I hope it's treating you well so far... I know the weather continues to be pretty wacky, but, I'm still grateful for the sun and the green!<br/><br/>I am also grateful for the very creative spring I had that has led to new bookings, recordings, and more writing (including piano songs) this summer! I've also recently re-vamped my website, so I hope you will check it out: www.jessyoakum.com.<br/><br/>And, I'm very pleased to announce the following shows coming up in the Boston area...<br/><br/>Sunday, August 3rd<br/>Day of Hope Darfur<br/>2:00-5:00 PM<br/>Institute Park, Salisbury Street<br/>Worcester, MA<br/>Info: http://savedarfurma.googlepages.com/events<br/><br/>Wednesday, August 6th<br/>A Night with the Songwriters of JP Unplugged<br/>8:00PM<br/>Café 939<br/>939 Boylston St<br/>Boston, MA<br/>http://www.cafe939.com/<br/><br/>I'll be singing my new piano-based songs at the Café 939 show (with Damien Bracken on piano), so I hope you can be there for their first public performances!<br/><br/>I am also hoping to book some house concerts this fall alongside the more "traditional-type" venues.
