The new Chapter of my life has started. I am living on the NorthEast coast and have been traveling near and far. Last month I was recording in Connecticut at Carriage House Studios and I am excited to release a studio recording of the original song written by Adam Fallen and myself called "Help Me" in a couple of weeks! I will release a Single each month to keep the music fresh and to keep the creativity flowing. I am very excited to focus on this sound I have been capturing with local New York musicians and I can't wait to share it with you! We will be debuting new music at the upcoming show in Charleston On February 14th at the Charleston Music Hall. You don't want to miss it!
On a side note, the last few weeks have been incredible as far as luck and opportunity are concerned. I recently was in California where I had the pleasure of playing music with or spending time with admirable artists of whom I deeply respect. To start, I was asked to perform "Sweet Home Alabama" with remaining members of Lynyrd Skynyrd while Michael Anthony of Van Halen played bass and Robert Randolph played lap steel. I had the pleasure of performing Jimi Hendrix "Little Wing" with Lauryn HIll's guitarist and bass player, and I had the opportunity to watch and listen closely as John Sebastian and Victor Wooten melted hearts and taught us that focusing on the song is the strongest way to convey the story and that less can be so much more. My guitarist Adam Fallen, keyboardist Trey Cooper and Accordion player Cory Pesaturo and I performed in a small room while George Benson and his son along with Bernie Williams enjoyed the moment and gave us gracious compliments. I watched a 16 year old named Ray sing and play guitar better than 85% of the people I know. I sat in with a band in LA to end the trip that included Rawshan Ross (Dave Matthews Band, etc) on trumpet and Eric Ingram (Lil Wayne) on bass among other fabulous players. I really enjoyed every moment of these connections and am so excited for the future!
Thank you for taking an interest in my life and love,
Elise
