the WALKING WILLOWS, Stephen Cohen on acoustic guitar, voice and cigar box guitar, and Rich Hinrichsen on double bass, piano and voice, with a revolving roster of guest artists on french horn, voice, electric bass, cello and other instruments, took to the road on occasion via plane, train or car to share their "creative acoustic" music and make friends along the way. They recorded and released one album, "by hand". These are their stories.

the WALKING WILLOWS do a house concert in Seattle, overlooking Lake Washington
Christian opened an evening of music with a solo piece. Rani Weatherby then sang a few songs accompanying herself on ukulele. Rich's friend Brian then did a wonderful Steely Dan arrangement on voice and guitar accompanied by Rich on double bass. Then the WALKING WILLOWS did an hour set, performing many of the songs we did on our recent trip to Spain, as well as a world premiere performance of a new song, Mathematics. Rani Weatherby did back-up vocals on It's My Story and Living with the Animals, and took these photos as well. When the music was over, Stephen drove into the night, heading back to Portland, while Rich and others took a walk around the neighborhood.
the WALKING WILLOWS are finding the house concert concept to be perfect for our music and our personalities. We hope to do many more house concerts in various locations, East,West, North and South, in the future!

The WALKING WILLOWS are at work on several projects: 1. The Cistern Symphony, which we will complete this fall, deep in the Cistern at Fort Worden, during our Centrum Residency in Port Townsend, Washington. 2. A WALKING WILLOWS album of original music, some of which will be from live performances. 3. We also are beginning to conceptualize several video and film pieces featuring WALKING WILLOW songs. Until those projects are completed, you can order music of Stephen Cohen and the Tree People at CDbaby:
