Forever and a Day

Heyyyyyyyyyy...

Yeesh, it's been a super long time since I updated this blog.  Rather than jumping back in the game out of nowhere with several little posts,  I wanted to do a big 'ol update, with lots of little doo-dads and odds n' ends from my lyfe.  Plus a style post, natch (hard to come by these days!  Super cold + other life stuffs getting in the way.... )

My music in an indie film!!

Friends! I have some really cool news today :)

One huge goal of mine has been to have my music placed in movies/ TV/ commercials. So I'm happy to say that some of my songs made it into a really amazing independent film called The Worst Year of My Life!! The film is still currently in post-production, so it's not out yet. BUT they've got a Kickstarter going right now to fund the last bits of post-production expenses! My song "Don't Wanna Wait" is very prominently featured in the trailer (which you will see if you watch the video), and I couldn't be happier!!

Go check it out & donate if you are feeling generous... there's only a few more days to go!





Eeeek, so excited!! Hope you're having a great day!

Baltimore show

We have to go back in time a bit in order to remember this moment. I played a show in Maryland back in August... yes, these pictures are from August! I just hadn't gotten around to making a post about it.

Anyway, I'm always saying how I want to play more shows, so I actually booked one a few months back at the Pure Wine Cafe in Baltimore. It was a lovely time. I was lucky enough to see my awesome friend Jessica, who kindly let me stay at her apartment (see above photos!), and ran my merch stand for me! Whatta gal.




I played in-the-round-style with another wonderful singer/songwriter, Teporah... who it turns out, we used to chat with each other about music all the way back in the age of Myspace! We thought it was really cool that we already "knew" each other, and had a great time playing together. But wait, the synchronicity doesn't end there...




I also got to meet another blogger who I've been friendly with since I started ChantillySongs... Mary from Uncustomary! She saw me tweet about the show, and came out! I was so excited to meet her, and she is a super sweetheart.




It was really a whirlwind... I ended up having to wake up at 6am the following morning in order to make it all the way up to Maine in the exact same day. The show was lovely, but that day... that was not my favorite day :P More on Maine later...


Anyway... yayyy!!

Video from CD Release

Happy weekend! Did you guys have a nice time sleeping in today? I sure did.

I wanted to share these videos with you. They're about a year late. When I had my CD release party last June, I told you that there was video, and that it would be "coming soon." It never came :( But by some miracle, we finally uploaded a couple of the videos last week. For those of you curious as to how I look/ act outside of a photo, or have wondered what I sound like performing, here ya go!

This concert took place at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn. The first song is me performing a cover of Tom Petty's "Won't back Down" on ukulele. The second is my song "Just the Way You Are." My friends Alyson, Michelle, and Tamar are my background singers, and friend Owen is on the bass. The video was shot and edited by Matthew Panton.

Hope you enjoy!! Have a great rest of the weekend :) xx
