Well it’s our first full day in New Zealand and what a day it has been. This morning we had breakfast at our new favorite coffee shop called Holm in Auckland. A very trendy place that all the hipsters flock to. We went there yesterday when we first arrived. They make amazing avocado toast withContinue reading “Think I’m Gettin’ The Hang of This…”

So It Begins
Traveling is such an interesting experience. You plan for weeks, months, even years in advance and yet when the day of leaving arrives it’s hard to be excited and remember why you wanted to do this in the first place. At least that’s how I’m feeling at the moment with barely three hours of sleepContinue reading “So It Begins”
I’m Going on an Adventure
It’s been four years since I have gone on a huge adventure and my travel bug has been biting me nonstop. Finally it will be satisfied! On Tuesday I am leaving for a 2 month adventure in New Zealand. My two travel partners and I have been planning since last summer and we cannot waitContinue reading “I’m Going on an Adventure”
Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band
I have been a Beatles fan since I was three years old and until high school The Beatles were all I listened to. When I was 12 I got one of the best birthday presents I’ve ever received, tickets to see Paul McCartney live. Although I don’t remember much of that show I do rememberContinue reading “Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band”
Sean Hayes Live at the Brickroom
Last Sunday I saw Sean Hayes at the Brickroom with a friend of mine. I’ve always been aware of my “old lady” tendencies, i.e. feeling sleepy at 9, going to bed at 10, waking up early, but that night at Brickroom made me intensely aware of it. In my defense, it was a Sunday nightContinue reading “Sean Hayes Live at the Brickroom”
Live at the Greek – Berkeley
One thing I love about social media is having the ability to be up to date on what musicians are doing in the world, and where they’ll be in the next year. When I was working for FieldGuides in April, I learned that The Head and The Heart were scheduled to come to the GreekContinue reading “Live at the Greek – Berkeley”
Brett Dennen Live
Well hello, I do apologize for my absence….slightly embarrassed that I haven’t posted anything since February, but I’m here so now that’s what matters. Life appears to have grabbed me by the hand and isn’t planning on letting go anytime soon, which I’m quite happy with. A lot of things have happened since February. IContinue reading “Brett Dennen Live”
What I’m Listening To, Foreign Fields
I like to believe that it’s easy for me to discover new music, that I naturally attract unknown groups that are asking to be played. However, sometimes…about 50% of the time, I have to do my own research. One of my favorite places to look is Communion. This is a record label that was createdContinue reading “What I’m Listening To, Foreign Fields”
Eight Dollar Mountain at The Brickroom
Bluegrass has been pulling at my heart strings since day one, thanks to my parents, though mostly to my mum. She was brought up on bluegrass, as her dad played banjo, mandolin, and guitar in multiple bluegrass groups. Whenever I hear a banjo, mandolin, or upright bass playing that delicious, upbeat twang I get butterfliesContinue reading “Eight Dollar Mountain at The Brickroom”
What I’m Listening to, Hozier
Like most people, I was first introduced to Hozier when I heard his single Take Me To Church, an emotionally heavy tune that plays with the ideas of sin and love. Like quite a few artists I listen to, I wasn’t initially drawn in by Take Me To Church, although I did appreciate that heContinue reading “What I’m Listening to, Hozier”
