9/23/2014

Fall has made her way to the NW all mixed up with sunshine, rain showers and changing leaves. I've been spending these last few weeks putting the final details together for my European tour and trying to fill up on extra squeezes from my little guy. It will be the longest time I have spent away from him and my heart already hurts. But, I also know I'm going to have a fantastic time performing so many beautiful places, seeing old friends and meeting new people.

As a small send off, I'm performing this Sunday at Hattie's Hat in Ballard as part of a songwriter showcase hosted by local artist, Kubby Casual. I'll be playing a short set of my songs with the Back Door Trio (Kubby Casual on drums, Sander Vinberg on upright bass and Paul Beaudry on mandolin). This is a free show and music starts at 8pm.

Then on October 6th, Rob, Dave and I board a plane and head to Europe for a full month of shows throughout Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. If you know anyone in these three countries, please forward our tour dates below. We are playing a lot of new cities this time around and it's always nice to meet fabulous people who know you fabulous people! I'll be posting photos and tour tidbits on my website, facebook, twitter and instagram pages so be sure to check in often.

I'm off to rehearsal and then extra hug and play time with Ryder. Thank you all for being here with me and thank you for letting me into your day for a few precious moments.
smooches!

Happy spring and tour dates in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands for fall

4/13/2014

0 Comments

Happy Spring! It seems that just a few days ago it was winter and now without even blinking here we are in spring! I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the sunshine as it starts to peek it's way out of the clouds and bring it's warmth to the day. I've been putting in a lot of Momma hours and when I'm not chasing after a newly walking 11 month old, I'm booking my Europe tour for October! I feel like I need some super-powered-multi-tasking-blasto-mega super hero to keep my head on straight. I have managed to only lock myself out of the house and my car once (fortunately with baby in my arms, not locked inside) and I've only forgotten to leave the house with non-essential clothing items (i.e. all my bits were covered) so overall I think I am doing pretty well in this new split role of Momma and Musician. And speaking of a European tour, Dave, Rob and I are so very excited to perform for all of you again. We are filling dates up fast, but we do have a few dates open that we would LOVE to fill with house concerts. If you are interested in hosting, please contact me and let's chat soon. They are so easy and such a wonderfully intimate way to hear and share music with your friends and family. And if you have a venue you would like us to perform in, please email me the name and I will contact them.

NOVEMBER PUDDLE STOMPING FUN

11/1/2012

0 Comments

The grey and the rain have made their way to the NW with fall blowing through faster than I can find my rain powered puddle stomping boots. I had a ball touring though the SW and will be celebrating my return here in Seattle with a homecoming show at Egan's in Ballard Friday, November 16th. For those of you here in town, you can hear first hand about some of my favorite highlights from the road as well as an announcement about a little side project I have been working on.

For those of you who can't come to the show or just want to hear first tales first, here are my highlights from this year's SW Fall Boots Tour. It includes some of the most wonderful house concerts I've had the honor of performing, a few of my favorite venues all throughout the SW, some new favorite spots and a long list of familiar faces that came to shows, put me up, fed me and showed me a whole lot of love. These photos are just a small sample of the tour with quite a few places left out due to my excitement to chat with folks and completely forgetting to take photos. I hope you enjoy....

First stop, Portland's Shaker and Vine where I got to play a cozy set opening for my friends, Willow and the Embers.

Willow and I post show. Me heading out on tour and Willow heading home from tour. My next stop was Roseburg, Oregon where the freeway was packed full U of O Duck fans heading to the game and entertaining me with their extravagant car decorations.

Amazing sunny and warm day in Laguna Beach where I got to spend the morning walking on the ocean. It's also where I saw the funniest sign on tour "Naked co-ed volleyball at 2pm today cancelled due to lack of balls." Bummer huh!

This year's house concert at the Page's in Bosque Farms, no gloves or winter coat required! Photo by Loch Page.

On the road heading out of Santa Fe, NM and saying goodbye to sage surrounded in blooms of purple and yellow.

New Mexico behind me, Arizona in front of me.....

Where the road is windy, curvy and downright beautiful!

Performing at Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles. It was an extra special night shared with my fellow friends and songwriters, Nicole Torres, Jill Cohn and Camille Bloom. Photo by Holly Smith.

I spent the morning checking out the boats in Alameda...

You can't see them, but the bay is FULL of sailboats and motor boats.

While I was crawling through town I did get to see Super Man on stilts.

4000 miles was quickly forgotten (sorry Oakland) I officially left California and entered Oregon.

Not officially home, but my tour is officially complete. Thank you everyone for such an amazing few weeks. See you all again soon!

Willow and the Embers in action. Their new album, Radio Sky, is beautiful and kept me sane during my long hours driving. Perfect for quiet windy roads under the stars.

