Humming House friends, fans, and family: THANK YOU!
To all my Humming House friends, fans, and family – I’ll preface my entire message with a brief mention that in case you haven’t heard either from my recent blog post or the announcement on Humming House’s page, I decided to leave the band this spring. I have a little kiddo on the way in September,…

Six Men and a Lady: The Sixthman Sessions
I’d like to do the Sixthman Sessions the justice it deserves by writing an entire book on the craziness of how I met a group of awesome musicians on a cruise ship, wrote and recorded 9 songs in 2.5 days with them and in the process gained a bunch of great friends. I’d like to do…

Humming House in the Huffington Post!
We are making a brief pause in the Chile recap to bring you this announcement: Humming House was in the Huffington Post today! Check out this article by Michael Bialas, who interviewed me and Justin back in September at the Americana Music Festival. It’s a list of 14 Peak Performers in 2014, and HH is in…

Pre-order the new live Humming House album!
I know, I know – I promised photos of Gia and this post has nothing to do with photography or my sweet niece. But it’s coming! This post is time-sensitive, so I’m going to get down to it. Humming House is releasing a brand new LIVE album on August 26, and you can pre-order the…

Update from Chicago
I’m in Chicago! More importantly, I’m currently relaxing in Ian and Andrea’s condo listening to First Aid Kit and waiting for Andrea to return from work so I can dote on Gia and take 100s of photos. We don’t have a show until tomorrow, so later today we are going to the park to take Gia’s…

Also…what happened to February?
Well, there goes another month in 2014. At the beginning of this month I went down to Florida with Humming House to embark on the Cayamo Cruise in Miami – my first cruise ever. I’m not sure I ever would have gone on a cruise had it not been for Sixthman, the company that runs…

What happened to January?
January is over. I’ll let that sink in for a second…I can’t believe we’re already 1 month down 11 to go in 2014. I thought 2013 flew by, and I wasn’t having half as much fun last year as I hope to have this year (and last year was pretty damn fun). You know what…

LAST CHANCE TO PRE-ORDER THE NEW HUMMING HOUSE ALBUM!
Sorry for all the monotony lately on the blog – we do have a ton of stuff to post on here from happenings of late but we are now facing the real “crunch time” to raise the $20,000 on the Humming House kickstarter! THERE IS LESS THAN ONE WEEK TO REACH OUR GOAL! If we don’t…

FREE album download – one day left!
Two weeks ago I posted about two important announcements from my band Humming House – and one of those announcements was that the debut Humming House album is, for a limited time, available for FREE on noisetrade.com! That limited time is quickly approaching its end – there’s only ONE DAY LEFT to cash in on…

Important Announcements from Humming House!
Dearest friends, If you didn’t know this already, I sing in a band called Humming House. I started singing with them back in February and went on a few small tour runs with them. In May I decided to halt my academic life for a bit and enter the touring / music world full time,…

Home again!
Ohhhh it is good to be home. I’m currently lounging on the couch, Chupi is curled up next to me asleep and snoring into my leg, West Wing season 3 is on, Javier is studying, the house smells like pesto pasta and life is GOOD. I’m so happy to be back! Humming House was on…

Big changes in the LRL (don’t get too excited – no baby announcements here)
I play the “this point in time” game with my life regularly. You know, the: “this time last year I was doing this” or “this time last week this happened” or “this time tomorrow I’ll be doing this!” So here we go, time to do a little of that on the blog. This time last…

We (finally) went to the symphony!
The Schermerhorn Symphony Center has been open for 7 years and Javi and I went for the first time last weekend! I can’t believe it took me so long to get there – what an incredible experience. My aunt Jane and uncle Bruce were in town two weeks ago for the Academy of General Dentistry…

Hickory Slims at Village Pub and YumEast!
Since March Hickory Slims has played a couple of shows that I never got around to posting about. Things have been so busy for us outside of music – Eric and Willie each bought a house, so they’ve been going crazy moving in and getting things settled in their respective homes. Josh and I were…

Singing in Denmark
We wound up taking this trip to Copenhagen because my dad was invited by the National Church of Copenhagen to speak at a preaching conference. He had done this before and last year he played a little music for the entertainment evening of the conference. The conference-goers were so pleased with his lectures and music…

Hickory Slims at the Family Wash
Well, Hickory Slims has officially lost its second first show virginity! This was our first show as Hickory Slims but, as I’ve said previously about this group, we used to play together under the name Angus Whyte and the Irish Rednecks. We actually played at the Family Wash a couple times as AW&IR – below…

Post-Christmas show at Puckett’s
Puckett’s in Leiper’s Fork, TN is one of Leslie’s favorite places to play gigs. The people who run Puckett’s out there are so great and they have always been so easy to work with when it comes to booking, running sound, creating a great environment for a gig, etc.. Leiper’s Fork is such a beautiful…

SB2012 and Lulu Mae!
This week is Vanderbilt’s spring break, which in graduate student speak means “spring catch up time” or, if you’re a really good student, “spring get ahead” time. My spring break has been dedicated to the former – catching up on my thesis work so I can finally start analyzing data and writing the damn thing!…

PAULA IS HERE!!!!! And the rest of Javier’s family arrives tomorrow!! Paula is Javier’s older sister and she arrived a few days before the rest of the family and is going to stay a little longer. We love having her here, and she’s been a big help working on a few last minute projects (which…

Playing at Puckett’s! (v.2)
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to play at Puckett’s in Leiper’s Fork, TN for the second time! It’s my favorite venue I’ve played…probably ever…and we had a killer time that Saturday night. The first time we played there it was just unbearably hot but the second time it was much cooler…
