About this project

Just for visiting, shows you care... THANK YOU!!

I am here to raise funds for a full length studio album that I would like to have available for sale by Father's day 2011.

Over the last 10 years I have written about my travels, my relationships, my family, world events and more. It's time to finally make a CD with some of these stories and share them. I am supported and honoured to have 3 wonderful band members: Captain Chambers on Bass; Michael Falcone on Percussion, Keys, and Vocals; and Geli Wuerzner on Fiddle and Vocals. We have been rehearsing and playing throughout the Seattle area and more. We are ready! We just have to gather the funds.

Here are some examples of our tunes! SeaStarQuantcast

We will record at Paradise Sound in Index, WA with the phenomenal Pat Sample. We are so pleased with Pat and comfortable with him, that we know we will have an excellent recording.

The funds will cover the production costs of recording, mixing, mastering and duplication of the CD entitled "Home".

The new CD will be a wonderful tool to start the momentum of a tour and to take our musical journey to the next step.. getting out there with the music and absorbing the journey along the way. I know that this will be an exciting adventure that will spark more music and more stories to tell.

I have been so fortunate in my life with how things have unfolded so far. I am so grateful for all the support and love from my friends, family, and fans. I truly appreciate you.

Thank you for taking the time. Thank you for supporting us! And if you can't contribute financially, please help us promote and get the word out there.

♥♥Big Love,

Fae

"With a velvet voice, a hearty laugh, & the traditions of the Celtic winds, Fae Wiedenhoeft takes her listeners on a musical journey through history & tradition.

Compared & influenced by the greats: Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, & Sandy Denny, Fae’s song stories are a must for fans of Celtic Folk!"

Fae... a folky, irishy, curly haired girl who likes to sing about love, birds and remembrances kept in a favourite hiding place. She finds secrets in sea glass and stories in driftwood. Her music is influenced by the dancing flowers, wind through trees, and the raspberry sky at sunset. She loves to hear people's tales and dip her toes into waters unknown. She is as free as the blossoms on the wind and often gives cds away to welcoming ears. Music can't be tamed.

She has composed original music as well as performed on five CDs recorded, manufactured, and sold in Canada entitled:
Myriad ~ "Song of the Isles"
Syren ~ "Waves to the Sky", "Invitation"
Cauldron~ "After the Mad King Dies”
Kitangus ~ "Into the West"

Stateside, she has released 7 solo CDs entitled:
The Saffron Sessions
Live at the Lyon's Den
February Fog
The Branch Above
Colour Fade EP
Lost but Not Forgotten
Hope
In 2010 she released "Christmas Tapestry" with Middle Eastern percussionist, George Sadak. The album is a fusion of traditional Christmas carols with a Middle Eastern flair.

In 2007, Fae created a band in Seattle called SeaStar. As a duo, they released a couple of SeaStar's albums: SeaStar - demo (the Blue Album) and 2009 RPM Challenge (or known as the "Black Album")

The band has been plowing new ground with a soon-to-be third album! Along for the ride is filmmaker, Captain Chambers on Bass Guitar, Michael Falcone on Percussion and Keys, and Geli "Plinkey Plinks" Wuerzner on Fiddle! SeaStar continues to play Folklife in Seattle, Yakima Folklife, the Index Arts Festival, The Sunset, the Comet, High-Dive, The Comet, Skylark, and more!. Like the humble explorers they have become, SeaStar always greets you with a smile…and they love to play!.... ... we love music .. . . the sea & the sky . .....

Fae feels very fortunate to be on this path. She couldn't be where she is today without her Captain, her family, and all those she met along the way. Things happen for a reason and every event helps shape the stone today...
Namaste.
