resting
Hi everyone!
It’s been a few months since you heard from me here and my, how time flies! I’ve been immersed in creative projects, writing and re-writing, laying low under the winter snow and wind and watching for what’s next. After a high-energy fall run with The Boyfriend, my favorite six-piece musical lovers, I went into recluse mode [...]

our kgnu podcast: listen
We had a great time at KGNU last week and I was so appreciative of the hospitality of the crew, the sharpness of the sound team, and the enthusiasm of the Jazz & Beyond host, Sara Dee. The Boyfriend & I played a five-song set the featured music from Under the Apple, a couple of [...]

apple review #2 (o’neil)
Heather Marie Philipp
Under the Apple (independent)
Not only is Heather Marie Philipp a joy to listen to but she surrounds herself with stellar musicians that exponentially add color and depth to this vocalist’s original songs. With a three-octave range that sounds incredible down low, Philipp could be compared to the breathiness of Norah Jones, albeit more [...]

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been added to the roster/library at Audiosocket, a growing licensing outfit with a special focus on corporate accounts and television. They are including Under the Apple in current pitches and I would like it if all your fingers were crossed for a hot little romantic drama inclusion, huh? :) [...]

why i make music #1
I recently had to fill out an online “interview” for a music distribution site that included a question to the affect of, “When did you know music is what you wanted to do with your life?” I rattled on a little about stage acting and singing as a teenager and how I realized I felt [...]

influences: patty griffin
I first discovered Patty Griffin through a roommate in 1999, who gave me her copy of Living With Ghosts, the artist’s debut release. Her raw, expressive voice and prose-poetic lyrics, not to mention her talent for storytelling the human conditions of loss, loneliness, and disappointment, made her a mainstay ever-after. Patty is the kind of [...]

influences: chet baker
I’ve heard a lot of Chet Baker here and there over the years and there’s something about his almost ghost-like presence that has enthralled me from the first moment my ears were given the gift of him. One listen to Funny Valentine, and a broken heart softens. His horn work hangs in the air of [...]
