about

I went out on a wilderness quest near the Panamint Valley, with the intention of "finding my voice"--I thought this meant finding the voice for a novel I was working on. Instead, literally, my singing voice came to me. I wrote this song, and I Send Out My Love--or rather, they were visited upon me through the desert air. I came back from the quest and found my first singing teacher, and started going to open mics at The Hotel Utah in San Francisco.

This is the Place

This is the place I say I’m a woman
That it’s okay to love
That it’s okay to say I love you
There’s plenty of room for us all
Each one born a precious pearl
There’s plenty of room for us all

Everyplace I can say I’m a woman
And my heart is free to love
To teach what it means to say I love you
There’s plenty of room for us all.
Each one born a perfect pearl
There’s plenty of room for us all

This is the body I dwell in as woman
Sacred, delightful and whole
I call you to join me in the power of loving
There’s plenty of room for us all
Each one born a beautiful pearl
There’s plenty of room for us all

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
