New Music: The Waking + Canyonlands

Dear Friends and Fans, 

Warm hello to you! 

I’ve been walking the line between “just can’t seem to move forward” and “let’s go!”  Have you ever felt that way?

My wonderful producer and mentor Billy Smiley came to see us in California last week, and we recorded 8 new songs!  Some of these will complete my upcoming album “CANYONLANDS”, and the others will fill out an upcoming EP of sacred songs. Expect more upcoming news and releases as we gear up for the new record.

We will be releasing the single “Canyonlands” later this month! The song is about the incredible musical genesis of the 1960s in Laurel Canyon with Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, Steven Stills and more…..

Introducing “The Waking”

Today, I’d like to share with you the single release of my song “The Waking” with lyrics from the famous poem by Theodore Roethke, a poem I learned in college and carried all my life! 

I had placed the song as the opening track of my album “The Water Is Wide” but wanted to feature it also as a single, and am at work creating an “official” music video for the song out this summer! The song tells of that special courage we need right now, the courage to go wherever our lives lead us. “I learn by going where I have to go.” 

Listen to the track

The Store is Open!

I’m also happy to share with you that my online store is now open!

We are part of a larger dance it seems, larger than we may have realized. My third album #TheWaterIsWide Is currently available as a CD to be ordered on Amazon. I do plan to print it possibly as a vinyl album one day. We are open for business at katemagdalena.com, here to serve you!

Finally, here’s a link to the music video for #ALargerDance, please enjoy.

Much aloha, courage, love, strength,

Kate Magdalena
