This was such a special show! It was wonderful to get to do a salon with both Esmé Thompson and Jennifer Stock. I find both of their work so inspiring! It was my first time performing with Jude Traxler, Megan Schubert, and Julianne Carney. And it was so great to get to perform with the amazing Mellissa Hughes once again. All in all, it was a beautiful experience.
It was so wonderful to work with Chad Kamenshine. He took some beautiful photos of me at an incredible space called Brooklyn Grain. Aga Choinska was a genius at doing hair and makeup. I had so much fun!
Looking forward to performing June 21st at the Carlsbad Music Festival’s Village Walk with Christine Tavares Mocha, Katie Campbell, Marc Gasway, and Lauren Elizabeth Baba.
I’m looking forward to being part of Ear to Mind’s First Annual New Music Forum this coming Saturday at Exapno New Music Community Center.
As part of a show at Issue Project Room last April called the Littoral Series, the wonderful electric guitar quartet Dither did an absolutely beautiful cover of my song Roar and Spit. The show relaunched Sara Wintz’s Pretty Panicks Press.
Check out Dither’s performance:
Songstresses from the Edge is a brand new project brought to you by Scarlet Tree Performances. Jody Redhage, Kamala Sankaram and I will soon be performing our songs at a venue near you! Our world premier will be happening on August 29, 2009 at the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn. We’ve just started booking shows on the west coast where we’ll be performing in October and November. I’m really excited about this project and particularly looking forward to my first tour! That’s right, I can’t wait for long hours in the car with a leg cramp and hunger pangs and all those sleepless nights in crappy hotel rooms. Ok, to be honest we know people in all the cities we’ll be visiting so probably won’t be staying in crappy hotel rooms. And I love road trips so can handle the leg cramps. But hunger pangs – no way! We will be stopping at Carl Junior’s for burgers and fries. In case you were worried about missing out on the details of our west coast tour…don’t be! Jody, Kamala and I will be writing all about it at the Scarlet Tree Blog.
I was very excited to be interviewed by the wonderful Molly Sheridan from the American Music Center’s New Music Box this past summer. Check out a clip from the Counterstream Radio show as well as a brief segment written about me by Molly Sheridan.
