Rae Covey's song cycle, Where We Are, is inspired by a collection of maps curated by the Hand Drawn Map Association. Full of humor and heartbreak, the piece spans the physical and psychological terrain of characters caught, in some way, between Point A and Point B. Where We Are was performed in concert at Joe's Pub earlier this year. You can learn more about the project at raecovey.com.
