As
you can guess from this photo, the Songs from the Fog CD Showcase at
Doc's Lab was super fun for we performers. Eight of the 9 featured
songwriters performed and I can't say enough about how stellar the folks
on this compilation are. Thanks again to the leaders of this latest
songwriting expedition, Maurice Tani and Jim Bruno. If you didn't get a
Songs From the Fog CD at the show, you can pick one up at any one of our
gigs, or write me [deborahrcrooks@gmail.com] for more info.

I'm coming off a week of playing shared shows with a bevy of Bay Area and beyond musical talent, and was reminded again of this fact of how much great independent music is available for adventuresome ears. I feel fortunate to know so many artists who are writing and releasing great, interesting music!

On Saturday, I hosted another Alameda
Songwriters Roundup at our neighborhood listening room, High Street Station. I've been organizing these 6-artist shows on a loose, every few months basis, and this one was notable for having three out-of-town guests. UK artists Della Lupa and
Kev Minney were in town from Brighton (!) and Ted Nunes joined in from the Central Valley. Minney is a phenon guitarist, Lupa reminded me of a young Kate Bush, and Ted brought great country-western flavors to the mix. Mark your calendar for another
Songwriters Roundup May 29.
Between those two events, another local songwriter friend,
Lisa Graciano, invited us to play her monthly
Artis Coffee Music Series. This hip Berkeley coffee shop 'live roasts' its coffee and provided a pleasant backdrop for an afternoon set. Live music, live coffee, why not!
