Lucius

Caught a great set tonight from the talented Lucius -  Berklee colleagues Holly Laessig and Jessica Wolfe. They are so very talented and the band and sound they have built is incredible.

Bear City

Today, I went to a screening of the movie Bear City. My song, "Even So," was in the movie during one of the "love" (sex) scenes. LOL, it was a funny movie, I'll leave it at that.

I was joined by my friend Ryan James, and then we went to Rockwood Music Hall, to see Amy Crawford, and I caught a couple songs by Lucius as well before I left.

Pretty good night :-)

Updatessss

My blogger world:

This is the longest I've gone without writing a blog since I started, and I am sorry!!! eeek....

After my show last week I did a lot of sleeeping, and living life, and not blogging.

I did have a fun night on Friday going to Jordan Scannella's CD release show. He has played bass for me on 2 occasions. He does this white guy hip hop thing with some really clever/funny lyrics and SICK music & band. So proud of him!

Afterwards I headed out to BK to check out my girls Lucius at Sycamore. Though I missed their set, I got to hang out with them, Lucas Madrazzo, and some others. We went back to the famous Bromley House, where Jess & Holly (of Lucius) have lived for a couple years. It's an old music school, and they were the first tenants since it had finally closed a number of years ago. It has a rich history, and I loved hearing the stories.....There were definitely ghost stories!! And I was genuinely spooked. In other news, check out the music of Lucius. They are amazing!

Saturday and Sunday, I went out of town for 2 kids parties. The first was in Southampton, and was amazing. There were camel rides for the kids, and it had an arabian theme. Lavish. On the way back, we stopped at this random carnival for some rides and ice cream. HAHA..

                                 

The second was this lovely family who I have done many parties for. They have 3 beautiful girls and another little girl on the way!

Last night, I actually took the Long Island Rail Road out to this studio in...duh...Long Island, to record a song for this rapper. I did the vocals for the chorus & breakdown, and some ad libs. I think it actually came out great. They were all happy with it, and I was too, and excited to hear it! I will get a copy of the master and it will probably go on their mixtape. 

That's it for now.....over and out!!

I Can't Go On, I'll Go On

I got a bikram class in today. Ahh, I love Bikram, especially in the winter. When it's cold outside, it's so awesome to be in a really hot room sweating my face off.

I also had rehearsal today with Jason Rabinowitz. I'm currently playing keyboard/synth for his band, "The Bloodsugars."

We went on tour a couple weeks ago to Minneapolis, Madison, and Chicago, and in March, we will be going to South by Southwest. I'm excited, it'll be my first time going there! It's one of the biggest music festivals in the country.

And now, I'm watching "American Idol." I'm a little obsessed with the show right now, especially since it's during Hollywood week. I love watching all the auditions, and seeing the talent. You see the hunger & the dream in these kids.

Two of my friends, Jennifer Hirsh and Jess Wolfe of the group "Lucius", made it to Hollywood week. I am so proud of them. Jennifer sang "Ding dong the witch is dead," in her initial audition, and Jess sang "People get Ready." They sounded amazing. Jen performs original material with her awesome band in NY, and Jess is in "Lucius," a band fronted by herself and Holly Laessig, another friend and awesome singer. Check out their material!

Ok, back to Idol....
