Seattle singer plans soulful Solstice show in Cottage Grove
By Caitlyn May

Last year, Jill Cohn wasn’t think-
ing about writing music.
She had just gotten out of a
seven-year relationship that saw
her pick up and move from Seat-
tle to Colorado. Th e last thing on
her mind was resuming a touring
schedule or creating new songs.
“I didn’t want to write a break-up
record,” she said in a phone inter-
view from Washington. “I was fo-
cused on healing my broken heart
but then things started getting nice
in my life. I was feeling happy again
and having a more positive outlook
on my future and I started writing
songs.”
She took those songs with her
on tour, mostly traveling between
Washington and Oregon, getting
back into the groove.
“Two songs came down the pike.
One called ‘Possibilities’ and one
called ‘Legends’ and I thought I
was ready to make another re-
cord,’” Cohn said.
Th e result was Balanced on the
Rail, a record Cohn will be releas-
ing in Cottage Grove on Dec. 21

Seattle recording artist Jill Cohn will perform this Friday at the Cottage
Grove Events Venue.
ing homage to Joni Mitchell, Sar-
ah McLachlan and the Counting
Crows, she says it’s not that cut and
dry.
during a Winter Solstice Concert
at the Cottage Grove Events Venue.
While Cohn’s promotional ma-
terial describes her music as pay-
When Cohn fi nally felt ready to
make music again aft er her break-
up, she contacted her old band in
Seattle and the group recorded the
record over the span of six days.
Now, Cohn is taking the record
on tour.
“Even now when everyone has
hundred of songs on their phone,
live shows are important. I just
connect with an audience,” she
said.
Th e 7 p.m., Dec. 21 show is fam-
ily-friendly, according to Cohen
and is priced on a sliding scale. En-
try starts between $5 and $10 per
person.
“I’m super excited about it and
I’m excited to do a Solstice concert
because not everyone celebrates
Christmas or Hanukkah so it’s nice
to have a gathering for folks about
the season in general,” she said.
“It’s all on a sliding scale, whatever
folks can aff ord because of the hol-
iday season and money is tight.”
CDs will also be available for sale
during the concert and Cohn’s mu-
sic can be found online at reverb-
nation.com/jillcohn.
“Th e hardest thing in the world
to do is describe your own mu-
sic,” she said. “I’m always fl attered
when I have those comparisons to
Joni Mitchell or Counting Crows
because that’s the music I cut my
creative cloth from. More than
anything though, I’m a folk artist
and a songwriter. I hope to con-
tribute my experience with some-
thing that matters to people and
that they can connect with.”
Cohn started connecting with
people through music in her home
city of Seattle where she got her
footing as a musician.
“I started writing songs and put
out my fi rst CD and then I realized,
you know, playing shows was going
to be the way to get that out to peo-
ple,” she said. “I love traveling so I
started doing small trips. At fi rst it
was just here and there and then it
became my full-time occupation.”
Eventually, Cohn landed open-
ing gigs for Jewel and Dave Mat-
thews. In 2001, she was a top fi ve
fi nalist in the Lilith Fair Talent
Search and since 1999, has released
12 independent releases — some
appearing on popular television
shows.
Sheriff ’s offi ce off ers travel tips to keep holidays safe, happy

Pack snacks and drinks so
you and your family will be

Wherever you’re heading,
if you’re traveling during
the holiday season, remem-
ber that everyone else in the

and long lines at the airport

tips to help you survive the

tra time before fl ights to get
through security and plan
your fl ights to allow extra
time between connections.
Follow these fl ying tips:
• When fl ying, make sure
you check the airline’s re-
strictions ahead of time for
carry-on luggage and fees
for checked bags.
• Avoid checking bags
altogether if you can. You
won’t have to wait for your
luggage on the conveyor belt
and you won’t have to wor-
ry about your things getting
lost.
• If you do check luggage,
make sure you have all your
medications,
important
documents and maybe even
a change of clothes in your
carry-on in case your lug-
gage does get lost.
Pack earplugs:
One of the best ways to
mentally escape your stress-
ful surroundings is to turn
down the volume. Th e eas-
iest way to do that is with
earplugs. If there is a crying
baby near you on the plane,
put in the earplugs. If the
music in the car is driving
you crazy, put in the ear-
plugs.

Ship gift s or give gift
cards:
TSA suggests shipping
wrapped gift s or waiting un-
til you reach your destina-
tion to wrap them because
they might have to unwrap
a present to inspect it. Ship
gift s ahead of time or buy
the gift that can’t go wrong:
gift cards to a favorite store.
Travel early or late in the
day:
Flight statistics show that
planes traveling earlier in
the day have a better on-
time perfor-mance. And if
your fl ight is canceled, you
will have the option of tak-
ing a fl ight later in the day.
Also, there will be fewer
lines at security. Best time
to hit the road? When ev-
eryone else is asleep — early
morning or late night.
You can always take a nap
when you arrive at your des-
tination or on the ride there
if you aren’t the driver. Also,
travel on off -peak days.
Remember to breathe:
Th e overly friendly per-
son on the plane, canceled
fl ights, the luggage that
fell off in the middle of the
highway, can be stressful.
But remember to relax and
breathe.
Th ese will make great sto-
ries to share when you fi nally
make it to your destination.
Aft er all, holiday travel stress
is just as much a tradition as
pumpkin pie and re-gift ing.
