About Me

Singer/songwriter Athena Galvin grew up in the moody town of Seattle, Washington, where she studied classical music and jazz throughout school. Influenced by all generes of music and all of the noises around her, she became an artist with an ear for the eclectic and resisted settling into any one catagory. Now based in the Bay Area, Athena collaborates on projects with musicians of all kinds from all over the globe in her continuous pursuit of new sounds.
Athena also loves animals. If you'd like to help out a great animal rescue group here's a fabulous idea:
Rattie Ratz is dedicated to educating the public on the TRUE and wonderful nature of pet rats, and serves as the Bay Area's primary rat-specific rescue group. They are a small organization with a big task, so donations and volunteers are gratefully accepted. I've gotten 3 wonderful ratties from this rescue in the past and lots of good tips about pet care, so I highly recommend it!
And if you'd like to help with the care of all kinds of rescue animals, click this button daily and their sponsors will make a donation to help feed a pet while it finds its forever home!

What you need to know before you add me...

A scenario developed in my world today, and although I'm fairly careful about who I add as a friend, I feel the need to say: If you are a supremacist of any kind Black, White, Asian, Latin, whatever ...

Ding!

I am a complicated girl (some also say lazy, but I prefer "pensive").  In order to learn and create things, I must ignore them.  Yeah, I know, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.  W...

My one and only public cause....

I love animals, so from time to time I'll send out a bulletin asking for help for animal issues.  It's a topic very close to my heart, so if you're bothered by the occasional bulletin...tough tit...

Gemini Days

It's Gemini season.  Being a Gemini, I always tend to reflect more on my two-sided peculiarities when twins-time rolls around.  I am a little package full of paradoxes, and I love all of the...
