Hey there rock starzzz! 

So, on Tuesday night I'm out with the very fabulous peeps from Missing Link Music, my publishing company, at a showcase they had for Dan Ferrari at The Bitter End (check him out he's fantastic www.myspace.com/danferrari) and who do Danielle Stonner (A&R MLM) and I bump into on the street? Hayden Panettiere! (see the pic in my albums) She was soooo sweet. No attitude at all. And stunning. She was just gorgeous. We all chatted for about 10 mins about Australia, the music she was listening to at the venue and homeless people (oddly enough). It was a terrific end to a terrific night and goes to show that not all celebs are divas. And not all child stars shave their heads.

Also hot - I scored tix to Kylie Minogue's first ever NYC concert......I am beside myself. I have till Oct 11th to figure out what to wear...but I know glitter and false eyelashes will be involved...I can't even tell you how excited I am. Ridiculous. Beyond excited like a puppy.  :-)

Some of you have already downloaded my EP from iTunes!! Thank you soooo much!! That puts a big smile on my Aussie mug. I truly appreciate the support and if I haven't said it enough....I adore you.

Hey there rock starzzz! 

NYC was amazing this weekend with perfect weather (at last!!!!) which I enjoyed by spending it in Central Park. Delicious. This is the weather that makes me come to life. I could honestly live on a rock with a lizard and I'd be very happy. It's my dream, actually. To settle down with a good lizard...find ourselves a lovely rock....though the lizard couldn't be one of those camouflage lizards or I'd keep losing him. Anyway, till then, I'm going to have lunch outside every day so that I can make the most of this stunning turn of the seasons. I hope you do too. And if you're settling into autumn/winter on the other end of the planet, I hope there's something about it you can love and look forward to. Beware, I will inevitably be rubbing it in your face that I have summer and you do not...don't worry, you can get me back in 6 months.....na na na na na

Eight Mile Creek - thank you

Thanks to the very talented and sweet MiG Ayesa who let me sit in and play a couple of songs in a mini-set with Justin Moore at Eight Mile Creek last Thursday. It was a stack of fun and wow...MiG had some fabulous guests singing with him all during the night and it was a real treat. Guy Sebastian, who is basically Australia's version of Kelly Clarkson, he won the first Aussie Idol, sang a bunch of songs and blew us all away. Luke Dolahenty joined them and it was just fabulous. The 3 of them sounded incredible together.

If you get the opportunity, go to Eight Mile Creek for dinner/drinks in the downstairs bar on Thursday nights where you'll hear MiG play....and who knows who'll be joining him?!

Girls Rock The Night, Banjo Jim's - thank you

Thanks to everyone who came out to support us at Banjo Jim's on Friday night. So lovely to see your happy faces and to party with you after the show :-) Good times. And special thanks goes out to to the beautifully talented Markeisha Ensley who joined me on keys and backing vocals. What a sweet honor.

Hey there rock starzzz!

So, 4 days ago a guy thought I was a Brooklyn Italian girl...seriously. And the more I talked the more he was convinced I was. He was astounded when I told him I was from Australia. He just couldn't believe it. At least it wasn't like when I was in Alabama and a guy thought I was from Sweden. When I said "No, I'm from Australia" he actually asked "Are you sure?" dead serious. Thing is, he was so convinced I was from Sweden I even thought about calling my Mum in Oz to check where I was born...it's not too hard a stretch...I'm a major ABBA fan, have blonde hair and love "Swedish Fish" (these are lollies/candies for the non-American peeps on this email.....I'm still a vegetarian!!)....but no I'm an Aussie apparently with a Brooklyn Italian Swedish (and sometimes thought of as Texan) accent. What would that even sound like?!

Here's what's going on in my very own multi-cultural lunch box....

1. STRIPPED recap 
2. Eight Mile Creek - come along for a party Thurs April 23rd at 8pm
3. Girls Rock The Night - Banjo Jim's - April 24, 2009 at 6.50pm   
4. iTunes!
5. Some dates

STRIPPED recap

Sorry if we disappointed anyone who actually thought we were going to strip. Yes, I actually had people ask me if I was going to dance on a pole....does anyone know me at all!!?? I wouldn't strip for a tip jar. I have standards. Plus in strip rehearsals Justin hurt his leg and I broke my plastic stripper heel. Our error was using the mic stands as the pole. They were not sturdy enough.

But the night rocked big time - huge thanks to everyone who came out to support us (and welcome to new peeps on this email blast!!) on our first official STRIPPED show. It was an honour for me to play with such talented guys. Justin Moore's songs are fantastic, it was fab to sing backing vocals and share the stage with him. MiG Ayesa sat in playing keys on 2 of my songs which was a major treat. And William Rottman (who many of you are familiar with at my GRTN shows) sat in on g'tar on 3 of my songs. Paulo (Animal) played sweet percussion. Then MiG (joined by Luke Dolahenty) and William each played solo sets and seriously rocked the Sidewalk Cafe with their insane talents. Please check these guys out. They are amazing....

Eight Mile Creek - come along for a party! Thurs April 23rd at 8pm

Eight Mile Creek is a very cool Aussie bar/restaurant on the lower east side. MiG Ayesa (who played with me at STRIPPED) has a continual Thursday gig there and has invited me to sing a couple of songs this Thursday night. I'm going down there early for dinner and would love for you guys to join me...say about 8pm? Come down, have some Aussie food and liquid, enjoy MiG rocking the place in the biggest way, and I'll sing a couple of songs. I would love to hang out with you guys. Plus MiG rocks - you don't want to miss that.