Hit 1000 miles on I5 just before LA, had a glamourous meal in the Whole Foods parking lot before an amazing show at the Marine Room with Beth Fitchet Wood. I also got to stay with good friends Jolie and Devon. Their big dog welcomed me in the morning!

Officially leaving California and making my way to Arizona and crossed 2000 miles in Scottsdale. Arizona is full of tourist stops for meteorites, Montezuma's well, and beautiful cactus covered hills.

And post show caramel apples hand picked, hand dipped and even the sticks were hand crafted. And did I mentione there was homemade strawberry cheesecake? I had it for dinner and breakfast. Yummy!

Hey check it out, I'm still driving!

On my day off, I took the scenic drive from Flagstaff to Sedona through the Oak Creek Canyon...

3000 miles somewhere on I17 in somewhere Arizona.... I got caught in some crazy road work where I was held up for a few minutes until a truck could go by. I was given the go ahead by a large man who curtsied and then waved me through. Most definitely a first and had me smiling the rest of the day.

Back in the Bay area and homemade pancakes! Thank you Zara!

It was quite the weekend in the bay area with Fleet Week, America's Cup, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and the Giants games.

Crossing the Bay Bridge to San Francisco....

Another glamourous moment of a touring artist, cold mac and cheese in the car for pre-show dinner.

Opting for another out of the way, windy, curvy, mountain road I found this one that took me from Ashland to Bend.

Post tour memory.... I got to go to my very first pumpkin patch at a farm that had the biggest pigs I've seen since I was a kid. Not a bad way to wrap up a tour. Oink!

European Tour Part Drie, drei, trois

7/10/2012

2 Comments

What an amazing adventure! I can't even put to words the experience that Dave, Rob and I had over in Europe. We met so many wonderful people, saw so many familiar faces and had such an amazing time performing familiar and not so familiar venues. Here's the last of our tour and it is jam packed so grab a cup of coffee, tea, or a cocktail and settle in, we have a lot to share from this last adventure....

First stop on our double show day after driving six and a half hours the lovely 300 year old Tapperij de Zwaan in Heeze, NL.

A favorite spot to play in Eindhoven, De Groot and so many familiar faces, thank you folks!

Welcome to Sommerda!

It was also our first castle stop and the beginning of our ad

One of our two days off was spent in Haarlem catching up on coffee, laundry, sunshine and a big family dinner with my Dutch Mom and Dad, Paul, Yvonne and the fabulous Camille Bloom!

And the fabulous folks at Piano!

Next stop for our double show day was In De Brouwerij in Asten, NL with a few familiar faces and our most enthusiastic sing-a-longs.

On the road again back to where we just were in SE Germany. Beautiful country roads and a 7 mile tunnel.

More castle chasing....

900 year old Wartburg castle in Eisenach.

Spotted a castle from the road so castle chasers must investigate...

A small but incredibly amazing audience including two women who drove 300 miles to hear us & Rob's friend Sage who drove over 4 hours (one way) to see us. Thank you ladies and sweet Sage!!

Next and final stop in SE Germany,Weimar, the city of poets and of course a beautiful castle.

Morning breakfast at our favorite Pension and all it's tropical goodness. It was also the place of our first serenade which later became a trend...

Next stop Antwerp and one of my favorite venues, Crossroads, in their beautiful new space and lots of smiling faces!

We were all excited to check out the museum, but after making the journey cross town, we found it closed. Sad sigh.

To complete our day off, Paul took us to Jopen Brewery in Haarlem which is in an old church. We got to sample 14 beers and the bartender gave us the rundown on each of them. As you can see, the samples were not small and the beers were very very yummy!

We walked right up to the windmills which were HUGE!

Closing in on the end of our tour and it wouldn't be complete without a show in Amsterdam and a stop at the Int Aepjen (the monkey) one of the oldest bars in the city.

Hotel La Truite d'Argent where we had our final show in Belgium, a great audience and an after party that went until 3am. Our most eclectic audience made up of folks from Holland, Belgium, Germany and a couple from Nebraska. We said thank you and cheers in French, German, Dutch and English.

Sporting my new Dutch red boots with my Dutch Momma, Yvonne.

Smiling faces at Schorsch'l.

It was full of dolls, scary, old dolls...

The boys and I with our fabulous German booking agent, Willi! Thank you Willi! Such a cool space and our bartender Kermit was amazing! Thank you Londoner!

And gorgeous historical theater.

On to Weimar but first a stop at a castle we've driven by at least 3 times. It was off the beaten path, but well worth it.

Post show with Suzy and Jan getting the lowdown on the best Belgian beers and where to find the best Belgian chocolate.

