It can get more than ‘Smelly Cat’ awkward. This is true for any industry you go for. However, I feel that many assume that working in music, or anything entertainment related, is 100% glamorous and chill. Hold your horses! As mentioned in my last interview, it’s a lot of work and behind the scenes coordination! […]
Reblogged from Felice mi fa: If you go to enough auditions, or do enough performing, you will start to hear the phrase “make bold choices” over and over. The idea is that in an audition, or on stage, no one wants to see you play it safe. You can’t just sing through the aria without […]
When I was a kid, one of my favorite Disney characters was Figment. Well, duh, because he is a dragon. But also because his mission statement, so to speak, was all about imagination.

What an adrenaline rush! I believe this was my first time working a show at the TD Garden since The Police Reunion Tour in 2007. I’m sorry to say that it seems, despite having set my Nikon back to have a factory defect fixed, that there are still some issues going on, but here are […]
I learn something from every person I interview. Plus, there has to be something intriguing there to begin with, otherwise I may as well interview a sock puppet, right? Sometimes, though, you interview someone you look up to A LOT. One of these people (for me) is Terri Lyne Carrington. Local from the Boston area, […]
(UPDATED: Here is the full interview, originally premiered in Alt Citizen) Doe Paoro: Born Whole and Going Forth I first heard about Doe Paoro in early December 2011. Feeling slightly jaded by some of the reimaginings of folk and soul music being thrust upon me, I wasn’t sure what to think of the music described […]
I am so excited to announce that Steph Barrak’s debut album, Words to Break Your Heart, was released this week, and that she agreed to do a guest blog post about her music, her journey, and what else we can expect from her. Words to Break Your Heart is definitely a labor of love, an […]
