Flashback

Hey Kids! Check out some ancient history on Youtube.....click here!

I love this...remember well the copious amounts of hairspray I had to endure....I was trying not to look like I didn't know the chords on the piano...of course I'm playing along with the record....and lip synching...horrors! But I have to say it's nice to see it resurface. Even if you can't see any orchestra behind me!

Prism Tour - UK 2007! * UPDATE *

GIGANTIC has tickets available for all TOUR DATES with the exception of Canterbury. I look forward to seeing you at the shows!

Happy Birthday Leeza

Another recent fun event was my whirlwind trip to LA to sing at Leeza Gibbon's 50th Birthday Party. Leeza had quite a bash with a "Goddess" theme and it turns out she's been a fan of my music for some time. She was as lovely and warm as you would imagine. I sang "Sand & Water" and a few other songs in honor of her mother who is in late stages of Alzeimer's. All around the country Leeza has been creating support centers called "Leeza's Place" through The Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation.

Jane Seymore, Debbie Gibson, and many other "Goddesses" were in attendance....as was Ariana Huffington. Here I am hanging out with Leeza and Ariana....fun night! Ok...I want to know what Leeza eats for breakfast...or her birth certificate must be wrong!

Kenny Loggins

I went to hear Kenny Loggins the other night at the WildHorse Saloon here in Nashville. Kenny and I wrote two songs for his new release "What About Now" which has just been released. Kenny wowed the audience with hit after hit...I forgot he wrote "Christopher Robin!" Anyway...he did one of our songs...a Gospel shouting song called "That's When I Find You"....it rocked!

TARA and The Future of Philanthropic Touring

Hurray! I've been dreaming for years about an organization such as TARA! "Philanthropic Touring" has been a wonderful way for me as an artist to create and expand my fan base while also participating in the generating of much needed funds for worthy causes.

Working with Robert Goldman and raising money for Eden Florida has been a joy. Deeply committed to making the artist feel like a King or Queen, Goldman has always put together an event that creates a "win-win". To have a national foundation that helps to re-create what Goldman has accomplished for Eden, is a huge gift to artists and deserving non-profits!

From the top artists to the yet-to-be-discovered-up-and-coming "next big thing"....TARA can provide through it's network of knowledge and experience, the opportunity to be shepherded through all the red tape and misinformation that lurks in the world of "charity benefit concerts". The non-profits and the artists will be thankful, but mostly, those in need who will benefit from this source of support will feel blessed to receive the fruits of this harvest.

Getting Higher Choir * June 15 & 16, 2007

It's an honor and a thrill to be performing with the "Getting Higher Choir". No other instrument rings through the heart more beautifully than the sound of a whole bunch of humans singing! And the spirit of generosity will add a whole other layer of magic to these concerts. The money raised will flow like a river and carry this gift of love to a village in Africa halfway around the world. How much better can the celebration of music get?

April 10th at BBKings in Nashville, Tn.

I had a blast performing for Al Gore at his Climate Project event last night. Myself and Don Henry and Bill Lloyd in the round with Ernest Chapman on electric guitar, Annie Roboff on keyboard, Jessie Friedman on bass and Noah Hungate guesting on a song Annie and I wrote called "Yes Sir No Sir"~ soon to be available for download on my website!

Al was in fine form having come from the swirl of Oscar-winning accolades and we had an opportunity to catch up for a few minutes. Annie told me I should have asked Tipper to sit in on drums...who, by the way looks amazing....I didn't know she played drums? Wow.

Thank You Tullahoma

I had great fun playing in Tullahoma last weekend. My son Ernest and his fiance Jessie were on drums and bass and the multi talented Annie Roboff also made the trip. One of my dear friends Kathy Tugman jumped in on background vocals on a few tunes too. What a lovely audience we had! It was really nice to jump in the car and take a little road trip to Tullahoma~just get out from under the headphones and play some music....in the middle of weeks of editing and mixing....it was the perfect one-gig-mini-tour!
