Party Favors!

Good morning, and Happy Fall Back Day, VP friends!  (Do you know what time it really is?)  All righty, then.  I believe that we promised some party favors to those attending the concert.  So here you go.  FREE MP3 download of the song written for you for the concert – the Live Cut version of [...]

Ambergris Concert

I get by with a lot of help from my friends! Thank you, everyone, for a FABULOUS concert last night!  Phil and the band left it all out there on the stage in it was AMAZING! I’m so wiped today, but I did want to say a big HUGE thank you to everyone who helped [...]

How Are We Going to Do This One Live, Phil?

I’m so excited about the upcoming concert.  Only 4 days away.  And the AMBERGRIS album release is tomorrow on iTunes.  (Please, CDBaby and iTunes….don’t fail me now!).  I can’t wait to see all of you at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre on Saturday.  And for those of you not able to come in person, you’re [...]

Brain Dump

I woke. Drenched and gasping for air, I slammed into reality this morning from one of the most realistic dreams I’ve ever had. I had been free-diving, holding my breath in waters that were clear and the deepest blue you have ever seen, with a calm and peace seldom seen above, on land.  As I [...]

Soul

The next most often asked question I’m getting in these last weeks leading up to the AMBERGRIS Album Release Concert?……Hmmmm…..I guess that would have to be, “What kind of music do you write/play?” It’s so much fun to say, “Rock.” I wasn’t prepared for that little joy when setting out on this journey.  Makes me [...]

Roleplay

I don’t know about you, Phil, but the third most common question folks are asking me about this concert is what my role is – whether I’m playing or not.  Singing? Piano/keyboards? Not sure yet.  Maybe.  Probably not. What I’m telling everybody is this – I’m pretty much leaving those decisions up to Phil, as [...]

Ambergris – What’s in a Name?

So, the second most common question I’m getting asked is, “Whale Barf? Seriously?  Why?” Ha!  Made you wonder. I’ll tell you that maybe it has something with mean girls and name calling… And turning the wheel just a little bit harder in the same direction. Or one of our music industry’s strategy for staying afloat. [...]

Creatively Elegant Dress?

One of the most common questions I’ve been asked this week is, “What the heck is Creatively Elegant Dress?”   Come-on people! Well, the dress code was Phil’s idea, so I really should be directing this question to him. But since he’s unlikely to have the time to answer in the next few days, I thought [...]

Dave Matthews – Away from the World

One of things I have been most looking forward to in starting this blog (and, just so you know, it’s been about 4 or 5 years in the making) is the sharing of great new music with my friends.  I love, love, love it when people share their favorite new music with me, and I [...]

We’re Bringing It Back, Don

I just happened to catch this footage on AOL this morning. Don McClean on the writing of “American Pie,” what it means to be an American songwriter, and the loss of the poetry of the artist in us.   Don’t despair, Don, we’re bringing it back! Have you listened to the stories of AMBERGRIS? (No, [...]
