I am having a hard time expressing how wonderful the whole event felt. I am grateful to EVERYONE who was a part of this event, from musicians to street team to community who came to support. The Family Friendly show Sold Out, my first sold out show ever! And the Evening Set was warm and deliciously soulful. I am deeply moved. Mount Airy, you rock. More soon! But here’s a video from the Family Friendly set which says a lot.
Folks,
I was hoping the CD would be available tomorrow for purchase but I think we’re going to have to wait a few more days. In the meantime, feel free to take a listen on Soundcloud. If you’re in the Philadelphia area, I’d love to see you this Saturday at the CD Release event (see SHOWS page!) The CD’s getting some great press. Check out this review on the wonderful blog, indiewoman. Honored!
MJ: a conviction doesn’t bring you back, but I am remembering you.
As part of a new concert series, I’m proud to support our local record shop, Hideaway Music! Check out the NPR coverage

Excerpt: While many artists are using art to protest politics, others are using politics to protest art. Chana Rothman, a songwriter living in Philadelphia has seen many of her contemporaries become involved in the protests. “A lot of my friends who are artists joined the protests because a lot of art has been corporatized, and it has shut off the ability for a lot of artists to share their work.” Rothman has herself penned a soon-to-be-released song titled “Wall Street, Main Street.”
