Tonight I got to play at Living Room in NYC through my friend Todd's fundraiser for his dance company, Wobble Dance.
It was a great night of music. I played a solo set, and then afterward, checked out Adam Tressler & Astoria Blvd. at Rockwood Music Hall.

Googie's
Incredible lack of sleep today...but I have made it through....
Gig tonight at Googie's was cool. I had some people come out that it was really good to see. Adam Tressler who played before me was awesome. Such a talented songwriter. And Rebecca Muir, after me, was freakin' inspiring. Her voice is off the hook, and she did a couple blues tunes that blew my mind. She was accompanied by cello, bass and guitar.
My set was fun. I played piano and also my keyboard. Nick D'Agostino held it down on percussion, and I made the audience sing Waterfalls at the end. Some of my favorite moments were also performing "Rebel" and "Seed," which I've never performed live before. And I actually got the lyrics for both songs and I really enjoyed playing them.
Whee! Going to Adirondacks tomorrow. Have to get up at 5:45! AAAH!!!

Union Hall
I had a blast tonight (last night) at Union Hall in Brooklyn.
This show came together last minute, booked by Berklee friend/classmate Andrea Setaro.
I had so much fun playing with Carras Paton, Evgeny Lebedev (who both played at my release party) as well as Adam Root and Nick D'Agostino (who played for me before, but it's been awhile for both of them).
We had a quick rehearsal this afternoon and then headed over to the venue.
Union Hall is so freakin' cool. It's stately, lots of brown and earth-tones, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, a bocci ball court (what?), and a music venue in the basement. I was pleased with the turnout, the music sounded great, sold some CD's, met a lot of new people, and then had a really good time afterward hanging out with friends. Was sitting by the window for awhile with Nick, my friend Steve Hannigan (who has now been to three of my shows woop woop), Andrea, and Adam Tressler (an amazing guitarist from Berklee).
So grateful, and glad that I said yes to a last minute show despite my fears. It was totally worth it!
