Wow! What a blast! After 18 years of performing both solo and with lots of other folks joining me from time to time I have to say last Saturday night was one of the best times I have EVER had performing!!! If you missed it don't worry, we are busy booking more "Christy Snow and the Free Spirits" shows. We'll be back at Pewter Rose April 11th and at The Evening Muse for a LIVE CD recording on June 20th!.

The Free Spirits are...
Brandon Weiner on drums, Rick Walt on bass and the girls - Stacey Kirkpatrick, Joanna Gerdy and Lane Morris singing backup.

Let us know if you have a venue you want Christy and the Free Spirits to perform at and we'll give them a shout.

Christy will be performing at the Pewter Rose - 1820 South Blvd. Charlotte on Feb. 7th from 8:30pm until 11pm. She will be joined by bassist Rick Walt and drummer Brandon Weiner. Join us in celebrating the release of the new CD "I Sing My Love!"

I am finally about to "Sing My Love" into the world!!! The NEW chant CD is almost finished and I am happy to say I think you will be pleased with the result of the delay. If I had been finished in July as I first intended then the CD would not have included three of my favorite new chants; "I See You" is a simple affirmation of seeing the light and love in every individual. "Breath of Thanks" was inspired in July when I had the privilege of working with Dr. Fred Luskin and he led the participants through a gratitude exercise with the same name during one of his Forgive For Good Workshops. Then in September at the fantastic Sand, Sea and Spirit retreat in Gulf Shores, Alabama I spontaneously released this chant medley which reflects Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Native American and Sufi influences.

So a HUGE Thank You to all of you who pre-ordered the CD and helped it into being and for your patience with the creative process of music and life!

Stay tuned and I will let you know just as soon as it is ready to go. Hey, just think...anyone that you forget to buy a Christmas present for you can just tell them you really didn't forget but rather you were waiting for Christy's new CD:-)

Happy Holidays!
Much love,
Christy
P.S. The creative juices are flowing in a multitude of ways and I have realized that "I Sing My Love" is the first in a trilogy. The next one "I Dance My Joy" will be multicultural chants all set to dance music. The plan is to start recording this next one in January!

Hi Everyone,
I am embracing alot of shift and growth right now as I know is common with most everyone I speak with these days. I am taking the month of September to be on Sabbatical from my work at the Center For Positive Living here in Charlotte. Some wonderful things that are coming out of this time of renewal and expansion for me are; making my way back into the studio for a couple of projects and taking time for reflection and introspection to work on writing my first book.

In a very short time my new chant CD "I Sing My Love" will be complete and available to help remind us all to remain in our heart space and let the love that we are lead the way through life's changes. For those of you who have supported this work with your pre-order, thank you and thank you for your patience. I had expected the release of this CD to be July but I am so glad that did not come to be as I have written several new chants that will make this project even more special!

I am also in process of completing a guided meditation CD which is supported by my Native American Flute Music and is built around the theme of saying "YES" to life.

As always I am enjoying teaching flute classes and performing my folk shows. In addition I am also thrilled about the new ways that I am being asked to share! I am now traveling around to different Spiritual Communities as guest speaker and retreat/workshop facilitator as well as assisting communities through leadership workshops.

Some say it is because I am a Gemini that I like to express in so many ways. I think it is just saying "YES" to life and allowing the creative flow of the Universe to flow through me in whatever way is necessary in the moment.

Thank you for sharing the journey!
In love & gratitude,
Christy

Hi All,
Well here comes summer and what a great year it has been so far. I am happy to report that the Virginia Women's Music Festival was better than ever this year with 379 women in attendance. Next year will probably be an even bigger year for them considering the press they received this year in the New York Times!!! Go Girls! www.campoutva.com

Ms. Renee Leboa & I are gearing up to head to Kansas City for a very special weekend at Unity Village. We will be facilitating a Native American Spirituality and New Thought Retreat June 16-18.

In other news I am happy to say that almost all of my CDs are back in stock. It is a good problem to have when you sell out of CDs but it sure feels good to have them back in stock. Solid Ground is the only one we are still waiting on and it will be restocked soon.

Speaking of CDs, the plan is to hit the studio this winter to begin working on a new Christy vocal CD as well as a joint spiritual CD with Renee. I'll keep you posted.

That's the brief version of the latest goings on:-)

Hope to see you soon.
Thanks for your continued support!
Love,
Christy

This coming Sunday New Thought churches across the country have decided to speak on the theme "Stand For Love". I am grateful to have my song "Stand In Love" included in this weekend's services by many of these churches.

Due to the wonderful response I have received the distributor is currently sold out of my CD "Change Is Good" which includes this song. The distributor will be restocked soon, however it will not be soon enough for this Sunday's services for those of you who have not yet received your copy.

Therefore I am providing a downloadable version here on my website along with the lyrics (see Listen & Lyrics page). I will gladly email the sheet music to anyone interested. Simply email your request for sheet music to christy@christysnow.com. I am happy to contribute in this way and I am offering both of these options to everyone on a love offering basis.

This song was truly Divinely guided, written moments after the towers fell on 9/11/01 as I realized that there is never an excuse to fail to practice what we
believe, we must always choose love. Have a wonderful service, reminding people of the truth.

Love and Blessings to you all!
Christy

You know what that means! It's time for Campout VA, the Virginia Women's Music Festival on 96 acres of private Women's space bewtween Richmond and Charlottesville. Sorry guys, it's a girl thang!

It's time for camping, playing in the grass and listening to lots of music! Hope to see you there!!!

Exciting! Amazing! Overflowing with happiness! None of those words really capture it, as a matter of fact Sunday was one of a very few days in my life that I found myself speechless! Renee' Leboa and I are honored and filled with gratitude to be the new ministers at the Center For Positive Living here in Charlotte!

The Center is our Spiritual home, and we are exploding with excitement at the idea of lending our experience, creativity, enthusiasm and love to growing the Spiritual Family that is the Center For Positive Living. We have many ideas for the growth of the church and its increased participation in the Charlotte area at large.

The question came up many times while we were interviewing with them about our music careers and how this could all work together. We are still going to perform and we are still going to tour but being at home more than we have been in the last 3 years is something that Renee' & I have been working toward for over a year and a half and this works into that plan beautifully. We believe that there is no reason that we can not do both and be extremely happy doing it, while serving the Center in a wonderful way. We will still be participating in the Spiritual conferences and festivals we love so much and I will still be performing at the folk shows and folk and women's festivals that I love so much.

So, there you have it...that's what's new with me...A LOT!

Visit their website to learn what is going on at the Center and what else is new. You can go directly to it from the links page but the address is www.cplcharlotte.com
Make sure you sign up on the Center's new website to be added to their mailing list if you want to be informed of upcoming events (don't rely on this site for that, we don't want you to miss out!)

Also, Charlotte Area...I hope to see you on Thursday at Wine-Up and Southern CA ladies, I hope you are making plans to attend the Wise Women Retreat the first weekend in February in Desert Hot Springs (see calendar for more info).

Lots o' LOVE!
Christy
