Hi Friends,
My last tour, “The Final Outing” started in earnest this weekend with four sold-out shows in the Northeast, and continues this week in Austin and Long Island NY. Tour dates continue through August! I’m excited to see so many of you who I’ve met at shows over the years, and say “thanks!” I’ve had 25 adventure-filled years as a road warrior, and I’ll soon be starting a new chapter! In case you missed the original announcement about going off the road, here it is: https://catiecurtis.com//blog/f/News/4659

Those who pre-ordered it on Kickstarter are telling me it’s their new favorite. One person wrote "What a great record. Front to back!! Wearing this thing out." It’s my new fave too, and a perfect bookend to Truth From Lies, my first distributed CD, released on EMI in 1996.

MAKE STUFF UP CLUB
I started a private group on Facebook that I welcome you to join! It’s called the Make Stuff Up Club with Catie Curtis. I give regular writing prompts (at least 3 a week), and we all reply in the comments with our responses! For example, every Friday we do haikus. One Friday they were about favorite beverages. You can imagine the range of poems about everything from water and chai tea to whiskey. For me, it’s as much fun reading the responses as it is writing! You can write as much or as little as you want. I find that making stuff up on a regular basis keeps my little light going! And it’s free! Join us here: Make Stuff Up Club
RETREATS
Imagine having the time to be creative with no other distractions … all meals are prepared and dishes done for you. Come to our retreat! You will get used to being pampered. We lead daily workshops that prompt your writing in a playful way. We offer feedback sessions and song circles. You’ll enjoy the lush nature found on gorgeous Robinhood Cove, Georgetown Island ME. No experience or skill is required. We welcome everyone with love for music and a desire to be creative in a safe space. The 5th Anniversary of “Catie at the Cove” is July 25th-30th, 2017. The retreat is co-facilitated by the effervescent and talented Jenna Lindbo. Go to https://catiecurtis.com/about/retreats/ to find out more, and apply!
I WANT TO MARRY/CELEBRATE YOU
Are you engaged? Considering getting engaged? Wondering how to make your day special? When I marry you, I help to write the service, put together the prose and flow of the day and of course, help to choose songs that feel right to you. I officiate the ceremony, and play music as well. I also play milestone anniversary parties (often as a surprise guest!) and birthday celebrations. Write to me (catie@catiecurtis.com) for more info.
I look forward to connecting with you all in one way or another—at a show, a retreat, a private event, or online!
See you soon!
Catie
