News and Happenings

This month has been an exciting combination of firsts. My first show at 7West Bistro in Towson, and my first official video recordings. I recorded at Ty Ford studios, simply renditions of some recent songs to keep a flow, and new material online, despite not having the funding to produce a CD right now. (Eventually will come some day!)

I've also been really, really enjoying playing at a new piano bar in Canton, Baltimore, which has a grand piano, and a wonderful vibe, as well as clientele.

I hope to see you at a show soon!

The song 'Hot Potato' used in a short film

I met Daki online through a screenwriters website that linked composers and songwriters with producers looking for music for their films. We hooked up and she immediately gravited toward the song 'Hot Potato', and used it in her first Indie Film. It's the perfect match for the scene. Check it out!

Christmas Eve at Joe Squared

I wasn't sure who would show up on a cold New Year's Eve, but in fact, some friends and fans showed up, and the small crowd didn't mind that I dug out some Christmas Carols. It turned out actually, that the book I had found in my Grandfather's antique file drawer cabinet was his, published in 1935. I love starting songs with a verse, then doing several rounds of piano only, mixing up the mood from pensive to intense, then bringing in a few more verses.

I think it went over well, and I also played some of my covers, and originals. The hot toddy that they gave me from the bar helped my scratchy throat, and of course, I finished the night with some delicious risotto.

Great gig at the Whistling Oyster on Friday

I played with Missy Smith (aka Queen Earth) and Brooks Long, who stayed for the later set. Great crowd, lots of beautiful music. This is a new spot for me; the next date on November 19th. I'm really looking forward to it; hoping to bring in another singer-songwriter to share the evening. Good food (I had delicious potato leek soup, and asparagus), and a nice selection of drinks. It's a quaint bar, with a wood-burning fireplace in the dining room, right on the square, and always has a decent crowd of music-loving, mellow folks, out for a good time.

Terra Cafe Artist Hang Spot Monday Nights

Love the new artist/musician hang out spot on Mondays at Terra Cafe in Charles Village. It's a warm vibe with Jahiti from Brown Fish, and great food. Bring a guitar, piano, or your voice....
