A request to please leave your pets at home today if you're planning on coming over. It's too hot and there would be way too many dogs. I'm sorry because I love all the pups so much but I can only do so much. ❣

Going to the New Iron Horse tonight to see the amazing Betty LaVette! I am thrilled!

Bettye LaVette is a true legend with a musical career spanning more than 60 years, she is now rightly recognized as one of the finest vocalists and one of the great interpreters of song. Her discography spans five decades, but it is within the past decade that she has finally been recognized as one....

Seriously one of the best musical days I have in years. Doing a solo singer songwriter in the round is one of the hardest things for me with my hands in the shape they're in but I did it. The audience was amazing the other singer songwriters were incredible and all in all it was one of the best musical times ever! Thank you to A.J. Kiernan for booking me and David Herrera for the amazing sound. Thank you to Lost Towns Brewing for being a most supportive place for original music and great brew! Thank you to the complete audience for being so respectful and loving. You have renewed my belief in hand made music!! A special thank you to the other 3 women singer songwriters Serena May Smith, Valerie Newman Music and Cara, who I had the honor of sharing this event with. You all made a mark in my heart!
