Helllllooooooo

Whoa, haven't been on here IN A MINUTE!!!


Life's been a little crazy but good -

Traveled out to Los Angeles again - did a private party in Beverly Hills for a friend of Beth Shaw, CEO of Yoga Fit, who has taken a liking to my music.

I also went to Palm Springs to her home there and did a showcase for her and invitees of my new management, KMP Artists.

I spent two days in San Diego with my friend Tori Roze, and did the open mic at Lestat's, as well as a featured spot at Train of Thought San Diego.

Back in LA, I did a show with Wesley Cole on bass and Julian Hogan on drums at M Bar in Hollywood.

Meanwhile, I took a bunch of dance class, and had some great writing sessions with songwriter friends Adam Tressler, Brooke Parrott, and Jill Krachmer.

Planning on moving to LA later this year or early next.

On the way back to the east coast, I stopped in Austin to visit a friend. First time there - what a lovely city - but sooo hot.... then I flew to Boston and spent 4th of July with my brother Jeremy, Bridget, and nephews Gus & Cal.

Now I'm back in NYC, getting some things poppin here - getting ready for my cousin Chris' wedding. I am providing the music along with bandmates Cara Scherker, Iakov Kremenskiy, Josh Giunta, and Brian Holtz.

AND I got approved for artist housing - $470/month for a studio apartment in midtown. So alot's going on, but all good stuff.

Stay tuned!

New Songs & Good Vibes

I thoroughly enjoyed my show last night at Bitter End!

Loved the band - Evgeny on synth, Carras on sax and flute, Josh on drums, Jordan on bass, and Nick on vocals.

Did some cover snippets of Fiona, Bjork,

new songs - "Love You Too Hard" and "My Freakin' Heart" -

Also loved our arrangement of "Seed" with me on keys, Nick harmonizing with me, flute, and synth pad.

Emily King came!!!! (Amazing artist who I've been going to see for a few years now)

Here are some pictures - one with Mindee Anoff and one with Ashton Parson, who both came to the show, and were very supportive.

SHOW EEEEEEHHHHHH AAAAAAHHHH

It's the day of the show ya'll

Rehearsal in the morning with Nick Boddington to go over background vocals.

Picking up my suit at work. (I hope it's there)

Session with the drummer Josh Giunta,

and then FULL BAND rehearsal in Brooklyn

Evgeny Lebedev - keys

Jordan Scannella - bass

Carras Paton - sax/flute

and then hitting the Bitter End for some music and good times!

It's been snowing and wintry mixing, but I hope people still come!

I'm nervous because I'm gonna attempt a new cover and 2 new songs aaaahhhhh

Do I even know the words?

As usual, I could flop big or nail it - 

Or somewhere in between

Either way I will have fun - I love music and I love performing!!! 

Yee-haw!!!!

Numbness in my face

I went to the dentist today and got a cavity filled.

They had to give me local anesthetic a couple times, because it was painful.

My face was soo numb for a few hours.

I went to see the late late set at Rockwood Music Hall (1 AM)

It was my bud Jordan Scannella, with Josh Giunta and Romain Collins

They sounded amazing!

Computer fixed!!

After much time and money spent, my computer has returned from the Apple store and is fixed!!

However, I lost my data!! AAGGGH, though much of my videos, music and photos were on my external hard drive, (and a lot of things are saved in my gmail)....

It's good to be back on this blog though. Since returning to New York after time at home, I hit the ground running, preparing for a VIDEO of "Suitcases" directed by Art Institute film student Joey Keenan. I think it will turn out great - got some awesome shots, and I was joined by the wonderful Joe Buffa who danced and helped with choreography.

I also had another great show at Bitter End last night - this one was a trio show with me on piano, Jordan on upright bass, and Josh Giunta on drums. I was also joined by Jessica Ferguson (an artist J-Harris is working with), who sang "If I Ain't Got You" and my friend from Boston Conservatory Trish LaRose, who sang a "Groove is in the Heart / Hey Mr. DJ" medley with me.

Show was so fun! Click here for a link to the blog where my girl Mindee Anoff posted some pictures and video.

Good to be back!
