Music Video Shoot in NYC

Last weekend I went up to NYC to shoot the music video for the title track off my new EP “On My Way.”  It was awesome- once we got in,  we spent a good bit of the evening Friday night discussing the shoot at a cozy nook in Brooklyn and had some organic grits and eggs, mmmmmm good.  Just the thing to eat the night before you’re shooting a music video, right?  It was getting pretty late- our production schedule written on the table in crayons (pictured below).

After much debate, we decided to wake up at 5am to begin shooting the taxi scene on the upper west side followed by some other scenes in the apt., etc.  Below are some pic’s from the shoot.

We’re filming the rest of the video in the next couple of weeks… I can’t wait till it’s finished!

Stay tuned for the new EP-  I’m releasing it next week at the 930 club in DC this Saturday night, July 10, and would love to see your faces.

iPhone Apps & Best Buy- you connect the dots

Hi Again-

It’s me, except this time I’ve got an iphone app and a new show playing live at Best Buy in NYC.  Two very interesting and awesome things… If you’ve been following me on my musical adventure for the past year-ish, then you know things just kind of seem to happen and appear out of the air for me (ok maybe you don’t see me pushing on the back end, but like any job you apply for- you send out a million cover letters and resumes and then among the rejections some people get back to you and have interest)- some random things that make me you go, wait, what are you doing?  How’d you land that?

The way I do it- is by having a lot of amazing friends and people that believe enough to hand me an opportunity and say “here- let’s see what you can do with this.”  So, in the past month we’ve seen me open for Marc Cohn (I was nervous as all hell- and it was one of my favorite shows so far- thank you Jon for booking this! xxxoo), fly to San Diego to play a showcase on a bill with Jason Mraz, Melissa Etheridge (etc.), release an iPhone App (Tim and Skip- you guys ARE the iPhone app, thank you- you’re amazing) and now I’ve got a show playing live at Best Buy (the Chelsea store – thank you Rob!) in NYC on April 8th from 5pm-6pm.

So…we’ve got quite a few dots laid out and I’m getting pretty close to connecting them, what do you guys make of it all?  I’m anxious to hear from you.

xxoo

Late night scrabble…and Japanese Radio.

It’s 2:22am and I can’t sleep- so I’m playing online scrabble and you know, it’s really fun.

Why can’t I sleep?  Because my mind is shooting off ideas like lazers about all the excitement and everything going on from being chosen to showcase my album in Boston to being picked to showcase in San Diego at the Sunset Sessions to “did I remember to pack my toothbrush?” for my flight to Manchester tomorrow… and just when I thought I had made a list of it all, I got an e-mail from a radio station called FM Tonami saying that my album was going to be broadcast over the air in JAPAN to over 200,000 listeners TOMORROW.  Sweet deal.

I spend so much of my time planning and making sure all the details are set for shows, and practice, and merch and this and that- mainly because I’m a control freak (some guys would call this- ‘being a woman’), but also because I want it all to be perfect and I don’t want to let anyone down-  that I sometimes forget to realize how lucky I am to have the opportunities to travel and play my music- and live my dream.  So… this year, in 2010- and really starting right now- I’m going to take a step back and take the time to  appreciate all of the wonderful people (like my family & friends & fans) that give me these opportunities and push me to keep with the momentum.  And by step back I mean the extra time I have between making sure everything is set for my European tour and showcases

And fyi, Teasa- is not a word.

November '09- Touring, Traveling, and Momentum.

Hello Hello!

It’s been a traveling month- a GREAT traveling month.   I’ve gone from the West coast to the East coast and I’m not slowing down- December brings me overseas to the UK…

I spent the first part of November with the band in LA at a music conference at the Westin Hotel (lovely place that Westin, and damn expensive even with the group discount!), visited my cousin who took me out to dinner in Venice at a happening spot called “Hals” (get the Tofu it’s how they say in Tokyo- Oishi!!- delicious)- hung out with my good friends Scott and Colin, met some inspirational people, and finished off the week with a full band gig at Molly Malones (thank you JT!) followed by In and Out Burger with the band courtesy of Scott.

Bryan (guitarist) and I flew out the very next morning to Washington, DC- Rock and Roll Hotel- to do an opening set for the beautiful Aussie artist Lenka and the talented Colin Smith – check out the video post of an acoustic version of Kaleidoscope World from Gloria (she’s adorable and I hope to see her out again soon!)

Since I’ve been back- working on songs for the new EP to be released in the Spring- you might get to hear some if you come out to a special All Ages Show on Dec. 5th @ 5pm at IOTA in Arlington, VA. If you’re in the DC area- and you’re like me around the holidays, you’ll be with your family. This is a great chance to bring out your younger cousins/sisters/brothers and meet me and the full band to hear some great live music- that is, before I head overseas to the UK for my next show on December 12th

Cheers- Happy Thanksgiving!

xxxoooo

FOX NEWS 5, Washington, DC, This Friday, Sept. 18th @ 8:30-10AM

Hey Everyone!

First off, today I used DOS for the first time in years. Yes, it’s ok- I’m a nerd, I’ll admit it. I also bought a sweet dinosaur t-shirt at Adams Morgan Day Festival after I played solo on this amazing stage – set to the backdrop of a gorgeous old church facade (pictures are up in the album if you wanna see!). And completed my weekend with a cappuccino from TRYST (oh and I bought a new black bag… )

Apart from me being a Geek, I’ve got some great news…

I’ll be performing with my full band (Rico, Bryan and Markus) on FOX 5 NEWS in Washington, DC @ 9:30am this FRIDAY the 18th!!! We’ll be playing songs from the new album – Kaleidoscope World, Perfect, In the City, Stayed and Before I Crash. Be sure to tune in at 9:30am for the full show! (Thank you Paul Wharton and Drew- I love you guys!!!!!)

And it gets better… “In the City” is one of the semi-finalist songs in the UK Songwriting Contest! Which means, out of 6,000 entries, “In the City” placed among the top 23%…

Other than that… it’s going to be a busy weekend. FOX 5 on Friday morning, followed by a Saturday excursion to Easton, MD for a show at the NIGHT CAT, and then I’ll be spending my Sunday at Princeton University opening for SYD.

Wish me luck!

Have a great week- followed by weekend Hope to catch you at the Night Cat on Saturday night!
