A Song for Javier
Happy New Year!! Last year one of my resolutions was to write more music, and that didn’t really come to fruition until the latter half of the year when I wrote two little ditties for Penny…and then this anniversary song for Javier. Hopefully now that I have a little momentum I can carry on the…

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,…

Coming Soon: Penelope Joan
Well, here we are! We knew 2017 would be better than its predecessor but we had no idea how adventurous and exciting this year would be (nor did we know how soon the year would completely turn our worlds around). WE ARE HAVING A BABY GIRL!!! Penelope Joan Rodriguez – Penelope because we love it,…

On Hashtags and VSCO
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a long time, and when I gave the blog a facelift I was finally able to make some of the VSCO hashtags I’m going to talk about easily searchable. I’m getting ahead of myself though – let me first describe these hashtag thangs to folks who don’t know why…

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…

My doggos are video stars
Last month Humming House released the official video for our song “Run with Me”! We filmed the video over two incredibly hot days last fall (back when my hair was flowing and Kumita was a baby). Running around the city in heels and business-casual clothes while trying to capture the right shots for our storyline was…

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…

Music video roundup
We’ve never posted a roundup like this before, but I noticed a couple of weeks ago that several of my musical friends released new videos and they’re all worth watching. Check them out, share and enjoy! Nunca habiamos posteado un resumen como este, pero me di cuenta hace dos semanas que un monton de amigos que hacen musica sacaron…

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…

New Humming House Single / Music Video
Another event that was lost on this blog among the pressure to talk about kickstarter was the release of our brand new single “Fly On.” This was the first single we released with my voice on it and I love the song! Coinciding with the single release was the official video release, featuring the lovebirds…

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…

Back home for the weekend
I’ve been in recovery mode all weekend. I arrived home Thursday night from a 10-day stretch of tour life with Humming House and I’ve been soaking up the last few days at home before going back out again for another week (or so). For the past 10 days our route looked like this: TN–>PA–>NYC–>PA–>MA–>WV–>IL–>MO–>TN. As…

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…

The Ryman!
So getting back to our lovely weekend with my aunt Jane and uncle Bruce – the night after we went to the symphony we went out downtown to hear a very different kind of music in a very different but equally wonderful venue – songwriters at the Ryman! The Ryman put on a special night…
