Not just a season anymore! This eclectic pop/new soul/rock fusion band is fronted by my lil' sis Autumn, a blonde bombshell you simply have to see and hear to believe. I'm in one of her videos, which you can see on this site, and I sing backup for her regularly. The album is DONE, look for it available soon!

Met Brandi in Seattle when we had regular gigs at the same venue and she was not yet old enough to drink. She has grown into an amazingly powerful artist and songwriter.
go Brandi!

www.heathereatman.com
New York's best-kept-secret artist. Heather consistently writes songs that blow me away. They steal my breath,l make my heart crunch up into a ball, and bring tears to my eyes with their simplicity and poetry. This makes it really, really hard sometimes to sing backup for her!

Armed with a voice that defies confinement to any single era, Hilary is a young and beautiful vocalist and budding songwriter. She also is a stone cold fox, and a fantastic friend. We co-wrote our first song together, "P.T. Barnum", and are working on more! yay!

Jess' current CD, "Strawberry Lover", is one of my favorite records this year. Jess is one of the best songwriters I know. And she has the most contagious kooky laugh!
www.juliabrown.com
A good friend and a deliciously intelligent songwriter. She writes these gorgeous songs that are intricately detailed with beautiful, dark precision, and are also groovy - like a Tim Burton movie, only less morbid and more feminine. We do lots of shows together cuz she is so cool.
www.marccopely.com
An accomplished vocalist, amazing guitarist, songwriter, and producer, and a really, really, really nice guy. Someday I know he will own his own beach house. On his own island.

This NY singer/songwriter has an uncanny gift for elegance in his songs. I first fell in love with his music after seeing him perform solo, just him and his guitar, but he also can rock the house with his full band.

Obi-Scott Jacoby is the center of one music tribe which includes some of the artists I work and hang with (Autumn, Maiysha, Marc Copely) and is himself an artist/songwriter/producer. And an old-school Puma shoe enthusiast.

Uliana is brave enough to groom my tangled mop!
Her salon is also Jimi Hendrix's old apartment. How cool a place is that to get your locks cropped in.
