Send us a textAndrew Sturtz has written songs for over twenty years, releasing projects but never focusing on touring those projects. He's lived in Boulder for nearly a decade, and through playing open mics and other events in the town, he met people who have since become close musical and personal companions.Now, Sturtz has christened a group with his last name, a quartet that includes himself on guitar, Courtlyn Carpenter on cello, Will Kuepper on bass, and Jim Herlihy on banjo. All four provide vocals, with Sturtz providing lead vocals.The band spent a month coming up with their name, even creating a spreadsheet including dozens of potential band names (including Slow Drive, Alcove, Topiary, and Incongruity). However, the group eventually realized that Sturtz served as a perfect name for the group, which focuses on new arrangements of the namesake's original material.

An award-winning childhood grief expert shares clinically-informed advice for supporting kids and teens through difficult times--from family deaths and lost pets to unexpected moves, and beyond. A necessary and impactful guide to understanding children's grief from the inside and to guiding children through loss, from the death of a parent and other family members, to the loss of friends, pets, and even the family home. Dr. Masur, an award-winning clinical psychologist specializing in grief and mourning, describes how to understand, help, and guide children at each age and stage of development and uses her own childhood experience with loss through empathetic yet clinically informed advice. When Dr. Masur was fourteen years old, her father died. Like most children and teens facing loss, Masur didn't know how to handle her grief, and she was never encouraged to acknowledge or share what she was feeling with her family, teachers, or friends. Her experience of shock and emotional paralysis around her loss is what led her to become an expert in childhood grief in order to help grieving children and to help others to support the children in their lives who have experienced loss. As a psychologist and child psychoanalyst, Dr. Masur has helped many children recognize and express their feelings after loss. In How Children Grieve: What Adults Miss, and What They Can Do to Help (Alcove Press, 2024), Masur shares her expertise with caregivers of all kinds, giving them the tools they need to help a child or teenager mourn, move forward, and make meaning of terrible loss. Prior to a high school teaching career, Judith Tanen worked in the visual arts field. Still, her educational pursuits have been driven by a passion for language in its varied forms, specifically, communication, intersubjectivity and the hidden worlds inside our minds. These interests prompted this current pursuit: travelling into the psyche and gaining insight into the complicated, inexplicable and always enlightening ways of living and making sense of experience -- indeed, life itself.
