It’s Never Too Late for Love!
Join us online around the virtual hearth on Sunday 2/15 at 1pm PST for LOVE DOGS: A Concert Film featuring Judith-Kate Friedman and Daniel “3D” Deardorff.
Beautifully filmed at Port Townsend’s Key City Public Theatre, this 70-minute concert brims with joy, humor, reverence, and some of the artist's most potent original love songs—many written for each other—along with settings of poems by Rumi and Robert Bly.
After the concert, Judith-Kate will share some new songs and poems, talk about Daniel’s legacy, and invite conversation about the future of the Mythsinger Legacy Project.
The event will be held on zoom. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish, pay-as-you-can with a suggested donation of $10 to $100 to benefit Mythsinger Legacy Project (a fiscally sponsored project of Songwriting Works Educational Foundation, 501c3).
About the Performers:
Judith-Kate Friedman is a multi-modal artist who inhabits flinty places where arts, activism, ritual, and Oral Tradition dance. Originally from NYC, she’s lived in Port Townsend for 20 years. Judith-Kate sings, composes, writes poetry, performs, curates and produces events, tends hearth-fires, and tells stories that celebrate aliveness. As founder and director of the Songwriting Works Educational Foundation, she has collaborated with thousands of elders, youth, and families across the continuum of cognitive, physical and emotional well-being. She currently stewards Mythsinger Legacy Project.
Daniel “3D” Deardorff (Feb 12, 1952-Sept 19, 2019) was a mythsinger, story-teller, ritualist, composer, recording artist and producer. A polio survivor and early teacher about Otherness, he toured extensively with renowned soft-rock band Seals and Crofts and produced award-winning albums for Pacific Northwest artists. When post-polio sequelae required change, he became an independent scholar of myth, teaching internationally with Robert Bly, Martin Shaw and others. Daniel is also the author of The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture and Psyche (3rd edn, Inner Traditions, 2022)
Judith-Kate and Daniel were partners in life, love, and creative collaboration for nearly 14 years. They lived in Port Townsend, where Judith-Kate continues to make her home.
