In January I started Some Glad Morning, a new blog entirely dedicated to my work with elders and music. This has been a vision long in the making! I started writing about my experience with elders and music seven years ago. So I have lots to share and am writing new ones. Some have been on this website in the past, but now I am keeping them all on Some Glad Morning.
My Elizabeth Hummel Substack has also kept moving, with new videos. I did a full year of full moon videos in 2023! I’m kind of proud of that. Here is my latest, a beautiful rendition of You Tempt My Touch with Johanna Warren on back vocals:

I have also been submitting all the new recordings for full distribution to the streaming services, so you should be able to find more of my work there than in the past.
I have struggled with my voice for the past several years. Things are better lately. Still on a healing journey, as are we all.
Brian keeps growing with his engineering and mastering skills. I’m so lucky to have an in-house engineer to produce my music! He also just put out an incredible release of his own in collaboration with Jarboe called Connotations. There are three “chapters.”
We’ve also done a few shows as Elizabeth Hummel and the Steamboat Ramblers. Jordan Hughes on harmonica, Brian on guitar, me singing and playing guitar. We do a mixture of originals and sing-alongs, super fun. One of the shows was on the Big Island in Hawaii, and I definitely want to go back there again to perform. Drop me a line if you want us to come for a house concert. Will consider anything!
