So, housekeeping first: I’m in the process of moving my mailing list over to ReverbNation. If you’d like to sign up, just click here.
Second, I’m in a little section of the most recent episode of the AfterEllen.com show, “Cat on the Prowl.” The show features Haviland Stillwell, and I’m currently working with her a lot (this is easy, because we are kind of like new west coast bffs). For one thing, I wrote a song that she’ll be performing at her show on April 23 at the Upright Cabaret . So we gave a little preview of the song – I show up midway through the episode, then again at the end, but you should REALLY make sure that you see the part where Haviland plays basketball in heels. Priceless. Check it out here.

I’ve been a very quiet blogger as of late (shame on me, I know), but I have not quiet musically, thank goodness. Here are just a couple things I’ve been up to:
Mike and I continue to work with Tim Young, uber-guitarist (not to mention uber-writer and producer) to demo songs for an upcoming album that we hope to record late Spring/early Summer. Without revealing too much, I can certainly say that I’m really excited about the direction that the album is taking! I’ve got a new show coming up at a great new venue, Cafe Muse, on April 10. I hope to unveil a few of these new songs then. The venue is so laid-back, and shows are always FREE – which should in itself be music to everyone’s recession-worn ears. I’ve been talking to the amazing Gaby Moreno about performing, and just to bring the lovely/talented lady quotient to crazy heights, Haviland Stillwell will likely also make an appearance…
…which brings me to the final new development in my musical life. I’ve written a song for Haviland that she’ll be performing (probably with me providing some guitar and/or backup vocals) on April 23 at the Upright Cabaret. It’s been a really great challenge to bring her experiences to life and write a song that she can really make her own. I can’t wait to hear Ms. Stillwell herself perform it! Her concert is shaping up to be an amazingly fun, eclectic evening, and I can’t wait for it, myself. Stay tuned…
