The Countdown

So, it’s hard to believe after all this time that the record is finally done and uploaded digitally to 35 different music sites. NO more tweaking, no more remixes, no more nothing. It is what it is. I’ve been holding onto it for  a long time and it’s good to let it go. The idea that you have to let something out of your hands to receive new things, is at the forefront of my mind.

I think about when I started this record and how much things have changed over the past couple years.  It is a real trip. A new family, a new marriage, new experiences, new growth it’s bound to be time to let the next thing manifest. I am one of those people that likes to hold onto things, it’s hard for me to let go , but now it’s time.

Look for it on I Tunes or your favorite digital distributor, June 21st

The Truth Is…

Long Beach, CA – 08/28/10 – The Library

40% chance

Well, if you are anything like me, I tend to run a lot more on inspiration than disclipline when it comes to the creative process. I have always been a bit lazy like that.  My guitar has acted a lot like a best friend I run to sobbing because of heart break, confusion, disillusioment, or in joy and moments of gratitude. To be honest mostly lately I have just felt so busy all the time it is hard to carve out much time to pick up my ol guitar. So although I haven’t written many new songs lately it feels like a storm is brewing and some creative clouds could be on the horizon. So check the forecast and I’ll let you know if there is a chance of rain.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!

So for all you folks out there who have mellowed with age a bit, maybe a night of acoustic music at a place called the Library might not be such a bad idea.  It sounds pretty good to me.  I am trying to get connected with the old days when I use to play by myself in coffeehouses, subway cars, and on street corners.  It always feels a little more intimate and spontaneous to do so.  It’s a chance to see where all these songs came from and maybe where they are going. So if you don’t really feel like bangin’ at the club and getting sweaty on the dance floor come on out to the Library, but if you would rather do some shots and get a little crazy, I won’t hold it against ya.

Shhhh..I’m at The Library

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that I am playing a local venue on Saturday August 28th.  It’s a cool little spot called The Library in the hip and happening corner of Long Beach on Broadway. The Library is a sweet little place to chill and I always have a good time and a low ket set there.  They also have great drinks and desserts to nosh on , so come on out.  I am having a special guest Solo Pony come out and do a short set as an added bonus. If you want to hear what he is up to check out his myspacepage at www.myspace.com/solopony  He will be doing an acoustic set to mark the next stage in his musical evolution. Not to be missed!

The Library is located at 3412 Broadway, Long Beach CA 90803

Do you You Tube?

Hey there!

Just wanted to let you know that we are now actively on You Tube. We just posted the live performance from the Orange County Fair and are just a click away. The performance was really an exciting one and we were so touched by the people who came out to support us, eat too much and have a good time. Special thanks to Best New Bands.com for the write up on their website and all their love.  So next time it’s 12:30 am and you are trolling You Tube videos search for Christa Mae and the Brigade and check out our live set!

New myspace Page!

Hey all you people out there,
