Val had a lovely conversation with Graham from Wolf Trap: it’s a 10-minute podcast. Enjoy! We have arrived in unexpectedly balmy Virginia and are getting psyched for the show tomorrow.

If you didn’t win, we hope you’ll come to the show anyway – it’s going to be a wonderful evening. We are incredibly proud and excited about SBW, and about all the fun music we’ll be [...]

Kathy Diamant did a phone interview with us about the origins of Sleeping Beauty Wakes and what we’re up to–and we ranged far and wide in our conversation. Check it out: http://www.kpbs.org/news/2011/aug/23/groovelily-wakes-sleeping-beauty/ It’s a pretty nice story of how we got where we are, and what we hope for the future.
