FINDING VENUS: Come Hell or High Waters

webjen — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:38:31 +0000

Caroline Waters and I did our second U.S. version of her musical on October 26th. I helped her weave the music and story together in a tantalizing and exciting edit. We added great folks to the mix, including Tamara Zook as Mama, Shelby Bond as Papa, Aina O’Kane as Stefanie and Brian Dyer returning as Psychiatrist, Jennifer Richardson as Higher Self, and Caroline as Caroline. I got to play more songs on cello and harmonize with a few vocals! Cellist Sandy Seufert joined us on cello for a couple of tunes.

SATISFIED – TV placement!

Diana Meyer and Kyle Puccia wrote and produced this gorgeous song inside of a week for a possible TV placement with the help of Seth Von Paulus, Vivi Rama, Nate Morton, and Phoebe Carter. I played all the string parts on cello. The TV show “Tori & Dean” picked it as one of their songs for the upcoming season! And specifically asked also for just the instrumental track.

I played for Elysa Gomez on March 20th at Hollywood Bar & Grill for her 8th week of Cabaret Idol. We did “Delicate” by Damien Rice. It was BEAUTIFUL! She went last, and one judge said it was THE performance of the night. Yay, Elysa! (Thanks for the photo Michael!)

Played with David Babich’s band, REDLIGHT CAMERA, at Room 5 Lounge in Los Angeles on March 19th! It has been described as a Folk-Infused Ethereal Alternative Pop Band. David is a gifted composer – the cello parts were wonderful – and a great mix: keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and cello. Thank you, Caroline Waters, for the fun photos!

Ain’t No Way To Treat A Lady!

I am now playing with Harriet Schock! Harriet is a Grammy nominated, platinum recording artist who wrote (among other gems) the amazing anthem, “Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady.” Her songs are especially gorgeous beautiful paired with cello, Kelly DeSarla on flute, Joe Lamanno on bass guitar and Harriet on piano – and the amazing back-up singer Andrea Ross-Greene. We had 3 gigs in March in Hollywood, at MBar and for Grassroots Acoustica at Talking Stick Coffee Lounge in Venice. Looking forward to more!
