Nov 25, 2009. A call for space! Photographer, Gregory Bartlett and I are doing a collaborative tour this January in California. It's called, Stranger's Story: An Intimate night of pictures and songs. We need your help! We're looking for intimate spaces- galleries, cafes, and livingrooms to perform our one night touring art/music show. check it out at: www.gregorybartlett.net/strangersstory.html

april 20, 2009. oh, its been too long. last time, i believe, was before the west coast tour with mya elaine which was a true adventure. actually, it was rather relaxing. we started in bellingham wa and made our way down, down the coast to san diego (really, the whole coast!) and then back up to sf. we had many a fun show playing with beautiful musicians, meeting wonderful audience members, and drooling over one hell of a bucolic coast with its rolling, green, post-rainy season hills speckled with grazing cows. we spent many an afternoon on the beach too (I love how the sand serves as a public nap space) resting up in the sun before a show. some of our favorite concerts were in living rooms (we love house concerts!) where we shared a meal, music and good company in an intimate setting (hint hint- invite me over to your house and Ill play for you and your friends in your own home).

nov 2, 2008. day 13 of tour: sitting in a panera bread after driving around for an hour trying to find a local coffeeshop with wireless interent. nope. they don't seem to exist here in johnson city, tennessee. a bit refreshing after the inundation of the coffeeshop across america. i don't drink coffee regularly but i do surf all too often and, it seems, have grown dependent on the free radio waves that allow me to googlemap where i'm going next and check my email. that is, until this morning when i realized they are not something one should take for granted. so far, so good. good shows, good people, good cd sales. highlights include: watching 2 people get arrested at the border when coming from Canada into the US, losing my debit card in Toronto and then discovering the person who found it likes to shop at Home Depot and Shopper's Drug Store, chasing roaches out of hotel rooms, and snow in West Virginia. I have a couple days off tomorrow and am going to Charlotte to hear Barack Obama speak and to get out the vote!

september 23, 2008. CD RELEASE COMING SOON!! Im very excited to be announcing my sophomore release, Stranger's Story, to be out and in your hands by mid-October. I spent the summer months (sadly, inside far too much) in a little home studio recording, editing, mixing and producing this new record. I can't deny it, it's a melancholy one- heavy lyrically and with a long, plaintive yet playful sound. But in all honesty, thematically it feels to me like a move away from heart break (really, Im quite happy these days!) and into understanding the stories of other peoples lives. You'll find a minimal sound, the way you might hear me should you venture out and into your local listening room on an autumn night- with acoustic guitar in hand, swapping with a ukulele, and then some xylophone, fiddle and kazoo on top. Nothing more, nothing less. To celebrate, Ill be venturing out on an Autumn tour through parts of New England, the Mid-West, and South. Tour dates will be announced soon. In the meantime, I'd love all the help I can get. If you know of a venue you'd like to see me perform at, would like to host a house concert, or know of someone who would, let me know!
