Influences:   Folk, Indie, Pop, Gospel. Music of life. I listen to an eclectic mix. Love strong female singer/songwriters. Dar Williams, Reba McIntyre, Abigail Washburn, Indigo Girls, Pink, Beyoncé, Lizzo, Crys Matthews and many of you! Beth DeSombre and Becky Warren's music were introduced to me through FAWM.

(Pronouns: she/her/hers) Soprano and storyteller with mediocre guitar and keyboard skills who loves making up tunes and singing with other folks. I have been married for 24 years and have two transracially adopted teenagers. Avid reader, puzzler and boardgamer.

This is my SIXTH FAWM! What!?! Six years ago, I joined mainly to listen to and support a friend....And now, I have connected to other Boston area songwriters, done a bunch of open mics, and written over 40 songs that I would not be embarrassed to perform in public.

I am open to collaboration. Your work belongs to you, and my lyrics/vocals belong to me. I will respect your work and give you credit for what you have done.

No songs by this fawmer (yet).

Leave a message. Log in to FAWM or sign up first!

  Glad to see you’re back! Four years, ey? That’s crazy, how time flies! Yes 100% up for a collab, always a highlight of my FAWM. Fingers crossed there’s some good material ready to come out of my brain haha. I’ll keep you updated as as I go, but I’m sure we’ll be keeping an eye on each other’s stuff anyway 😀

  Hi Colleen, I'm gearing up for my second year of FAWM (very different now that I know what to expect). Looking forward to hearing your latest

  Hey Colleen! Just 1 week till FAWM!
  
  With all the turmoil since last FAWM, it's hard to feel quite as amped up about it.
  
  "Unnecessary creation" just feels a little less necessary than usual.
  
  But...the artists (music & video creators, especially) are arguably the most influential modern-day philosophers, & every day/week/month/year we spend honing our craft is a day/week/month/year invested in contribution to culture, no matter how small our circle of influence.
  
  Hope you have a great Feb./FAWM, no matter how you spend it.
