1:30 pm Linda Stonestreet ~  Singer songwriter and vocal improv performer and guide, ceremonialist

Linda believes the purpose of music is to open hearts and weave the fabric of society in
harmony with mother Earth. Developing Song as ritual is her growing edge and is as
important as the folk, gospel and vocal improvisation she loves. Of the 100 songs she’s
written, of which 40 are published, her favorites are the tunes about places that
informed her music, places where wisdom is encoded in beauty.

2:30 pm Maya McNeil ~ Singing for the soul through the bramble and the briar.

“She sings like a funky angel that has purposefully forgotten that she was an angel, so to be here to unlock powerful sounds that are otherwise rarely found. There is medicine in her voice, and her songs are meant for every direction, all around.” -JH Pisac, Peru

With simple chord structures as the foundations for her stories sung, Maya draws from her blues and folk influences to craft music that is ever meant for reconnecting us to our wildest dreams and to love for one another and this beautiful Earth. Currently based in Sebastopol, CA, McNeil is currently working on her first full length studio album, due out this Spring.

I want to use music to bridge the many cultures I experience. Around the world, music brings people and communities together, and I see myself as part of that joyful work. The music that resonates for me is not one simple style or genre – we need all sounds and textures. I believe that the more we listen, the more we bring new sound into being, the more power we have to build peaceful, purposeful lives together. Join us.
