IRELAND!
April will bring SeaStar to Ireland for some music fun! Tour info TBA
This is a huge dream of mine! I can’t wait to land on the soil that has influenced me for so long!!

When winter was brawling, o’er high hills and mountains
And dark were the clouds o’er the deep rolling sea,
I spied a wee lass as the daylight was dawning
She was asking the road to sweet Carnloch Bay.

The adventure continues!! Join us for the ride!

Thanks for being our fans,
love,
Fae

Love ~ Music for Community, Rumors, Ho Ho Ho-ing!

As I turn the calendar page to the final chapter of this year all I can say is WOW! So much music played, listened to, recorded! Many miles traveled, new friends discovered, beautiful places embraced! I am caught in awe. I set many goals for my SeaStar family and we exceeded all of them. And most importantly… we had FUN doing it!! Thanks to all our fans for your continued support! For without you, none of this was possible! We played our second to last show of year on Friday, December 2 at Enlighten Cafe! I had an idea that I wanted to give back to the community. We had received so much this year, it just made sense to give back. I came up with LOVE ~ Music for Community. I wanted to host an evening featuring several bands and performers to raise money for a charity. We did just that. On board were: The Hayburners Jim Marcotte Jean Mann Syren House of Neptune Samaya Tribe Janet McCammon and SeaStar We raised money and gathered goods for the Ballard Food Bank. It was a very successful evening of music, dance, and community. I announced that this night was the first of many community driven shows that would happen throughout 2012. While this is a big undertaking, I believe that we need to embrace our community and pay attention to things around us. So keep a look out for the next Love ~ Music for Community Show! RUMORS… So many have asked… I heard things under people’s breath Friday night… “Where is Geli?” “Did she leave the band!? “ WHAT!? NO!!! In the start of autumn, Geli requested December off for a little break and social time. This year has been packed with gig after gig! Recording and promoting a CD, while having a day job, is a hard thing. So when Geli requested this, the band said ‘No Problemo!” We are still together and ready to get giging in January. SeaStar’s last show for 2011 will be Friday, December 9th at the Mandolin Cafe in Tacoma with Blue Star Creeper. We will have TC Cochran playing lead guitar for us that night. You should come! FA LA LA LA LAAAA We wish you a bright holiday season! Embrace your friends and family, hold a light in your heart, and do a few good deeds! Sing songs, play music, and most of all.. be gentle to yourself and those around you. Peace on Earth! Good Will to Men, Women, & Dachshunds! Cheers! -Fae PS: A very happy birthday to my She-Star sistah, Geli!

November has flown by! Autumn came on like a love affair! Lush and bright the colours took life and soon the last little leaves will fall.

New Design for T-Shirts!

Parties, Pandas, Shanties, Mini Tour, Mini Bar? well maybe…

So we began this month with a birthday party for our dear friend and STARHEAD, Shanie. We made it over to Soul Food Books in Redmond to have a little celebration, cat cake, and a few good laughs to ring in another year for a great person. It is always fun to play at parties with a gaggle of other musicians. Our improv skills are pretty high so this is a great treat for us! We played again at the Mandolin Cafe in Tacoma the following week! What a great venue. Lovely folks, great food, wonderful staff, and a bunch of new fans! We were very flattered that Bill, a new Starhead, even requested “True”! He said that he looked us up, listened to our music, and loved the tune. So we dedicated it to him! Brilliant! The next day Fae celebrated her one year anniversary of having the Caboose, an actual train car inside the Country Village, as her studio! We practice every week in this1923 historic gem. It is a wonderful place to make music!! Happy 1 year Caboosie! The third weekend hosted our mini tour with Blue Star Creeper and The Lunasphere! We played the Shanty Tavern in Lake City and the following day we made it up to Arlington, Wa to play the Mirkwood Cafe! What a wonderful group of folks to spend a couple of days with! Great music! Phenomenal people! We hope we can do this again.. but longer next time!! This past Friday we played the Blue Moon in Seattle. Pocket Panda put together a great night of music with Lone Madrone from Portland and Seth McGrath. The bar was hoppin’ with swelling folk music!…a change from the usual Rock/Punk scene that usually is there. Great staff, wonderful sound! Thanks to all that came out… Oh, and we were in costume.. so that was an extra bonus!! Happy Samhain! -Fae, Captain, Geli, & Falcone

Autumn Sings!

The harvest moon has been warming our hearts! The summer is lingering and we are in awe of the support from our fans. THANK YOU! Our little SeaStar family had a great Labor Day weekend fiesta at Geli’s house. Roasting marshmallows, rekindling fond memories from summer, and dreaming of new music and projects to get tangled in. There is much in the works for SeaStar!! Our gig at the SeaMonster Lounge was a great success and we are so thankful to have our STARHEADs at our shows! Thanks to all the new friends we met that night too!! This past weekend we had our Autumn Equinox show at the Enlighten Cafe with Kelly Blanchard of Blue Star Creeper. What a great night! It was warm, the tunes were swelling high and summer was giving us a fond farewell! There was something magical about that night. The crowd was small but those there cast such a warm light that the room really seemed to glow! Next weekend we are booked with Jim Marcotte at the Urban Coffee Lounge in Kirkland. Before that on Thursday, September 29, join Fae and Geli for a lovely little house concert in Kirkland! Joining us that night will be Dan Connolly! Visit our facebook page for full details! Thank you for all you do! We love ya! -Fae, Captain, Geli, & Falcone

Helping Japan, Rockin’ Out in Tudor Style & SeaStar Comes Home!

What an amazing summer. The last couple of weeks have been amazing! We traveled to Bellingham to play in a show called Japanefit at the Wild Buffalo. We shared the stage with some phenomenal musician: LA artist Goh Kurosawa , SJ Tucker, and Jean Mann A magical night for music and helping out others. We played the Bothell Farmers Market twice in July! Oh the lovely fruits and veggies the kind farmers had for us! Lots of good kudos and CD sales too! Fae, Geli, & Captain headed up to Langley, BC for the 5th annual BC RenFest . Geli joined the ladies of Syren for their rip roaring Celtic sets! Captain was the photographer and general mead taster. Twas a wild ruckus indeed! Then SeaStar came home to Index, where the CD was recorded, mixed, mastered, and nurtured. We had the honour to play in the Index Arts Festival. We had a primo spot with an AMAZING audience who gave us so much love! We even got cheers of ONE MORE! but the time crunch wouldn’t allow it! They responded with a ‘who cares!’ We laughed and soaked up the love. We had incredible sound from Pat Sample, who recorded us in April! We even met the kind lady who’s jumpy horse is on the cover of our album! She was so honored. Friends and STARHEADS traveled up to see us play! Just can’t believe the support and love from everyone. Thank you!! Finally, yesterday we had another appearance at the Bothell Farmer’s Market. Fae had a wisdom tooth pulled an hour before the set. While she didnt sing, Fae backed up the phenomenal Geli Wuerzner with guitar and bodhran. Geli lit the place on fire with her fiddlin’ magic! Captain kept us grounded with his thunderin’ bass… and all was well in the world of SeaStar Summer Smiles, Love, & Hugs -Fae, Captain, Geli, & Falcone
