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!

eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyeendvnwongo
Just exhausted...
Long day of work, sending out tons of emails and messages and texts about my last minute show TONIGHT at Union Hall in Brooklyn (8:30 pm)
Kinda freaked out because of the last minute, but I know I have some people coming, and there will be others there, new audience members etc. And I'm psyched to rock out with adam root, nick d'agostino, evgeny lebedev, and carras patton. yeehee!!!!
Had another dance rehearsal this evening with Shyrelle.
Met up with my good friend Bryan Jarrett.....He was on a ship for almost a year and I'm glad he's back in NY!
Also met a good teacher/mentor from Berklee, Janie Barnett. She is hopefully coming to my gig tonight since she lives in the neighborhood.....
Over and out!!!
