So glad to be returning to this dreamy, idilic festival. I love the size, and that it's about half acoustic, half electronic music. Also the land is so beautiful. I'm delighted to be joining the fabulous crew at Dusty Barrel Stage this year, as well as returning to the family area to share music and community creating. Hope to see you there this spring! More details of showtimes and locations TBA.

Kingsland Wildflowers is kicking off Climate Week 2019 with an incredible lineup of unique and local lineup of organizations and artists all coming together to celebrate Greenpoint as a hub of environmental activity.

The native rooftop meadow and wildlife habitat located on the banks of Newtown Creek, a federal Superfund site, was created through a close collaboration of private and non-profit entities looking to rewrite the narrative on the possibilities of the cohabitation of ecology and industry. This annual festival aims to bring awareness to Greenpoint’s and the surrounding communities' long-standing environmental burden and its transition to a cleaner, healthier future as well as the global climate crisis and the potential for local, community-based solutions.

Lesley Kernochan will be offering music on the rooftop garden from 5-8pm. For the full line up please head to the website: http://www.kingslandwildflowers.com

Excited to play music for this wonderful town!

Acoustic Hip Hop with my dear bestie whom I've known since birth. We grew up on the same block, walked to school together, and both became musicians! And now we are collaborating, bringing together my folk flare, and his hiphop soul. We are having a blast creating together, and I hope you'll come out and see this special show. Matre is a deeply spiritual wordsmith, and I'm a big hearted goofball so the combo is clearly a spirit-hearted wordball goofsmith.

I will be singing the song that came to me called "The Universe", joined by hiphop artist Matre, for this free meditation event with Sister Shivani.

Here is the Brahma Kumaris event description:

Although humanity stands at the moment of unprecedented division, we are also on the precipice of increasing unity, harmony, peace and integrity. Major global changes begin with increased individual awareness and personal accountability.

We invite you to join in a thought- provoking conversation with a great wisdom keeper of our time Sister Shivani to hear the ways in which we may positively influence humanity through our inner evolution.

Burlington, I have a crush on you! And so I just have to sing songs to you from the bottom, middle, and top of my heart. Come join me from 5:15-6:45pm while I share a variety of my tunes.

I have technically been living in LA now for 11 months, and have yet to play a show in my hometown. This is absurd! So, I am hosting a house concert in my summer resting place (The Glowbox) just one block from the Santa Monica ocean. Please join us for a lovely evening of live music and art featuring my Americana songs, the hip hop talents of Matre, and charocal art by Dean Liao. The doors open at 7pm, show is at 8pm. We will provide some snacks and drinks, and feel free to bring a bottle of whatever you like to drink.

$10 donation for the artists.

Thank you! ~Lesley

This is a big beautiful festival happening in Eastern Oregon. There will be dance parties all around. I'm playing in the Kidzbiosis Dream Village. Though I have a children's music album, I will be sharing mostly my current Americana music from the new album "A Calm Sun." I'm blessed to be joined by the fabulous oud player Netanel Lesser (Atallah)! It's going to be a World Music Americana set like no other...plus of course, the Total Solar Eclipse of the sun.

Show times at the Kidzbiosis Family Tent are:

Saturday, August 19th, 12noon-1:15pm (with Atallah)

Sunday, August 20th, 4:30-5:45pm (with Atallah)

Monday, August 21st, 5:30-6:45pm (solo show)

This is the gorgeous mountain ridge home of my middle sister Lauren and her husband Doug. I'll be sharing music from the most recent album "A Calm Sun", and whatever the heck else I feel like playing in the moment. Bring your mountain bike if you've got one, cause they have their own trails on their land. Yes, I just said that.

I'm heading out in my car solo to bring the new album "A Calm Sun" to you. I'll be playing house concerts, radio shows, and venues throughout this beautiful land. If you'd like to come to a house concert please contact me and I can give you the address and invitation. I'll be adding dates to this list along the way too. I hope to see you out there!

Robin and I have been basically brother and sister forever now. We traveled and toured in March Fourth Marching Band and Vagabond Opera together. Then we both became our worst nightmares: singer/songwriters! So, we may as well share an evening of it together at the White Eagle. Here's more info on this talented, hilarious, wonderful chap: www.robinjackson.net
