Mike’s aunt (in New Jersey) fed us entirely too much.
Yay for friends in NYC – Regan and I smile pretty in Union Square.

Here are a couple more, as promised, from James Crafford.
The first couple were kind of impromptu, before the show, and the last is a ‘live’ shot. -

I was extra hyped up about this NYC show, I think, and admittedly a bit nervous, because 6 pm is such an early time to play (no such thing as a 6 pm show in LA!) that I wasn’t sure anyone would make it. Rockwood Music Hall is known to be a very hip venue these days, and I always find hip intimidating. But Ken was very welcoming and the space itself is really lovely and warm(figuratively – though it’s always warm onstage!). It’s tiny and a really charming mix of brick, wood and windows, there’s great sound (again – go Ken), and a stage takes up a chunk of the room, with tables oriented towards it in a clear emphasis of what the room is about – music. Some of the tables are so close to the stage you can, as the performer, set your glass of water on the table and just reach down and grab it when you need. All of that seems to encourage people to be very, very quiet. This is definitely the first true ‘listening room’ that we’ve played on the trip, and it was jarring at first to have people indeed really listening to all your lyrics. But then, of course, that’s exactly what a songwriter really wants! It was great. Read the rest of this entry »

Oh, so first off, I forgot to mention, in my last blog, Matt Jones – he performed after us at Rockwood and completely rocked it with his band. He’s very soulful and is a very nice guy to boot, so check out his music.
There were actually a few people photographing the show yesterday, which was pretty funny – with all the clicking at the beginning in particular, I felt that it was a high-profile media event rather than our lil’ show…
I’ll share all of them eventually, but for now, a few courtesy of Adam Jason Photography:
Love this one!

Today is Shakespeare’s birthday, and in his honor I’ve composed a sonnet AND written a stunning play about treachery, love, and many other timeless themes…
Ha, just kidding. I just realized that today’s the day, but I couldn’t have been less creative or productive today. Mike and I drove all day and then got into New Jersey, where we’re staying, on Monday night somewhat late. His aunt fed us well and then we got up the next morning and met a friend in the city, in the area she describes as ‘north Gramercy’ (she could call it anything, what do I know?). It was a lovely day, a lovely lunch, a lovely time just catching up. It was such a spring-y day, and we went through enough wintry weather on our way out here that I felt I could enjoy it along with the New Yorkers, even though we should be used to sun. This friend enjoys what I enjoy – walking and talking, eating, drinking a coffee – nice, laid-back fun. Read the rest of this entry »
