As time passes and the world continues to unfold, only one thing
has any consistency in Shoshana’s life: Music. Music is the origin,
music is the adventure, music is the source of comfort and the
call of the unknown. For all the talk, talk, talk in the world, music
is what manages to transcend, somehow, all the other things we
tend to busy ourselves with.

Shoshana is an interesting mix of the people she has known and
the places she’s been, whether only in passing or for some time
called ‘home.’ In fact the only thing that can be said for certain is
that music is the home she carries with her, gradually building a
collection of influences. Traces of western and celtic folk, as well
as classic and alternative rock, complement the jazz, blues, and
americana that is also to be found in her unique and striking
original compositions.

Life is full of demands, but at the end of the day only one thing
really matters. For Shoshana, this is music; in her experience she
has come to know something that she wishes to share because
of how much difference it can make: Music saves.

14 May 2009

So, summer is finally upon us! Or at least there are some days that don't rain here in Glasgow, and I'll take what I can get! ;)
Things are rolling along ok, except that my guitar, the lovely, lovely blue with the white trim and white cowboy strap, has gone to guitar heaven. That's right; the near-fatal injury she suffered three years ago at the Shetland Folk Festival has finally caught up with us, and the guitar no longer has a head. This is one reason that I still have not recorded the EP I've been promising you (and myself!). However, it WILL happen in the next few months, and it'll be great to share some more recent songs with those of you who cannae make it to my gigs in Scotland. However, I am at least still able to play thanks to my friend pOOkah, who has loaned me one for the time being.
Other than all that, just enjoying the longer days and the extra time it affords for drinking in the sunshine! I hope you are all well in your corners of the world, and as always wish you warmth and good music!

All the best,
Shoshana
