Do you ever have one of those weeks? I certainly did. Probably not as interesting, however, as our Secret Service men in Colombia……

Fuller Entertainment has booked us some very cool regional shows including Rams Head Live in Baltimore and Blues Alley in Washington, DC this summer. This Saturday, we are also appearing on a regional TV show –Musically Hot! In the DMV

I also began a side adventure-teaching some very cool kids at the School of Rock. Yes, the original School (you know, the one where Jack Black saved rock-n-roll by creating a school to jam?) contacted me and…

It’s a Sunday morning, and I have been up now for hours. One of my most favorite rituals – attending sunrise service on the National Mall.

Honestly, there is nothing like it in the world. Something majestic about the sun rising over the Washington Monument and the Capitol in its wings.

The city is quiet and still that time of the morning, and you have an opportunity to watch the ducks hunting for fish in the Potomac.

Now, I was not alone. I suspect there were close to 6,000 people watching the sunrise with me – all looking to begin…

Sometimes, things just take time. Now, not being the patient type, this is always a hard concept for me. BUT, we finally finished the video from February and the live recording of the kids.

Whew! I wish I could explain how many turns this small project took, but I would run out of Internet blog space. To give you a few highlights, the idea to record with a bunch of kids was formed by a man out of Baltimore, who quickly disappeared by the time the event was set up. (Still don’t know why?) Then, the ABA basketball team came…

This weekend, I finally made it to 21 Jump Street. Let me tell you, I have not laughed that hard in a long time. I had tears flowing all over my face and my cheeks actually hurt after.

I started thinking about the role of a comedic writer or actor. It certainly has to be harder than any other. What is funny to one person, captures no reaction in another. Humor is highly subjective and yet, when we laugh, our whole being changes.

I have heard women talk about the most important male attribute is their ability to make them…

It was my first, most likely not my last, but what a week of experiences it was in Austin, Texas at SxSW. The shortest way to describe the conference: the good, the bad and the super ugly.

First, let’s start with the good: everyone in the music industry is attending. You have an opportunity to talk shop with all of your colleagues and no one gets bored with the conversation. Music, music and more music were the topics of not only the day, but the week. My highlight was hearing the keynote address by Bruce Springsteen. He clearly had a…

Florida was a hoot. Now I have really seen the Florida Strawberry festival, I can say, they were not kidding…. A ton of people….everywhere. It is known as the 10th largest and longest running festivals in the country. And, I, for one, believe it!

This weekend was a crazy one, but so much fun. We decided at the last minute to shoot a music video, thanks to our friends at Agile Partners who sponsored the video! It was, let’s say, HOT. But, we filmed everything before the rain arrived—which actually came during our performance. Thank goodness for tents!

Watching Matt…

Oh, I know, everyone is talking about the elections on Tuesday, but I would rather talk about the Strawberry Festival. So excited about my first time performing for the Festival. The line up before we arrive includes The Band Perry, Lee Greenwood, Vince Gill, Hank Williams and a host of others.

I saw, on the schedule, which I am a bit disappointed in missing, is the Adult Strawberry Stemming Contest. What could that be? That has to be fun….not sure why, but being surrounded by a bunch of strawberries has to be hoot.

Back to the other news, Mitt Romney…

This past weekend, I, for some reason, have been on this cooking marathon. It began with an asparagus, pea, shallot and Gruyere cheese pizza. The next night, steamed bronzini with green beans, coconut rice and a red chili pepper sauce. Last night, grilled salmon with a pinot noir sauce, a winter harvest salad and homemade buttermilk biscuits (which tasted better than they looked). This morning, thinking, poached eggs over sautéed walnuts, spinach and mushrooms.

I am not totally sure what has inspired me, but perhaps it is the fact that restaurants are starting to bore me. While I do love…

I know is going to snow today, but spring is in my head right now. We just got word ! that we will be laying down our 4th – (can you believe it?) – yes 4th album this spring.

We have been asked to sign with an agency out of Minnesota who is a strong believer in our musical mission! I love it when great partnerships form. I believe a press release with the announcement will arrive in the next month…so for now, I can only (sort of) talk about ……! The songs for the new album are already written,…

I have recovered from the weekend in LA – and am feeling the musical love. The news of Whitney was disturbing – and I found out on the way to our gig. It was one of those times when you have to ignore what you just heard and let your heart speak out loud. I mean, what a voice she had. But, as the President of the Recording Academy said, the show will go on. So, we sang our hearts out to all the musicians out there trying to be heard.

Clips from the show are now on our Youtube…
