Getting ready to reunite tonight with my duo Sweet Bitters for a show in Portland, Maine at the lovely North Star Music Cafe! Writing this from a hotel room overlooking the bay…already had a lobster roll last nite in town and plan to have more before I leave tomorrow afternoon…

I’m excited! Two fun shows coming up over the next two weeks: First, I’ll be tra-la-la-ing with my duo, Sweet Bitters, at a lovely bookshop called Books & Co. in Nina’s hometown of Hamden, CT, on January 29. The series is called “Songs from the Sofa” and seriously, we can sit on a real sofa and sing in front of an attentive, quiet, smiling audience. And, I think we’re going to have some percussion from a lovely gal named Lydia!

Next, I’m thrilled to hook up with my good friends, Meg Braun and Carolann Solebello, for a Song Swap on Tuesday, February 2 at Googie’s (Above the Living Room) at 154 Ludlow in NYC, 7:30 p.m. — basically, we sing in-the-round…I sing a tune, then Meg, than Carolann, and round and round. We sing some harmonies on each other’s tunes when we can and sometimes Carolann throws in a guitar lick. I love singing with my friends, especially these two — and Meg is super-busy with booking and touring these days in support of her terrific CD, Tomboy Princess, and Carolann spends most of her time as one-third of the wonderful Americana trio Red Molly, so I feel lucky to get them for this show!

On February 24, I will be the emcee for an amazing benefit concert to support my dear friend Victoria Lavington, who is fighting Stage 3 breast cancer — featuring the terrificly talented trio Red Molly and the totally awesome Natalia Zukerman, as well as singer-songwriter friends (including me) who will be performing some of Victoria’s beautiful songs. This will be an evening to remember…I hope you’ll check out this link and hope to see you there! www.victorialavington.com
