Had the cd release at guthries in lewiston and some surprise guests came, micah and drew (to add to deacon and i).  the place was packed, not sure how much i had to do with it cuz guthries has a huge draw in this city, but most everybody i knew was there and i was lucky enough to have sherie and myles join me on a song or two.  drew, from auburn did a supurb job on his hand-made (that he made himself) guitar.  what a great storyteller and he played this fucking cute song about a girl he had been in love with since he was 8 :)  micah, who i guess just got off a tour from eastern europe was there and i felt pretty honored that he came out.  i've had his cd for a while and am a lot of respect for his music and his other projects (the band big blood!).  he played the 12 string, clawhammer style.....i was truely inspired and mesmorized and possibly a little star struck (in a  sense).  deacon was, as always, fiery and spectacular.  the words and images that flow out of him amaze me and inspire me to write more poetry.  it just seems like he can grab all of life and spit it out in a poem and the poem is about everything. i could listen to him several times a week and still learn something new.  thank you all for coming out.  it was a dreamy evening.

the follow up show from the bangarang was a more intimate crowd huddled up together on couches and floors in the living room.  rose, ethan, deacon, and i played by passing the guitar around.  i wish i was more able to articulate how much i am moved by ethan's music, but i seem to awkwardly fail everytime.  maybe someday he'll know :)  rose was cute as ever and left a pretty catchy new song he wrote in my head, "shivers".

the new cdwill be available soon at bullmoose music and the ronj in lewiston and cdbaby and other online locations in the next week or too.  for  now you can get it at guthries, by request, or at any shows i play.  the next show is feb. 21st in  lewiston

Lots to Garden's Soup & Music Night (aka Alive in Lewiston) was a huge success and we  hope to do it next year.  We had 3 homemade, homegrown soups from our gardens a nd cooking clubs.  We had bread & cheese from Nezinscot Farm and  Italian Bakery.  Apple Cider from Willowpond farm.  The music was magical, the company inspiring.  Definitely a needed event here in Lewiston.  Hopefully, I'll have some pictures soon.  Most of the ones we took were blurry :(

Show on Saturday 10/20 with Betsy Mattox @ 7pm.  Located at She Doesn't Like Guthries in Lewiston, ME.  I'll be giving out a two song sampler of the new album I've been workin on the past 2 weeks in Indiana.  My goal was to finish it, but time did not allow me to be as creatively thorough as I would have liked.  Soooo.......the project will continue when I return to Indiana in December.  In the meantime, I too excited just to sit on it soo that's way i'm handing out the sneak peak discs.  Please come out if you can.  Guthries is a very awesome joint.

1. Check out this short film/ music video made by Craig Saddlemire and Ryan Conrad of Roundpoint Movies and Maine Video Activist Network.  It features my song "Moth" from "Heartbeat Balloon" and Ryan and I got to be movie stars.  It was filmed in an old abandoned mill in Lewiston, ME.  This film was submitted to the Portland Phoenix Independent Music Festival and we're waiting for the results.

Here is the link to the video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=escqBlZpA3w

2.  Last night I had my housewarming party and house show and a whole slew of folks came and played.  We had Adhamh Roland, Rose, Ethan Miller, Katie B., Mike Herman, Sky, Paulino, Sonia, and myself.  It was pretty much amazing.  I'm in awe of those mentioned above.  Thank you for sharing my home.  And for those of you who stayed to listen and just hang out, thank you too!!!  Big big love.

3.  New Show added September 15th @ Guthires in Lewiston, ME.  Starting at 7ish.  More details to come.
