Malibu Wines Gig with In Transit

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

I sang with In Transit, my a cappella vocal jazz group, this weekend at Malibu Wines in the beautiful canyons of Malibu, California. It was a great day at an amazing venue, the perfect setting for an intimate afternoon of jazz. Even though it was misty outside, people came. We had two birthday parties, a bachelorette party, and plenty of wine lovers come through during the afternoon to enjoy the wine and music. All in all, I think about 400 people heard us play. Not bad for a cloudy California day!

In addition to our a cappella vocal jazz, we did a couple of acoustic sets with Patrick and Martin accompanying us on guitar. I loved seeing the audience sing along, and we even got some folks up and dancing to our Mamas and Papas covers and our closing number ”Cecilia” by Simon & Garfunkel. So much fun! The winery asked us back for another afternoon of jazz on Valentine’s Day weekend! More about that later.

Thanks to Malibu Wines for having us. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

In Transit in the Studio

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

I had a great time in the studio back in March with my a cappella vocal group, In Transit. It’s always a blast to do a vocal session, but directing a session in addition to singing is even better in some ways because it challenges my noggin and works my other skills as a musician and producer.

I’m really excited about how the demo turned out. The editing and mixing process was a lot of fun. We did some sweetening and recording of clap tracks (and a whole mess of fun stuff for the Stevie Wonder tune). Sweet goodness! Special thanks to Martin (our tenor) for his master editing chops in ProTools!

Hope you like what you hear!

In Transit at Javapella

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Tonight my group performed at Java Joe’s in Yorba Linda as part of their a cappella night known as Javapella. We were invited as special guests to sing with two local Orange County groups. It was an hour-long trek to the OC from LA, but the good music and appreciative crowd made it worthwhile!

Holiday Jazz Debut in NoHo

Friday, December 16th, 2005

I recently joined an a cappella vocal jazz group, In Transit, as lead soprano and musical director. We made our debut at the Hub Theater in North Hollywood headlining for Fred Willard’s sketch comedy troupe, The MoHos. The holiday-themed show was a lot of fun! Keep your eyes and ears open for more music and news from In Transit. We plan to stick around for a while.
