On February 12th, 2025, Mythsinger Legacy Project hosts a watch party for Love Dogs - An Evening with Judith-Kate Friedman and Daniel “3D” Deardorff. This event blends their classic full concert video (filmed on Valentine's day, 2015), plus new love poems and music from Judith-Kate and time for conversation.
The event will be held on zoom and is offered on a pay-as-you-can, pay-what-you-wish basis. Donations benefit the Mythsinger Legacy Project, a fiscally-sponsored project of Songwriting Works Educational Foundation (501c3).
The Concert:
We'll gather around the virtual hearth to hear these two internationally acclaimed songwriter-performers—Judith-Kate and Daniel—as they celebrate romance, fidelity, compassion, justice, community, and the power of song. Their two-set concert features original love songs—many written for each other—and musical settings of poems by Rumi and Robert Bly. Beautifully filmed at KEY CITY PUBLIC THEATRE , the video has become a classic brimming with love, humor and the artist's most potent songs. Before and after the concert Judith-Kate will read new poems and add a song or improvisation or two. Afterward, we'll share conversation together and celebrate love—past, present, and future!
