Love Songs To Life with Esmé Olivia
April 2nd
6pm PDT . 7pm MDT . 8pm CDT . 9pm EDT
ABOUT THIS CONCERT
In this time of changing seasons and the equinox, I will offer songs for any and all who care to listen live, via the interwebs and those quartz-containing devices that are able to connect us across space and time zones.
A few months ago, a collision of destinies forced me to shift focus from anxious over-giving(and other avoidance tactics) more bravely towards that sacred question, What do I desire?
The word desire may have origins in “de sidere," or “from the stars.” The songs that have come to me as of late feel like part of a star map that I may navigate by.
“Follow the Yesses,” “Made it Through,” and “I Walk with my Ancestors,” are some of the melodies birthed. I’ve desired generosity; the songs ask me to send them out into the world.
You are warmly invited to enjoy and sing along if you so choose.
With heart,
Esme Olivia
