Congratulations to Tania Alexandra, The Fleeting Ends, Ryan Tennis and Johnny Miles for winning the PSP 2010 Contest!  Damon Hamilton and Julie Clark were chosen as alternates.

I did not win, but it was a fun afternoon with a lot of great music, and I had a great time regardless.  Yeah, it was fun to play in front of an audience that wasn’t comprised of only my friends, for sure.  But the real highlight of the night for me was having the three best musicians I know standing behind me supporting me.  Thanks to Phil Pardell (aka my future husband), Scott Churchman, and Brian Manser.  I cannot wait to finish the album with them this summer — I am pumped!

Thanks to Dena Marchiony and Jay Levin for putting on the event.  A lot of their hard work went into it, and it was a tremendous success.

Also a BIG thanks to my very supportive family and fellow band mates from Second Floor Stories for all driving over an hour and a half from their respective homes (nj, ny, baltimore and dc!) to see us play.  It’s always hard to get Philly-folk to leave the city and come to the burbs for a show (sometimes impossible, in yesterdays case), so it was especially touching that the people who did make it out traveled so far to do so.

Check out the Philadelphia Songwriters Project sometime!  They just gave four very deserving artists a wonderful opportunity.

My next show is June 25th at the Fire.  Recording will begin again very soon.  More shows will be booked.  And maybe I’ll start writing music again someday.
