Check out my fun, upbeat, 50's style holiday tune on Spotify (or any digital platform)! 

The day is HERE and the time is NOW!  So excited to share this track with you - it's been in the works for more than a year!  Featuring Eric George on drums, and Jesse Prentiss on bass, this is…

Coming Up!

• OCTOBER 12:  "We Shine (Shine On!)" is a featured song on the WOSradio.com podcast! (the 'songs of conscience' series - uplifting songs episode).
• OCTOBER 18-24 unreleased songs "Summer Haze" and "Let it Rain" are featured in…

Okay, here are the clips from July 13 & 14th's songs!  I've been distracted, lately, because lots of decisions being made about my kids school year, and my part-time teaching situation is a thing, too, but still - week 2…

Still behind on the mileage, but there's a template ready for my livestream weekly schedule!  Will spend some time planning & filling in those empty squares. 

In the meantime, clips are READY for days 11 & 12 of the…

I need to schedule days of the week for livestreaming, or I find they fall by the wayside completely... During week 2, look for a livestream weekly schedule & catch some short sets on my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & YouTube…

I'm so psyched that after today I have 8 NEW SONGS to show for my first 8 days in July!  (If only the exercise was that consistent - lol!)

Today's song challenge was to write the song to a drum…

I'm still writing a song a day!  Haven't missed one since July started :)  The mile-on-foot still tends to be a one-day-on for 2 miles, and one-day-off, but I'll keep working on that part ;)  Gonna venture into YouTube live…

Because of the holiday yesterday, I'm combining 2 check-ins into one!  I admit that I skipped the mile on foot yesterday, but did 1.7 the day prior and 1.99 today to makeup for it :) 

Also, I'm amending my…

Got outside before it was too crazy-hot for my mile today (but tried a livestream from the porch in the sun later, which was maybe a mistake - lol) 

Today I slept in til after 10am - which is very rare for me!  As a result, the 1-mile-on-foot ended up as a treadmill mile (with maybe .25 running, .75 walking) since it's currently 90million degrees in Pittsburgh (lol).  No…

I walked/ran 1.7 miles, I livestreamed on both Facebook and Instagram, and I wrote a new song! 

You can see a 30 second clip of the new song…

I’m doing a thing! Follow my progress here, daily…😊

Sorry for the long snooze here on the blog! (I'll post another entry later this week with the rundown on my SUPER FUN Birthday show (from Feb 28)  at The Funhouse  - seriously was the most fun I've had in…

If you subscribe to my mailing list, you got a vote on which design was best!  (SPOILER ALERT:  It was the grey "Gonna Be So Bright" one)

The grey shirt will be available in sizes S-XL at the Glass Half…

Glass Half Full - A celebration concert with Julianne Wright (featuring Jeremy Caywood, Amy Mmhmm, DRU, Tai Chirovsky, and Lindsay Dragan & her band)!

I am insanely excited for this show! A favorite venue, a cast of amazingly talented…

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

Our Nov. 15 RAICES benefit raised $334 ($275 onsite from attendees, and the rest from online donations)!  A great time, with great friends, and so happy to support this organization that is doing so…

From mid August to the end of October has been a whirlwind, with back to school (both for music teacher me, and for my 2 teens) AND in September: “the week of 3 birthdays“ where the other 3 members of…

Got back from Austin Monday night with a head full of ideas & inspo (thanks CD Baby DIY Musician Conference!)  Highlights included the host of amazing keynote speakers like:  Austin's Gina Chavez, Questlove (what???) , DMC (that's right...)…

I was excited to be a part of WYEP's Singer Songwriter contest again this year!  The night was magical and the music was fabulous!  Despite not being one of the 3 chosen to move on (out of 20 artists performing)…

So, right after the July 4 holiday, I flew off to San Diego with the hubs (after dropping the kids off with gramma) for a week-long business trip/vaca! 

Day 1 included a fun co-write with some friends in Southern California…

Monday night's debut hosting AcoustiCafe was:

FUN!  (like getting to know more performing musicians/ being closer to the process), and sometimes PETRIFYING (like when I told people to order from the bartender after the bar was closed…

SO MUCH is up this summer!  

First are performances & live stuff:  

• On June 10, I'm hosting the open stage at AcoustiCafe!  Come out & say hi, play a couple songs, and hang with us!  I'll be your host…

What an amazing couple of weeks at Recording Workshop (Ohio)!  Great reboot of all the stuff I learned there back in 2010, along with valuable new info on advanced techniques and software that didn't exist back then.  Thanks to all…
