There were so many musicians with original songs and covers, we had a lively day from Noon till 7pm. When they announced the winner I almost died when they called my name. Whoa! I’m still reveling in the pleasure of being recognized for my performance.

June 19, 2002 – Kathy Geary and Ian Christopher Roberts on the Stage in the Woods at the Martinfeld Ranch Soltice Music Festival. A cloudy day and rather cool upper 50s for the height of summer but shinning faces all around as we celebrated with music dance and poetry. I was happy to sing my songs and some Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and a one by Ed Sheeran. If a video turns up I’ll be sure to post it here. Love!

We’re in the home stretch! Julian Giaimo is mixing five songs and bringing his considerable skills as a Music Producer.
Cloud Cover recorded five songs in a live session at Big Orange Sheep studios in Brooklyn NY in July 2021.
Overdubs were done remotely by some wonderfully talented musicians from far and wide. Ron Blake has been in the SNL Band for years and contributes the sax on “Heaven Is”. Elizabeth Rose, a singer-songwriter in her own right plays slide guitar on “When I’m Awake”. From the west coast, Jeness and Sean Johnson play viola and cello on “Sleeping Outside”.
Finding the right sound for today’s tastes is something I thought I could do on my own. But turns out I needed an extra set of ears to really hear the music. It’s like looking into a mirror and trying to see yourself objectively. Not easy. Julian Giaimo is there for me, I trust his instincts. The vocal sound is critical as my music relies heavily on the classical training I received as an operatic soprano.
After the live session were finished overdubs were recording remotely.
Ron Blake has been a member of the Saturday Night Live Band for many years and delivers a beautiful sax part for the song “Heaven Is”.
Elizabeth Rose is a singer-songwriter in her own right and plays slide guitar on the song “When I’m Awake”.
Kathy Geary – Jeness Johnson – Sean Lyons live at The Colony, Woodstock, NY 2020 Jeness Johnson and Sean Lyons are classically trained and created perfect string parts for the song “Sleeping Outside” on viola and cello.
