\"rock<\/a>Tonight I perform with two special ladies who were strangers to me only a couple of weeks ago. I entered the “Rock Lotto” just for fun – a musicians’ lottery where eight bands are formed by drawing names out of a hat. Our assignment: to come up with 10 minutes of original material to perform live.<\/p>\n

In addition to working the old noodle, I’ve made two new friends and am inspired by their passion and devotion. Clara Bellino<\/a> and Omi Bahari <\/a>both have such positive energy – so much so that we started dancing and singing about bluebirds in the sky! Here’s a verse from our new bluebird song:<\/p>\n

We are The Blossom Suite<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nest in the tree of life<\/em>
\n Have gratitude for sunshine<\/em>
\n Be inspired by the light<\/em>
\n Dance with the colors in the sky<\/em><\/p>\n

Excited for tonight (details here<\/a> if you’re in San Francisco). I’m also excited to fly to Nashville next month to begin recording a new album at Prime Cut Studio<\/a>. Yes, it’s true. Pinch me, please! Looking forward to working with old friends and welcoming new strangers – in the form of brilliant Nashville players – to add their talents to my songs.<\/p>\n

Feeling so much love in community right now, which is hard for an introvert like me. Sometimes I have to force myself to share. Alone time has its merits, of course, but I’m always amazed at what comes from a beautiful collaboration. Makes me feel lighter. And it’s fun!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0143<\/a>So I invite you to get yourself out there. Make a new friend today and see what blooms! Drop me a line and let me know who inspires you. I’m doing a happy dance right now just thinking about friends I hold dear and friends I’ve yet to meet. Will you join me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
