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.

19 November 2009

Time for a wee update yet again. I’d mention how unbelievable it is that it is, for all intents and purposes, nearly Christmas already, but won’t bother as you probably hear enough or say so enough yourself as it is. (Though, speaking of Christmas, check out the bottom of my linkx page for some Alternative Gift ideas!)

I’ve just added something new to my ‘Music’ page! A list of venues that I’ve played since 2005. I’d thought of keeping a gig archive, like I can access within my MySpace account (and from which this list is compiled), but that would just be too much so instead I’m listing venues. As I say on the page, if you can help me add venues, towns or countries to that list, please let me know! (It makes me feel fancy to have a variety up there ;) It was interesting going through the list, actually, remembering gigs I’ve not thought about in years. I just wish I’d played gigs in as many states as I’ve watched them! I really miss driving for hours to see 7N, Young Dubs, The Avett Brothers… If any of you are lucky enough to have them touring near you, go! And tell them I said hi.

I hope you’re all well and not having flooding like parts of Scotland are at the moment. It’s smur* to the extreme! Oh, it's my birthday in a week as well, hurrah!

Cheers,
Shoshana
*If you don’t know what smur is… you’ve clearly never been to Scotland! ;)
