the night time is the right time

ok so i know this is tardy and this song is definitely not about a teeny tiny dog, but here is a brand new one that has come together in the last few weeks. i wrote this in the middle of the night in a fit of pure inspiration which meant another sleepless night. sigh. on the bright side, i’ve never claimed to be a morning person anyway… so i would say i was no more grumpy in the following AM hours than usual.

this was recorded in a shell beach living room with justin and mike. par for the course indeed.

hope you’re enjoying the winter darkness, the night owl in me rejoices in short days so keep an eye out for yours truly lurking in a coffee shop near you. oh if you’d like to hear this tune live, i’ll be at the kruezberg on Tuesday 12/13 at 6:30 with the lovely folks of songwriters at play. i’ll be the lady drinking both a hot beverage and a cold beverage at the same time.

so early

i reserve the right to wear my sunglasses at any and all radio performances, especially ones at 8am. Thanks to Jeff and Jeremy at KZOZ for having us. what a way to start a friday.

check us out at the cal poly tailgate party tomorrow at 1pm and at the kreuzberg later that day at 8pm for the reese and mel show!

i’d be remiss if i didn’t tell you all about what an awesome time we had at the kreuzberg | ca opening party last weekend. there was much fun having and carrying on by all including a raucous and riveting performance by the incomparable Delilah followed by Cottrell Freeman and company blowing my mind by performing some of my favorite tunes. what killer mix of music, food, and people – the new digs are ridiculously rad mobile and i can’t wait to come back and play again in september. love you guys!

also… i may or may not have planked the buffet, but that is neither here nor there… i don’t really want to talk about it.

you know what to do

with the help of friends, i’ve finally found a way to combine my inner nerd with my music geek (who has a healthy dose of exhibitionism). we’ve been guerilla gigging our way through the shops and streets of san luis obispo. here’s one that we recorded in the garden at linnaea’s cafe with the vines and the koi fish as witnesses.

call it a warm up for our show at linnaea’s on august 27 or call it an excuse to do silly things in public places with instruments. either way, you’re right.
