January Shoze

Good lord, it is 2014 already.

The year is off to a…. start!

January 18:
I am psyched, jazzed and delighted to be singing with the legendary Vacuum Tree Head at the Night Light in Oakland. Also on the bill: Jack o’ the Clock and Surplus 1980. What could be more happening?

January 25:
I am thrilled, honored and exceptionally pleased to bring you a full evening of Amy songs at the intimate house concert setting of Wisteria Ways in Oakland. This concert is already showing signs of selling out; advance reservations are highly recommended.

Two very different shows in New York

Those are the musings of Isabel, the cat I am cat-sitting in NYC, who apparently walked across the keyboard while I was up getting a snack.

I’m here for the month, doing holidays with family, hanging with buddies, seeing and hearing and tasting and smelling and working and gigging and giggling and ogling.

Scenes from a New Music Seance

This CD by violinist Kate Stenberg is getting nice reviews. My short but action-packed piece “Nonette” for 9 tracks of Kate was commissioned by Other Minds for inclusion on the CD. We recorded at Skywalker Sound and in my studio. An honor to be part of this project. Here is a 1:30 excerpt of “Nonette”:

And here is a recent review at the SF Chronicle.

UnderCover presents Joni Mitchell’s “Blue”

[This has happened. But you can still download the digital album Blue (a tribute to Joni Mitchell), which contains all the music from the show.]

January 21 & 22. Get your tickets for the Joni show at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley; last year at Brava we sold out both nights. 10 Bay Area bands perform Joni Mitchell’s classic album “Blue” — my song is “California.” A beautifully produced show, highly recommended for Joni fans or just good music fans.
