I was going to go camping over the weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends went to check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.
Speaking of music, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a project called Sonic Transformations. It is a series of audio-visual performance pieces. The first one is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". It features live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. The night will be full of creative, interesting, high-energy music, good drinks and good times.
Here's the info:
Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave" w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves Friday, October 16th Station 4 201 E 4th St St Paul, MN 55101 9pm / $5 / 18+
How've you been? I'm playing the Downtime (in Dinkytown) tomorrow night in case any of you want to swing by. This one will be mostly solo. I played the Fine Line on August 3rd with full-arrangements, featuring accordion, violin, bass, guitars, piano, backup vocals. There's a couple tracks up from the show--it was pretty sweet.
How is the grind treating you? I see you played at the Saint's game! I'm gonna' try play a full-band show in Duluth this winter. I'll keep you in mind. And, as always, let me know if you guys are looking for someone to share a bill.
Hey guys thanks for inviting us to play that show last night it was alot of fun. Your guys new songs are really good, and we hope to be seeing you all around more and more.
Hey Sista~ You sound great... You're writing and arranging brilliant tunes... You have a fun in the sun summer schedule... Baby! Life is good. If you have time for a break, stop up in Mahtowa this weekend for the HWY 61 FOLKS Festival. A hippy type free event. Their motto is something like "I was folked on HWY 61" Great dorky fun- splendid people. See ya soon? Patti

How are you all doing? I haven't seen you for a while and felt the need to say hi. remembering the days i drove to places like mankota to see you play on the floor of one of the smallest houses i've ever been in.. I hope things are going great for you. I've picked up enough gear to start throwing outdoor shows and will definitely be bugging you as usual. peace.
