The Boo Stew: News & Notes from The House of Bousquet
Summer has arrived
Spring of ‘26 @ Bousquet East
5/25/26
Good day, friends.
Sharon here. I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day holiday. I seem to find it hard to stop working for even a day... not a good system. This being my final computer work thing for the day, I'll be brief and bring some fun offerings for your consideration. May has been an absolute whirlwind of anticipated events and new work. May that continue through the second half of 2026. Can you believe it's almost JUNE?!?
The Sugar Maples: Erin, Sharon & Sky played our last known show in Dover last month. Life has expanded to embrace many good things, but includes the end of a very fine run of private concerts and listening room shows as TSM. I will miss these wonderful women, the strong vocal harmonies and strings - a special blend that we created and shared with you all for the last almost-three years. Fans of The Sugar Maples, please note that all three of us (Erin Magnin, Skyler Cumbia & Sharon Bousquet) continue our musical adventures both in Delaware and beyond. You can find us on most socials and at our main links here:

JANUARY/FEBRUARY MINING FOR GOLD
THE New year is here, and so is the boo stew: news & notes from the house of bousquet. welcome! first on the docket? these rambling thoughts to consider:
do you do the resolution thing? the new diet/gym membership/pledge allegience to your one sacred self thing? i follow my body toward more health, more happiness, more energy and creative time. i follow my mind down rabbit holes and buy yet another supplement or device in the hope that this time i will be led to the hoarded gold: excellent health. mitochondrial exuberance! deep, uninterrupted sleep! just some sustainable, natural energy without the need for a drug.
caffeine is mine. what about you?
add/adhd is a bitch with my functionality like reins between her teeth. she shakes her head yes, and i'm suddenly watching a bird fly by or a jewel bug scuttling along the pavement's edge. she shakes her head no, and i am whipped around from vacuuming the music room to dinner on the stove to a remembered appointment i need to keep. sometimes none of these things get done as my scrolling to do list laughs at me. it's a trade off: creativity for miles or time management skills?
i always have music, i am grateful that art also calls me, but uses an old nickname in a whisper from the drawing table in the corner of the bedroom. and the new publishing gig, Sharon arden books, shouts that she wants to bloom and grow forever, so i waffle, i pancake, until i just create something new. and that, my friends is my magic sauce. just make something.

new music is coming soon!
What’s New for 2026?
2026 is around the corner. sharon's new publishing business (Sharon Arden Books, on amazon.com) will continue to be front and center as will more solo and duo bookings in the tri-state region. THE SUGAR MAPLES WILL BE ON HIATUS FOR MUCH OF THE YEAR AS LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING CLAIMS A STAKE ON OUR TIME. a few tours are in the works FOR SHARON AND FOR ERIN'S BAND THE HONEY BADGERS. SKYLER IS WORKING MORE THAN EVER AS HER MUSICAL HORIZONS AND THE NUMBER OF MUSICIANS CLAMORING FOR HER TALENTS INCREASE. HERE IN THE HOUSE OF BOUSQUET, we are excited to continue creating inspiring, open-hearted and beautiful art and music to uplift YOU. An early happy new year to US ALL. <3
