“Ba dee yow, say do you remember,
Ba dee yow, dancing in September,
Ba dee yow, never was a cloudy day…”
– White, McKay & Willis
Hello Friends,
It’s my favorite month, and my birthday is only weeks away! ; > We have only another month and a half of summer (at least in the Bay Area where we enjoy “Indian Summer”), and I’ve been enjoying myself, despite working nearly non-stop. I’ve received some amazing opportunities as a composer recently, and am focusing on how to reshape my schedule so that I have time to devote to being creative. And after months of working to rebuild my teaching business (thanks to the slow economy), I’ve reached capacity! I guess my promotion worked : >
I’m performing in a new venue in the East Bay, E-22 Café, and with Bay Area artist Hyim at Yoshi’s SF this month. E-22 Café is a lovely spot in Emeryville, and easily accessible for all of you Oakland/Berkeley people! Hyim is an incredible artist who’s been compared to Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon and Sting, is a California Music Award Nominee, multi-instrumentalist, singer and fantastic songwriter. His musical style combines a strong popular ethos, with latin beats and a jazz vibe. Don’t miss this one!
And of course, I’ll be performing at Marcello’s in Danville, and The Broadway Grill in Burlingame, and with the always entertaining and talented Kymberly Jackson in Oakland (Q’s Lounge and Oyster Reef).
Here are a few upcoming shows, but check my website for the latest information:
