I’m really excited to be singing with the Dust Engineers this summer while their regular lady singer is out of town. I really like their songs. You can hear them here
Come check out their music at a live show! I’ll add the info to my website soon.

Thanks so much to everyone who made it out to Googie’s Lounge last night. I had a great time and hopefully you did too!

This Saturday, my band and I are playing at Googie’s Lounge above the Living Room at 8:30pm. It’s a free show, a Saturday night and Cinco de Mayo eve. Come hang out!
I’ve been listening to Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Band on the Run” over and over the past week. It’s a really fun record. I challenge you to listen to this song and not dance even just a little.
I’d love to see you Saturday at Googie’s Lounge.

The band and I are playing a free show at Pete’s Candy Store this Friday at 9pm. We’ll be joined by my friend Carly Delight on a song or two. It’ll be a fun night and I’d love to see you there.
I’ve been listening to the song”These Days” by Jackson Browne a lot over the past few days. I’ve known and loved the Nico version for years. Jackson Browne wrote the song and his version is beautiful. I’m thinking about singing it myself. Here it is.
I’d love to see you Friday at Pete’s.

I just posted my song Wishing Well to youtube. This is off the top-secret album I made with Super Buddha in 2009 and never released called The Devil is Jealous of You.
This song was inspired by a letter I read from Zelda Fitzgerald to her husband Scott. She wrote ” something in me vibrates to a dusky, dreamy smell…” and I borrowed that phrase and used it as a springboard for the rest of the lyrics. I don’t think she would have minded.
The pictures in the “video” are from the El Tovar Lodge right at the edge of the Grand Canyon. When I was there at night, the full moon lit the whole canyon and you could see all the way down, though everything was grey and shadowy. The wind in the canyon sounded like the ocean. It was one of my favorite moments there.
Anyway, here’s “Wishing Well.”
I just got back from the Grand Canyon and Sedona, Arizona. Such a beautiful part of the world. The Grand Canyon is truly hard to take in, it’s so striking and big. I hope to go back there again someday…
In other news, the band and I will be playing at Pete’s Candy Store on Friday, April 19th at 9pm. I’d love to see you there.
I’ve been listening to this song, “Don’t Go Home with your Hard-on,” on repeat this week. It’s from Leonard Cohen’s collaboration with Phil Spector, which by all accounts was disastrous. Never the less, I’m digging this song.
I’d love to see you on April 19th at Pete’s.

Movie recommendation for the week. I really liked this.
The band and I will be playing at Piano’s Upstairs Lounge this Friday at 8pm. We’ll be playing some new songs, some old songs and couple new covers by Lucinda Williams and Iris Dement. It’s a free show and a Friday night and I’d love to see you there.
I’m in the middle of a new biography of Leonard Cohen, “I’m Your Man,” by Sylvie Simmons. As I may have mentioned before, Leonard Cohen is one of my favorite writers of all time. Apparently, he and Joni Mitchell ( another favorite of mine) were together in the late 60s and it would seem her song “A Case of You” ( my favorite Joni Mitchell song) is actually about Leonard Cohen. This blows my mind. The world gets smaller and smaller. Anyhow, I already posted that song here a few months ago but maybe it’s worth re-posting so you can think about Leonard Cohen while you listen to it.
I’d love to see you Friday at Piano’s.
