A Christmas present song for Ms. Dana! 
I wish the ending was better in this slapdash recording (holiday rush!) but maybe I will do a proper recording of it soon. 😊
Esther Cain is Dana’s Grandma and, along with Audra Lou, we have a little country band by the same name. ❤️

I have been singing since before I could form words. After years of private concerts in my backyard for squirrels and friends, I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theatre Performance from Roosevelt University in Chicago. During this time, I actively performed with professional and community theatre companies. Upon graduation, I was offered a contract in Victoria, BC to sing at the World Famous Buchart Gardens for three consecutive summers with a well known Celtic band, Kitangus. My stay in British Columbia kick started my teaching career as well as prompted songwriting and many other music projects. I have composed original music as well as performed on five CDs recorded, manufactured, and sold in Canada. Stateside, I have released over 25 records - some EPs but most are full length albums with my band SeaStar  and solo projects.

SeaStar is my little band with Captain Chambers and Michael Falcone. We are also known as the Dublin Three. We have had a great time playing together at lots of venues around the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest and Ireland! We are currently working on another full length record.

In 2010, with George Sadak, produced by Ottoman Dance & Music Productions, we recorded a Middle Eastern Christmas album called Christmas Tapestry - East Meets West. It has been very successful in the dance community. I loved working on this album as it was a great challenge to take traditional carols and arrange them with Middle Eastern rhythms and players.

My studio, called Syren's Voice, resides in a 1923 train caboose. I teach voice, guitar, bodhran, penny whistle, and offer songwriting and Celtic Studies classes. I also do small recordings for students as well as put on acting summer camps. I absolutely love my job and my students. They teach me so much about life!

When I am not teaching or performing in the Pacific Northwest, Canada, or abroad, I am a wife, a photographer, a painter and a graphic designer. I am always up for a cuppa tea and a good chat as well as a good storytelling session. I currently have the travel bug and my daydreams have been becoming realities. My life has been a very lucky one with wonderful people, love, travel, musical friends, and adventure. I am thankful for it everyday.
