WE BLOOM , YOU BLOOM

{ a posting about my show on Bloom's site }

I am so lucky as a musician to have a venue that feels like a home away from home to me. I am able to try out new material, gather friends, and share my music with comfort and confidence to a friendly crowd of faces at Bloombars in Columbia Heights, washington D.c.

I was first brought to Bloombars by The MakePeace Brothers { whose new album was just released, check it out!} 2 years ago. Since then Bloombars has blossomed into such a wonderful art space and community outreach project and I too have blossomed! As I performed more and more I eventually became an official " Bloombars ambassador" . At any given night you can walk into Bloom and recieve classes in yoga, belly dancing, tap dance, you can stumble upon independant film releases, or performances from artists like Justin Kredible, Kevin Sandbloom, Terrence cunningham or Grammy Nominees Christylz Bacon and Carolyn Malachi. It is a tiny slice of heaven on earth!

In coming home to washington for the holidays, I was booked to perform my first show at bloombars 100% solo! To be honest, I was a bit nervous since I have been performing with Scott so much, It was intimidating to perform an entire set solo. I went back to some of the songs from my first album " Hey mom! look what i can do!" and a couple of old covers I use to rock out to.

But my friends & family & the whole BloomCrew came out in full force to support and the night went beautifully , even John { the owner of Bloom's } Mom! What an honor! - If you weren't able to make it this time, i send a huge sad face your way. we had a ton of fun - and a HUGE thank you to those who were able to make it! you warmed this little kitten's heart! <3>
