Neat news — I’m nominated in the Best Female Vocalist category for this year’s Fort Worth Weekly Music awards. Un Chien, the group I’ve been playing with is also nominated in the Best New Artist category.

Here’s the ballot should the spirit move you.

Fort Worth: this is the time and the place for music, innit?

Schemes and dreams for the album are coming together. It’s been an exciting collaboration and we’re itching to share. The album opener (and all tracking, for the most part) is pretty much finished, rounded out by the sound of trumpet, glorious trumpet. All in good time — watch this space and all that.

Hey, before you go to bed tonight, consider a donation to the Red Cross to help out with the tornado disaster relief in Oklahoma. And hug your loved ones tight.

Hi guys, gurls! It’s almost April, spring is technically here and the album prepares to spring forth, too. In like a lion and all.

What’s left? Refinements, harmonies, filling in those missing layers of the cake.

Horn arrangements for some tracks will be recorded by a group of talented people up there in NYC, while a few will be given the “octagon” treatment when the air warms up and stars align back here at home. More on that later. ;)

Bottom line, it’s all taking glorious shape, and Russell + Josh are making these sounds into a dream come true. This is me when I listen:

A track or two will be posted very soon.
Really soon. Sooner than later! Promise.

(And in the meantime, feel free to bug me if you’d like a little sneaky listen.)

Last Saturday: RJ Audio Design, tracking vocals/guitar (+ whiskey, it’s good for yer throat!)

Last Sunday: show at Lola’s, backed up by Mr. Eli Cumpton. Beautiful sets from Apollo Wild and The Williams. [photos courtesy of Lacy Leigh Cumpton]

These swiftly approaching days: real recordings you can listen to with your real ears.

Big big thanks, everyone, for the support.