But we did get sunshine and a photo in front of a canal.

Market day in south Haarlem for cheese to take home. We also drove to see the North Sea and the windmills that are on a platform out in the ocean. Too windy to hang out for long, but it was really pretty. To complete the day, we performed at the Cultuurhuis. A beautiful theater space in Heerlen, NL. A fabulous day!

And then to Koln to see the cathedral. You can wander around all around. Another day of sun and today is Assention day as well as father's day so there are herds of tourists and herds of men who are pub hopping some wear matching clothes or hats for their group.

Fans old and new at the student run cafe in Amsterdam, SKEK, which has amazing food and fabulous drinks.

Our fabulous hosts, Henja and Bob. If you every find your way to Belgium and want to stay at an amazing place, please stop in, they are wonderful!

Officially heading home and wishing we had more than a layover in Iceland.

And of course we must visit the Bach Museum that showcased various instruments he played including a violin trumpet. Yes both a violin and a trumpet. Cool!

Bye bye Gotha!

Another fine night, thank you Beatcorner!

1000 years old mostly in ruins, but really really cool and from the top of the tower you could see the other 2 castles on hills surrounding. There was also ruins on the castle grounds of roman pillar remains.

Our second and final day off this tour was a sunny day in Antwerp! First stop De Kathedral which was jam packed full of tourists from a cruise ship and our first experience of hearing English accents all over the place.

And Dave found a yacht named after him.

Back to Germany for our final show in Linnich in a tiny tiny little village surrounded by windmills and yellow flowers. Special thanks to our friends from Kult+Genuss who made the trip to come see us again.

That's right, CCLL on tour!

Late lunch in a pub where we had a neighboring table of older Father's singing songs whenever they got a round of drinks. Then a group of women came in and songs were exchanged back and forth between the two groups. We were serenaded as we left the pub. Best serenade of the tour!

Final road trip through amazing farmlands to the French part of Belgium and the beautiful town of Houffalize.

And our final show of the tour at De Waag in the city where it all began, in Haarlem. Words can't describe how wonderful this final show was. Thank you all so much!

Next time, Reykjavík!

Beautiful countryside while on a walk before my show at Cafe Trianon in Nijemegen, NL.

The audience at Cafe Trianon saying hello!

The fabulous audience at Crossroads Radio Sessions in Bergen op Zoom, NL.

More countryside driving but now in Germany!

A sparkly happy New Year to you!

We made it! 2011 is over and done already starting to collect cobwebs and dust bunnies and drift back into the dark corners of our memories. 2012 is here all sparkly and vibrant still smelling of things exciting, fresh and utterly new! I'm so very excited for what this New Year holds and so happy to have you all here on this musical journey with me! I think this is the year to dance more often, sing at the top of your lungs (even if just in your shower) and let those close to you know how deliciously important they are to your being. Before I dance away singing songs and spouting words of love and admiration, here is a small glimpse into what can be expected in this first month of our sparkly new 2012...

The tail of 2011
Friday, January 6th at Crossroads in Bellevue, WA

The head of 2012

The tail end of 2011
We made a couple top 10 lists for 2011, which I think, is a pretty exciting way to end the year. Have a peek and see where we landed...

Friday, January 6th at Crossroads in Bellevue, WA
For all you folks on the east side, I'll be performing with Dave and Rob at Crossroads from 7pm to 9:30pm. This show is all ages and absolutely free. Dancing is encouraged and singing along is always a fabulous way to our hearts!
Crossroads Bellevue: 156th Avenue NE & NE 8th Street (Market Stage), Bellevue, WA

Between the Bed Sheets & Turpentine now at Sonic Boom in Ballard, WA
Check it! Between the Bed Sheets & Turpentine is now available at Sonic Boom in Ballard! More stores coming soon in Capitol Hill and Bellevue. Have a favorite music store you like to frequent and wish you could buy our CD local? Let me know where and I'll make it so!
Sonic Boom Ballard: 2209 NW Market Street, Seattle, WA

The head of 2012
I'm sticking close to home for the next few months for shows in and around the state of Washington, but I will be doing a little bit of traveling in March to OREGON which I will announce just as soon as I am able. And for your folks overseas in EUROPE our spring tour is getting rather full of fabulous shows in venues all over Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. I'll announce dates in the next couple months.

And with that I thank you all so so so much for being here and for being so so so fabulously and deliciously important to me and my being. I'm off to summon my biggest and loudest singing voice followed by some serious dance moves (probably something pogo like from the 80's cause I hear the 80's are making a come back). Thank you for reading to the end, thank you for being on this list and thank you for being such an amazing source of inspiration to me. I feel so very lucky to have such wonderful people to share this musical journey with.

Happy sparkly New Year!
