Busy Weekend of Music!

It was such am amazing week.  I performed for the first time with my new band, After the Spider. On Thursday night we played at Jigg's Corner in Butler New jersey.  The place was packed and we got to do five songs.  The next performer up after we played was American Idol finalist, Elise Testone.  She was amazing.  She played piano, drums and the guitar, but her voice was what really stood out.  She is crazy talented.  Sean and Nick also got to play for her as she sang!

Saturday night we played to a full house at Castalia 997 in Woodland Park. There were a lot of familiar faces in the crowd that drove a long way and waited a long time to see us play.  Thank you so much.  Unfortunately, I accidentally left out a chunk of Sean's song, Constellation.  I feel terrible!

The band rehearsed all day Saturday to prepare an hour set for Nick's Birthday party.  I can't wait.

College Youth Symphony Concert

Tonight is The College-Youth Symphony at SUNY New Paltz Winter Concert.  I love the pieces  we're  doing. I can't wait to see the final result of all of our rehearsals. It has been fun playing with such an advanced group of musicians. It's definitely a different experience than playing with my eighth grade band.

Music At The Mission November 30th

Music At The Mission tallied the votes from the 11/30 open mic and the band and I both placed well.  I came in first and After the Spider came in third!

I had my first rehearsal with After The Spider today.  It was so much fun making music with such a talented group of guys.  I'm really looking forward to performing with them!
