Tis the Season

So it's the holiday season and like everyone else on the globe I am swamped. Is that any excuse for me not to blog? Probably not but unfortunately that is the excuse I am going to go with.

So much to sum up in the last few weeks though. I love lists so here's the top 5 things you need to know about me in the past 30 days. I will name this list:

THE TOP 5 in 30:

5. I played a benefit show called "Meow for Music" as a fundraiser for The Cat's Cradle Shelter in Fargo. It was so much fun to share the stage with so many other local artists and great friends, including Mike Holtz of Carmen and the Cactus, Shane Maland and Little Winter!

4. My family didn't have turkey for 'Turkey Day.' I don't really like turkey and apparently no one else in my family does either.

3. I'm recording a song with a great friend and local artist. I am excited and nervous and I don't know which song to record. I will keep you posted...

2. The musical is coming along nicely and I am getting so attached to my characters. Want to know the lead character's names? Teaser: Johnny Ray and Violet Sullivan

1. Earlier in November one of my friends and local musician was injured in an accident. Natalie Lindberg of Fusion & Folk and myself teamed up to put on an Ugly Christmas Sweater party to raise some money to help with her medical bills and living expenses. We had wonderful evening with a photo booth, dancing, live music by some wonderfully talented local musicians and a of course, hundreds of Christmas cookies. It was a wonderful night and I'm so glad to live in such a warm, generous community.

There you have it. Next on the horizon for me? Recording and preparing for Celebration of Women and their music Feb. 18th 2012. Get excited! More to come on that later... but for now

MUCH LOVE MERRY CHRISMAS<3
