I'm performing at the Sooke Music Festival this Saturday, August 9th at 6pm. If you're in the south Vancouver Island area, please come. I've been rehearsing with 3 Victoria-based musicians (Alana on bass, Avi on drums and Vince on keys) and they'll be joining me at the festival. Can’t wait!

Yup, I wore lobster pants @ the Fox Cabaret show last week! My power pants lol. Seriously though, the pants came to symbolize something much more than a performance gimmick. Free post this week on Patreon. If you click thru, pls take the time to subscribe. Free or paid, every subscription helps. 💕

Excited to play with my band tonite at the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver! Doing something a little different, kinda Doorsesque as a 3-piece (guitar, keys and drums) without bass tonite. Fun!

One of my very favourite things is to come upon bees sleeping sweetly in flowers at the end of the day. My sister Tracy says she read that the ones sleeping in flowers at the end of the day are the bees at end of life. So, say thank you bee for all you do and good bye. And, that’s what I do. 💕🐝

I sang for my parents at their Celebration of Life over the weekend. To be honest, this was one of the hardest things I’ve done. It’s hard to describe...My emotions were all jumbled up & out of focus leading up to the moment I opened my mouth to sing… Read more - www.patreon.com/posts/129658...

Yes, we do! They’re delicious on their own right off the tree when ripe. We’ve also made pear crumple and pear compote. 😋 Here’s one of the pears in a photo of some harvest bounty from last year.

New single released today! ‘The Nite the Stars Fell (For Kurt Cobain)’ featuring Art Bergmann is a song I wrote last year on the 30th anniversary of Cobain’s death while I was in the middle of a medical emergency. My benevolent angels were watching over me that nite. I think Kurt was one of them.
The artwork for my new single. It shows my name and the song title in a white font in the upper left corner of the image. The image is a view over a steering wheel and dashboard of a car looking out over a valley at night. You can see city lights in the distance.

Yes.
Cartoon graphic with a dog sitting on a chair wearing headphones and with its eyes closed. There’s a thought bubble above its head that shows itself next to a stereo with music notes rising from the stereo. There is a quote above the cartoon from Jean-Michel Basquiat that reads ‘Art is how we decorate space. Music is how we decorate time.’

Love and fungi. Wonders of the universe and made to last. Believe in the power of love AND the power of fungi. @earthlyeducation.bsky.social
A photo of a post from another account called Earthly Education. It reads…

Dinosaurs ruled for 165M years, but fungi survived ALL FIVE mass extinctions. 

The universe doesn’t reward strength. It rewards adaptability. 

Be like fungi:

- Network everything
- Break down the old 
- Thrive in chaos
- Outlast everything

Yes.
A photo of a quote from David Byrne. It reads - ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if poetry - poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes and designs - is how the world works. The world isn’t logical, it’s a song.’

Released my latest single on Friday - ‘Microdoses.’ Check it out on Bandcamp and the streaming platforms. kelefleming.bandcamp.com/track/microd... ‘We are microdosing the apocalypse. And it’s hard to believe we’re this close to the end…’

The artwork also includes a header with Kele’s name and the title of the song. A photo of Kele singing in the recording studio. She’s standing behind a microphone so part of her face is obscured.
