Happy New Year!
Hey pals, thanks for stopping by. 2024 was quite a year. Jonny and I found a forever perch for our Eagle on top of Starlight Mountain in Ramona but we lost our sweet Chewch just a few weeks before moving. We assisted mom in selling our beloved Hart Acres home where we had built a retreat center in the high desert but helped her moved into my brother's where she is extremely happy. I released my 13th album THE AFTER TIMES, was honored to be the cover of the San Diego Troubadour magazine and inducted into the San Diego Music Hall of Fame. On June 14th I stopped drinking and smoking my favorite herb which miraculously stopped my panic attacks and anxiety. My band The Ordeal geared up to play again and Calamity continued rocking in the free world. Grateful for and humbled by all of it.
On the first day of 2025 I'm going on a 2 week tour with 2 of my favorite songwriter pals. I joined the board of The Art Center Ramona and I'll be helping to direct a friend's Folk Opera musical called Hop On Board. I'll be reopening The Green Room thrift store introducing my new line of upcycled clothing called 1/2 Fast Fashion and I'll continue to make music videos for my personal catalog of music while I help others with their music videos and photo needs. The song circles will start up again in Spring and I'll continue to enjoy this beautiful community of music makers, artists and sweet people in Ramona. Creating art, music, and sharing inspiring people, places and things with my Patreon family will help me as I endeavor to endure the world's resistance to all inclusive peace, love, and progress. My wish is that our beautiful mother earth and ALL of her beings survive as we struggle to evolve. With love and hope in my heart I say to all, "Happy New Year". xo Cathryn Beeks
