Sorry to brag but I'm so proud and excited to share this with you all :)

When Alicia Witt sings, the heavens themselves stop and listen. On a cold evening in Los Angeles Saturday night, December 12, a rare downpour that washed the city all day took a break from raining as Witt performed her tight 45 minute set at Room 5 on La Brea. A well known movie and TV actress, Witt performs as part of a trio, seated stage right at a piano while accompanied by Alisha Bauer on cello and Kaumyar Delkash on drums. Aside from one shout out to members of the crowd who are also working on her current film, there is no pretense or showiness coming from Witt. Using concise, informative patter between songs and flashing a genuine, radiant smile, Alicia lets her music do the talking instead of her celebrity. And what a voice. It comes from tender, intimate appeals, soaring to roof raising heights, as she all the while works the piano with an ease and command that, in her own words, is like her "weekly cardio workout." She promised to let the audience rock before our holiday parties, and in some tunes, the band takes off and she really lets her inner Pat Benatar out, especially in her self-described "female power song" and her "creepy cover song." But where Witt really excels is in her ballads, personal and universal poems of love, longing, and everyday girl issues. Her lyrics flow with a poetic polish, and her piano playing rivals that of rockers Billy Joel or Elton John. Do yourself the favor and catch her next time she is in LA or in her love/hate town of New York. You can download Alicia Witt's eponymous EP of songs from iTunes.

hey! check out my first track off the brand new EP! new version of 'blind'. produced by matt beckley. i'm so excited about it!

the whole thing will be done and available at my show at Hotel Cafe June 7... it's being printed right now... and then it will be available on ITunes too!

:)

I'll be playing an hour long set of my original songs with band!
Rockwood is super laid back and there's no cover charge; just a great
place to hear live music... they have some of the best acoustics in the
city and a gorgeous grand piano. So if you're going out Saturday night
and want to stop by before your night begins... I would LOVE to see you
there!

Also, as an added bonus, not only will my good friend Jeff Fiorello (www.myspace.com/jefffiorello) be playing with me, but he also has his own show immediately following mine at 7 PM... he rocks!

There is no cover charge, the show starts at 6 PM this Saturday Jan 31.

Hope to see you there!

hey!

this is probably a gig most of you won't be able to make but anyway... i'm here in athens shooting a movie and i've been asked to join a really great musician/songwriter, Tasos Potamianos, at a show he's playing at Pirina here in Athens this Friday, Oct 31! so I thought i'd let you know, partly cuz i'm excited and partly in case any of you live in Athens.

It starts at 11 PM and it's at Pirina, which is at Dioharous st. nb 11, the street going up from Mc Donalds behind the Hilton on Mihalakopoulou st.
Tel 210 7237150. Here's also a link in Greek with the details...

come check it out if you happen to be in Athens, it'll be a blast! i'll be playing about 4 of my own songs and maybe a duet with Tasos.
