NY Summer
Hi my lovelies! I’m sitting here at one of the many NY Starbucks escaping the humidity and lack of wi-fi at my grandma’s. There’s some nice, chill music playing and the ever present aroma of coffee (which always smells better than it tastes). I’m catching up on all things Facebook, YouTube and social networks in general. I’ve also recently discovered music blogs as a fun way to spend time learning, finding new music, etc. Tomorrow I’m heading out to Watermill to visit some family and then back to the city for more meetings, songwriting sessions, etc. I can’t wait for …

I Got Dermals!
Hey everybody! It’s been a while but I’m back and will be writing again more regularly, cause honestly, I’ve missed you! I had a great show last Sat at Gasoline Alley (love playing there) and there was an awesome energy in the room. Thanks to everyone who came out for that! I’ve been working on making lists on Facebook so that I’m only sending show invites to people in the right parts of the world instead of just sending them to everyone. I recently recorded a verse and some harmonies and ad libs on a song with my friends’ band, …

Hey everybody! So, yes, I have new musicians that totally ROCK! I have the same bassist (because he’s awesome), Forrest Conner, and the same lead guitarist, James Makan (also awesome) and I got a new drummer, Dylan Chee-A-Tow, new keyboardist, Jens Sweeting, and a new, temp rhythm guitarist, Alana Hallquist. They picked up the songs quickly and are all a pleasure to work with! We played our first show last Sat with great feedback so I’m super happy! Now I’m singing on a cruise ship in the Caribbean for three weeks and then back home to do more shows! I’ll …

Optimism
I like to look at the glass as half full. Why? Why not?! If you live your life looking at all the possibilities, you leave yourself open for adventure and solutions rather than depression and problems. And that simply sounds better to me! Life is filled with hardships but it’s also filled with love, beauty, friendship, color, music, laughter, good movies, road trips, snow, sunshine, orange juice and puppies! I mean really, is that so bad? Whenever something hard comes your way, give it good cry and then pull yourself up, look to the future and do something about it. …
