Hi, it's Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter on this blustery fall-like day in Millerton, NY. Just wanted to remind you that I'll be playing the "Taste of Litchfield Hills" festival held at Lime Rock Park, in Lime Rock, CT. in a couple of days. There will be lots of good food, good wine, cool cars, beautiful crafts and of course great music! The shows are 1PM and again at 3PM, so if your schedule permits it, stop by and say hi! - Nancy
Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. I found myself laughing about the reason I use my maiden name along with my married name so I thought I'd share. You see, last year I was hired to play a party in Sharon, Ct. Guests in attendance were from Sharon, Lakeville. Salisbury, Lime Rock, Litchfield Hills, Falls Village, Canaan, Norfolk, Torrington and all over Litchfield County, Ct.
Hi, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. I was just thinking about an "up and coming" festival I've had the privilege of being a part of called FODfest. It occurred to me that you may not know FOD so I thought I'd give you a little bit of history. The founder/organizer/promoter of FODfest is a guy by the name of Todd Mack.
What a beautiful late summer morning here in Millerton, NY. Blue sky, plenty of sunshine, dry air (for a change) with a really nice breeze. The trees are looking a little tired or perhaps restless is a better word - as though they would really like to molt their green in favor of fiery red, shimmery yellow, dazzling pink and brilliant orange. And while I'm thinking of it, good morning to you all, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. I was just thinking about my song As You Are.
Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here on a gorgeous late summer day. Just got to thinking about a recent experience I had and thought I'd share it with you. So @ a year ago I was getting gas and the music was just pouring out of me (I know, what else is new?). Anyway, happens that another woman was getting gas at the same time, heard me singing and said "Wow, you're good! My fiance and I put on concerts with all kinds of acts including New Riders of the Purple Sage down 22 at Kaplan's farm". Long story short, nothing much happened after that.
Howdy, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter on this end of the line. I recently had an interesting experience. It was a conversation with a lovely woman from NYC who is a singer/songwriter, has plenty of talent but no confidence in herself, nor does she know how to put her talent across. So she's asked me if I would coach her in performance technique and is willing to travel from NYC to Millerton, NY to do it! Imagine that.
Good Evening, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. Just thought I'd update you on the Falls Village, Ct. gig. We played at Walsh's Country Store which is a REALLY nice place - full of beautiful things and good treats to eat. There were some truly WONDERFUL musicians there, SMOKING Finger Pickers, TERRIFIC songwriters, FABULOUS fiddle and mandolin players, as well as lead and harmony singers. The response was so enthusiastic to the music, that we've been asked to perform every Saturday at noon, so if you get a chance, stop in take a listen, look around and enjoy.
Hi there, Nancy Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. Good job on your part with all the luck you wished me - it worked! I just got word that The Taste of Litchfield Hills Festival in Lime Rock, Connecticut has asked me to play over Labor Day Weekend, actually on Labor Day itself. It's for 2-1 hour shows (or there abouts): The first is at 1PM and the 2nd is at 3PM. Lime Rock Park is not only in a gorgeous setting, it's also got some cool history behind it due in part to the fact it's the classic car course that Paul Newman (among others) used to race.
Hi, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here.
Hi there,
Nancy Carey Johnson here. I recently found out that Lakeville, Ct. the town next door to the one I live in is hosting "A Taste of Litchfield Hills". In it's 25th year it is something like a cross between a harvest festival and an appreciation of the Litchfield Hills area. Anyway, they are having several musicians perform for their guests and I've applied to be one of those entertainers. I REALLY want to be a part of it, so wish me luck! Nancy
