Tee-häs!

It’s been 15 straight days of cowboy boots. …at least it was…I wrote this blog last month. I’m just terrible at posting them. (cont.) They’re the only shoes I brought on this tour – and I figured the most appropriate, given 9 days of the tour took me all over Texas. I was so ready [...]

Reflections of ! The way life use to beeeee

It’s so bizarre to not be on the road! I’ve been in the same time zone for 2 weeks straight! The local barristo/as are starting to give me that knowing look: “You’re going to order a mocha.” I keep feeling like I should get a job! And then I remember, oh yeah – I have [...]

Seattle Follow-up!

Seattle Follow-up!

So here are a couple of souvenirs from that lovely concert at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle.  First a video of my last couple minutes of my set (thanks Naterizzle!). And second, a photo of Steve Poltz cracking me up, as he always does.  

Happily Sleepless in Seattle

Happily Sleepless in Seattle

This isn’t a vent, it’s joyful verbal combustion! I feel the need to spurt out the details of last night that are still spinning in my head! My brain was a buzz all night and I’m still bouncing this morning! I don’t spend enough time on this blog, I know. I wish I relayed more [...]

How to make me cry…

How to make me cry…

… in a good way. Being a musician, especially an indie musician, is simultaneously elating and frustrating. I know it’s a gift to get to do what I love, and I’m reminded of that every day – either I remind myself, or more often it comes from other sources: fantastic audiences, beautiful concerts, exciting places, [...]

An Ode to the Zip Code!!!

An Ode to the Zip Code!!!

I have a HOME, an apartment, a residence, a ZIP CODE!!!!  10034     … all very significant because for 4 years, 3 months and 12 days – I did not have a home.  “Perma-tour” I called it.  Sure there were mini stints here and there: a couple musicals, a few weeks with my parents [...]

“A Five Star Performance . . . “

I really need to post a blog about the amazing and amazingly busy last three months of touring, but in the meantime I’m floored by this recent review.  It’s so kind.  Way beyond kind.  Makes me cry a little.  Playing Rams Head in Annapolis has been a goal of mine for a while, so a [...]
