THIS FRIDAY! The last time we tried this on a Friday the 13th was in March 2020. Here’s hoping for better luck this time!!

I still don’t understand how to feel connected via Bluesky. But I still don’t like donating content to Facebook. I’m just posting stuff on my Patreon page for now: HTTPS://patreon.com/taniaopland

One last Sunday afternoon Irish trad session before heading back to Ireland. (We actually have to drive farther to get to our local sessions when we’re in Ireland than we do in Washington!)

A couple of days ago I met up with another new friend for another great paddle in this amazing place called Puget Sound.

My first Puget Sound paddle of 2025 couldn’t have been better. Weather was perfect, I met a new friend, the tides were cooperative and, after not using my gear for two months, I didn’t forget anything crucial. Even remembered how to reassemble the hydraulic roof rack and load the boat. Phew!

It’s a surreal time to be on tour in Canada. One more show on Friday (Nanaimo Folk Connection). Hope the border is still open when we head home!

New song out today!

@laferenjia.bsky.social Welcome!! I hope this becomes a good place for us all to hang out. ❤️

First time in Hawai’i was the perfect chance to finally get the spouse in a kayak. SO MUCH FUN!!

Coming up next: Port Townsend, Washington. January 26. An afternoon maritime concert with Tania Opland & Mike Freeman, Quimper’s Watch and Brian Ledford.

Meanwhile, in the peace, love and joy department - the Holiday Season is not over, so our Winter’s Return online concerts from 2020 - 2022 are still available for all to enjoy on YouTube. www.youtube.com/taniaopland

Malfunctioning and Destroying Civilizations - now there’s a worthwhile mission in life. Okay, we understand the assignment.

We’re excited to be a part of Maritime Folknet’s annual “Yule Tide” concert this year (December 7 in Seattle), but also missing our usual time with William Pint & Felicia Dale. Fortunately, www.WintersReturn.com will be back again next year!

We have a gig next weekend! It's been so long, I'm forgetting how to promote. Pease help us spread the word!! Dec 7, 7:30 pm Maritime Folknet's YULE TIDE CONCERT Woodland Park Methodist Church 302 N 78th St., Seattle 98103 with: Opland-Freeman, Strikes A Bell, Tim Hall buytickets.at/maritimefolk...

Happy December, everyone!! I can't believe I'm still kayaking instead of skiing.

It didn’t rain. Two days in a row! Yes, I went out, thank you.

It looks like it might not rain tomorrow?! Good enough for me.

Is there anything similar to FB's Pages feature here? Or some other way to create a professional presence that we can manage but keep separate from our personal profile? I'm not finding any hints in the help pages. facebook.com/TaniaOplandMusic

Hello, fellow virtual migrants. I am going to keep a presence on fb (for now), because it will take time to rebuild so many years of connection, if that’s even possible.
