Hello friends and music lovers,
Happy November? Yikes. What a month this will be…
I’ve been a little quiet. Spending time with my family in NYC and hunkering down as the season turns. It is a time of reflection and it’s a little dark outside and in. And Daylight Savings is around the corner – why??
Music, Yoga/Meditation, my animals, and the most amazing Friends and Community a girl could have keep me more or less sane.
And here are some fantastic shows I’m playing the first half of this new month before returning to NYC for more time with family.
Friday, November 8. The Jelly Rollers (reuniting after many years – and it feels so good)
Owl ‘n Thistle Pub. Pioneer Square
9-Midnight. No Cover
We’ll be playing some old style Blues and throwing in a couple of other surprises at this iconic Irish Pub.
I’ll be playing bass with these fine friends/killer musicians: Darren Loucas (Guitar, vocals), Sean Divine (Harmonica, Vocals), Eric Eagle (Drums).
This is our first appearance together since Sean moved to The Peninsula. We are excited to play together again and it’s always a wild ride.

Saturday, November 16. Linda:The Story and Music of Linda Ronstadt. 6pm. The Triple Door, downtown Seattle
This show is SOLD OUT. And there’s a waiting list if you’re interested.
BUT we’ve added a second show at 9pm – and there are still a few tickets. (This second show will SELL OUT, so get tickets now, for real, if you’re hoping to attend.)
I’m so excited to be collaborating with my dear friend, V. Contreras, to present an evening to honor and tell the story of one of the greatest voices/musicians of all time. V and I have been planning this show for…years. And we’re telling a whole lot of Linda’s story; we’ll feature music that spans the eras of her early work in folk and rock ‘n roll, her collaboration with the inimitable Nelson Riddle, and the Spanish language songs of her childhood that celebrate her Mexican heritage. The band features vocalists Brenna Bruce, V. Contreras and Mireya Ramos and other special guests. The house band features me on bass with Jason Staczek on keys, David Salonen on guitars, Aaron O’Neil on drums, and Alex Guy directing a string quartet. Mariachi Mi Tierra Seattle will perform the Spanish language songs sung by Mireya Ramos. Bhama Roget will hold us all together as MC for the evening.
