 About Me |
I am an author, editor, and communications professional who has written extensively on a range of interests, including American history and politics, building and maintaining sustainable communities,and music and the arts. In addition, I am the producer of Common Ground Coffeehouse, a performing arts series located in Hastings-on-Hudson NY. It was founded as an effort to build community and to support regional and national musicians and other artists. Since 2005, Common Ground has used its profits to operate the Common Ground Microcredit Fund. The fund raised has raised over $20,000 for local, regional and global community groups and organizations that provide either much needed social services or work toward progressive, nonviolent social change.Now in our seventh year, Common Ground has hosted such beloved national and regional artists as Chris Smither, Kimya Dawson, Jen Chapin, Guy Davis, Sloan Wainwright, The Kennedys, Red Molly, Emma’s Revolution (Pat Humphries and Sandy O.), Great Lake Swimmers, and many more. Common Ground is also a regular stop on the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s Annual Most Wanted Preview Tour. In addition to traditional and modern folk artists, Common Ground frequently features other musical genres, such as jazz, blues, cajun-zydeco, popular song, R&B, and even the occasional evening of avant garde gamelan music!
