It was fun to celebrate my birthday weekend with another Cancer – Maura Dunst. And it was so much fun to hear about her upcoming album violin songs. It includes thoughtful renditions of well loves songs.
I knew about her work in The Foxgloves and was recently introduced to other her band, Triple Fiddle but her work studying very feminist (and early examples) of women authors combining literature and music. So interesting. Also interesting is her women’s/non-binary acoustic music jam – Collectiva. It’s currently looking for a new time and home but if you’re interested in joining such a band, you should follow her page.
