Ferron is always excellent ~ just close your eyes and be transported back to the land with all your sisters around you swaying and singing in harmony. I miss michigan.......
I only really feel like I completely belong on this earth when I am listening to Ferron sing this. I love the image of singing it together with a festival full of people.
This is my favorite Ferron song. I love this song so much, and I love hearing her play it live. I have sang it with thousands of people at the Vancouver, Folk Fest.
She's actively repressed by her recording company, RCA or Capitol I think. You can only get her stuff direct off the web from her, and not all of that, they'll sue her if she sells her own music, but they won't reprint it.
If you google "ferron driver" or "nemesis music" "ferron shady grove" I think you'll find the site
Absolutely!!! I hope you and Celtsister are coming on Thursday (or Fri.) so we can go to Lisa's party on Friday nite for the weekend. Celtsister, I have heard so much about you from Orla. Can't wait to meet you at Festival. "See you in August"
CELTSISTER !! I will pay your ticket !! YOU NEED TO GO MICHFEST ! I know I am going public here, I have talked to you privately so many times about this, and you are still not decided ! Is there anyone from any part of the world that convince Celtsister to come to MICHFEST ??? PLEASE HELP HER DECIDE !!!
Of all the amazing womyn I have in my life, I missed you the most !! I want to dance with you, I want you beside me, as the friends we are !! I want to share this amazing experience with you !! You were in my head and my spirit !! WE WILL BOTH DANCE WHILE THESE TWO AMAZING WOMEN SING ! LIKE TWO FRIENDS ON THE ROAD.. ALL THE WAY FROM NORTHERN IRELAND !!
SO GLAD YOU POSTED THIS !! THANK YOU !! What a pleasure, brings me back to Michfest, it was my first, and seeing these two artists preform is one of my fondest and most intimate memories of all the marvelous womyn preformers !! CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN IN AUGUST !! CANTTTTTTTTTT WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT !! Have to book my fight soon !! from orla a big fan from Northern Ireland.
Fun, absolutely REMARKABLE, and tugs at heart strings! What a great song and performance. I hope you might travel to the local folk music festival. Ferron, via Bitch, via Jay Brannan this tubes all the way to the Robson Valley. Home of the Robson Valley Folk Music Festival.
I remember hearing Ferron almost 28 years ago at the Soft Rock cafe in Vancouver, her concerts were always a joy to attend. It always felt like she was entertaining friends and all were welcome. Now, a lifetime later, I have to say that listening to songs like 'Girl on a Road', 'Cactus' and 'Snowing in Brooklyn' bring back fond memories. I 'm glad to see that, after all these years, she is still enjoying the company of friends and the opportunity to entertain
B, I am delighted to have stumbled upon these videos!! They brought the preformances back so clearly. You two are so great working together. I was trying to pick a favorite video but they are all great.

She wasn't always excellent. I remember when she used to forget the words to her own songs and bust people's guitars...quite by accident, but still..
