A few weeks have passed since the Lola’s Room CD release show for my new album The Heart of Things and the joy of that experience still resonates within me. It was a pleasure and affirmation to have such an appreciative audience of nearly 250(!). THANK YOU! Playing with the “One Night Stand Band”, Tim Ellis, Arthur Parker, Rob Stroup and Jean Pierre Garau was a complete joy; singing with the angelic Jocela Mae was, as usual, sublime; and Eric Park was fantastic on the beautiful accordion given him by the late, great Dave Carter. Ever since the release, I have dreamt of putting together a permanent, and as talented, band – which I am now pursuing.
I recently returned from an incredible experience in Santa Cruz where I performed for a women’s retreat. Many women I met want to help me on my journey. I sold out of CDs there and came home with orders for many more and invitations to do Halélupé House Concerts in Northern & Southern Califormia. The universe just keeps bringing me more than I could have imagined myself.
I look forward to seeing you at the shows coming up in Portland, Albuquerque and Tacoma. See you out there.
