Last night I sang to Paul Trudeau's new piano track on "Build it Again."  This song is my current favorite.  It's different than anything I've written before.  It took me a little while to feel comfortable with such an open…

I'm realizing it can be hard to stick to a recording schedule in the winter, when colds are taking my voice out of commission every few weeks.  I thought I was all better, and then last week, woke up with…

I just got back from a quick but inspiring trip up to northern California to visit my family's farm and all of the lovely creatures that live there.  I somehow managed to hit the most beautiful, sunny day to be…

Yesterday we went out to my friend, Kiki Ebsen's home studio and recorded Paul Trudeau playing her beautiful grand piano.  We're putting down a new song called "Build it Again," that I'm really excited about.  Paul and I wrote it…

Camille, Maria, Dax, Sherry, John, Dolna, Dennis, and Pamela.  You guys rock!!! 

Thanks to you, we've raised $425 in just four days.  This money is going right to the incredible musicians that play on my CD.

And as soon as…

Wow!  Dave did SUCH an amazing job on "Harbor." Mark is blasting it upstairs as he edits it all a bit.  A real drummer always changes the feel of everything (for the better, of course!), so he has to replace…

I feel so lucky to have such amazingly supportive fans.  In 2 days, we've received $250 to go toward the recording of the new CD.  That is awesome!  At this rate, we'll have it done in no time! 

Today, Mark…

I have been getting such sweet emails from people about my new CD, and I'm excited to report that the recording has begun! We're in the early stages.  Mark is mapping out the drum parts and setting up tracks for…
