Many moons ago I ran a t-shirt contest, and many people voted for their favorite design. Here is the winner! I will be ordering the shirts in the next few days. I’m very excited for their arrival!
Last Friday, I took a trip to Battery Studios, to pick up the mastered copies of my album from Vic Anesini, a SONY mastering engineer (two time Grammy nominee!) and longtime family friend.
Battery Studios are where the legendary Record Plant recording studios were located – the studios where John Lennon was recording on the day he died.
Anyway, here is Vic!
And here are my masters….
Now it’s on to getting the rest of the ducks in a row so that I can release the album in July. Album art, CD pressing, getting the Kickstarter rewards ordered and assembled, launching a pre-sale, releasing the single, publicizing, planning a CD release party, sending out the albums and rewards to my Kickstarter backers…
All good things!
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading! xo

Next Saturday, April 27th, I will be performing at the MOVE Music Festival in Albany, NY. The festival is in its second year and features 100+ bands at venues around Albany. Tickets are $15 for the whole event, from 4pm-4am. My set is 8-9pm at Blue 82, 80 N Pearl St, Albany, NY.
I’ll be joined by Craig Brinker, who has been playing keys with me in NYC, and was up for a trip to Albany (his first time in our fair capital city!) On bass, we will be joined by Bobby Kendall, a Troy-based player who comes highly recommended. We’ll drive up Saturday morning, have a practice session at Bobby’s apartment, and then head to the gig…
Hope to see you there! Get tickets at: http://www.movemusicfest.com

My first gig at the lovely Caffe Vivaldi was everything I had hoped for, and more. The turnout was so tremendous that seats were in short supply, the band was cohesive, and the audience was vibrant.
My friend and singer/songwriter conference co-organizer Sarah Elizabeth Foster was kind enough to video the evening on her iPhone. Here is the last song I performed, a cover of Pink Martini’s “Amado Mio.”

Last night, I brought my NYC musical journey to a new level by adding the talents of bassist Joseph Wallace and pianist Craig Brinker. It was standing room only at the Path Cafe, one of my favorite spots to perform and listen to live music. Here is a clip from the show, my song “Line in the Sand,” which will be on my upcoming album.
