Happy Mother’s Day- Free Friday!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Moms, Grandmas, aunts, sisters and pals with kids…thank you for the amazing gift of life! Wishing you a beautiful and fun weekend.
My second full-length album was called HOLD THE SUN, and it featured the song “Somebody Told Me,” which I wrote for my Mom and which was featured in the Lifetime TV show “Dance Moms.” “Somebody Told Me” is the FREE FRIDAY song of the week! Check out the live-in studio version below, plus the clip of the Dance Moms kids dancing to it, and DOWNLOAD “SOMEBODY TOLD ME” FREE HERE! Feel free to share the song and video with the Moms you love in your life.

BLEEP Magazine, May shows
Spring is bustin’ out all OVER! Check out the cover of May’s issue of BLEEP Mag culture/arts/food/fun magazine BLEEP, featuring Emily Smith, Ryan Craven, Edward Miskie, and myself in a “Great Gatsby”-inspired photo shoot and interviews of 2013 People to Watch!
The shoot was fantastic (OK, could have been a little warmer in Central Park that day!), shot by Seth Walters, a photographer I previously only knew from Jim Caruso’s Cast Party at Birdland in NYC (if you haven’t been to this event, it’s a whole other can of beans… a MUST-SEE on Monday nights if you like theatre, jazz, cabaret, singer/songwriters, and the occasional pro tap dancer.) Ryan, Edward, and Emily are not only incredibly talented, they are funny, sweet, cooperative and inspiring to be around. They definitely live up to their title as “People to Watch 2013″. Check ‘em out. And, of course, a big shout-out to editor Ryan Brinson and producer Sarah Rotker for running such a great publication. Follow Bleep Magazine on Facebook and Twitter, too.
On with the shows!
First one’s for the kitties and pups. This Saturday, May 4, Rock and Rawhide will present a benefit concert in Queens to help raise funds for toys, blankets, and treats, fulfilling on their mission to use the power of music to help shelter animals.
