Talking to the Moon:
Songs and Stories of Love and Longing
Singer/storyteller Bill Gordh brings kindness and compassion to tunes and tales inspired by his late wife, Jenny. Walking home one evening in 2018, Bill looked up at the moon and Jenny was there, he relates, "shining down on me." That first song, “Moon,” gave rise over the next five years to more than 50 songs exploring love and longing and sweet memories. This concert brings together a number of these tunes along with some folktales that together explore the complex emotions and thoughts that grief prompts in the human heart.
