HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

This has been a fantastic year of creative collaborations, which is exactly what I had hoped for. Special shout outs to Jerry the Priest, Quentin Josephy, Annabelle Cabrera, Milo Martin, and Anne & Jeff Grimaldo. I'm so blessed to be working and playing with such talented and fun friends.

I'm also thankful to everyone who invited me to be part of special events this year, such as the Los Angeles Accordion Festival, The Monsters of Accordion Tour, the Abbot Kinney Festival, and all the art and poetry events and private parties.


"What's The Matter With Mommy?" @ Salon Oblique

 Last month was a lot of fun with performances at art shows @ Salon Oblique & The Hive, The Onyx Reunion @ The Echo, and several private parties, much of the time with Jerry the Priest. We are having a lot of fun and sharing that energy with others. Contact me if you have an event that you'd like us to play at.

Onyx Reunion @ The Echo
(Musical line-up depends on who's available but could include accordion, trombone, guitar, violin, percussion, and of course singing. Poetry, games and audience participation may also occur.)


*THIS WEEK*

SAT, DEC 13, 5:00pm
"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH MOMMY?" Part 2
@ SALON OBLIQUE, Venice, CA
Performances by Mrs. Hobbs, Milo Martin, Grace Zabriskie, Jim Marquez, with talks by curator Shana Nys Dambrot and Lilli Muller.

If you missed the last "Mommy" night and want to come out this Sat., email me asap so I can put you on the guest list and I'll send you the address.

(It's just been confirmed that the art show -- I also have a couple of pieces in it -- is going to travel downtown to the Phantom Gallery for January, and there will be another performance night then. Stay tuned for more info.)
