So here is how three incredible musicians changed my life and the amazing things I discovered about myself. In a previous post, I wrote about a singer/songwriter named Jake Walden. Since the first time I heard Jake's raw, emotion-filled voice something in me changed. The words he wrote, the music he composed, the passion he sang with, the bravery he showed, his soul he shared, ignited something in me. It ignited every hope I had for myself of being able to create words that would somehow touch anothers life. It ignited the desire I've had in me to allow myself to be who I am and who I want to become. It ignited a change in me that I knew was something true, something special, something real. When Jake left a message on my blog, I felt like someone special to someone who got who I am. Never did I think I would ever meet him. That all changed in a matter of hours. I wrote a post about that too. After I met him, it was pretty amazing. April finally got closer and I grew anxious and nervous about seeing him again. I had kept in contact with him through facebook and myspace. I even got to know his Aunt Lori and Aunt Heather better through emails. They are such wonderful people. His birthday was one of the nights he was performing in Oregon and I really wanted to go. I wanted to give him a special gift. His aunts also sent a birthday card for him for me to deliver to him! It was quite an honor. So the tour Jake has been on is called Rock The Folk OUT. He is traveling with 2 other artists. Stewart Lewis and Tom Goss. The three of them have a real chemistry and can put on quite a show. I was able to attend a few shows...

April 27, 2009 Seattle, Washington: The first night I was able to go see them was in Seattle. This was such an amazing evening. We got to the Jewelbox Theater and waited in line. I peeked around the line and caught Jake's eye. He came over and gave me a big hug and kiss. He is such a sweetie! I introduced him to Laura and we talked for a minute, then he had to go get set up. I was finally able to meet Cheri! She is such a sweetheart. We got into the theater and sat down right in front. I went out and met Tom Goss and Stewart Lewis. These guys are amazing! The show started off with Jake singing. Oh my it was so good to hear his voice LIVE again, something in his voice just comes across so strongly when you are sitting right there with him. He did a few songs. Then Stewart Lewis got up and sang. Stewart is such a character and I love his smile. You can't help but smile when he smiles. He is definitely a treat to see live! Tom Goss sang next and it was so beautiful. I couldn't wait to hear what he was going to sing next. They all got up and sang together and it was so beautiful. I know that for Cheri it will be a night she won't forget! After the show we were all able to hang out and talk. It was so wonderful. I didn't want it to end. There was a very good vibe and the guys did great. I took a lot of pictures...

April 28, 2009 Portland, Oregon: This show I was a little more nervous. I went to Portland by myself. I have to say it was an intense show. I was able to meet another one of Jake's aunts and two of his cousins. They all were so nice. The show went beautifully. Jake started out. He sang some of my favorites. It was so so perfect. Stewart sang next and still wowed me with his charm and made me feel so happy. Tom came next and he was so into the music. At some times I felt as if I was the only one in the room with them. I was able to hang out for a little while after everyone had left...Tom and Jake had to wait for Stewart to come back with the keys. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I was able to talk more personally with Jake and Tom. These men have such beautiful souls. I felt so lucky to be a part of that night. Of course, more pictures....

April 29, 2009 Eugene, Oregon: This was an especially special night. For a few reasons...1) My last night seeing them for a whole week...I know how could I stand it??...and 2) Jake's birthday!

What an incredible night for me! The show was so spectacular. I can tell you that during Jake's entire set, I felt like he and I were the only ones there. I feel so lucky to be able to have been at this show (and all the other ones too!). Stewart was again his charming self. I freakin' love Stewart. You rock! Tom did so amazing. I loved every minute of it! All three of the guys got up to do their closer song, a cover of Coldplay's "Yellow", but then Stewart started singing about me...yes, me! How spectacular it was. Jake and Tom started to sing with Stewart and they did an impromptu three part harmony song on the spot about me! It was truly a magical moment that I will never forget. Thank you, thank you boys for that moment. After the guys were done, I had just a little time to sit with Jake and give him his birthday gifts. Before the show I was able to give Jake his card from his Aunts. He was surprised! What an honor to be able to give him something special from his Aunts when he was on the road. Laura and I put together a Road Trip Essentials Kit! It contained things from chap stick to Zicam. All the little things that come in handy, plus a crossword puzzle book and a trivia game. I was so nervous for the next present...It was something that was special to me and I hoped that Jake would love it. He opened it and I think by his reaction he loved it. I loved being able to see his face when he saw it. It was a moment that I won't ever forget. It turned out to be a very wonderful night and I was a little sad that I wasn't going to be at some of the shows until May. I survived though! I had created a bond with these three men and I hope that they know how much all of them mean to me. Truly a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Of course again I have more pictures....

May 10, 2009 Tempe, Arizona: I have to say that I am completely lucky that I have been able to meet and hang out with the guys from Rock The Folk OUT Tour 2009. This Sunday evening was so laid back and just a good time. I laughed and cried and felt adored. Julia, Jake's cousin, was able to be there that night and it was so good to see her again. I had met her in Vegas back in February. I also got to meet Tom's partner Mike. He is so nice. As before, the music was so beautiful. I loved every minutes of it. I loved singing along with the guys. Tom sat right by me when the other guys were playing. Jake sat just behind me when the other guys were playing too. It was so nice. I felt so lucky to have become friends with the guys. As always they made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. They did a remix version of the Brenda song...B R E N D A spells Brenda...so incredible. I was able to spend a little more time with Jake again and talk some more. He is such a beautiful person and he has so much inside, and gives so much. What an inspiration he has been to me. Of course there were more pictures...I am sure I drove those boys crazy with all the pictures I have taken...but you know me I am picture taker...I love photography and the memories they hold for me.

May 13, 2009 Tucson, Arizona: Wow I have so many thoughts in my mind right now. Tonight was something special, more than I could have ever imagined. The emotion, the love, the friendship, the support, the sad and the happy...all of it, all the small looks, the winks, the smiles, the songs and the words shared...a connection of pure honesty and love amongst the people in the room. All brought together through the strength and magic of music. You could hear a pin drop as the piano was played and the songs were sung, as the strumming of the guitar and message of the songs. Each would feel it in their own way, an interpretation of words meshed beautifully with notes. The bittersweet end of an adventure for those who experienced it, in whatever way, at one show or five, through the words of friends far and wide, through the eyes of strangers who became friends. Many, many moments so deep and personal, many moments of laughter and joy, and moments of sadness and despair. This will forever, for me, be a passageway to the hopes and dreams I long to accomplish. A time in my life that was truly a life changing collection of moments...a time of growth and hope, of love and appreciation, of admiration and gratitude. From Tom the beauty of deep and lasting true love. From Stewart the happiness and shining moments of music, oh that smile of his. From Jake the bravery and vulnerability to be who you are, with no fear. So much from Jake...the confidence to follow your heart and dreams...so so much from Jake. What a way to end the tour...to close this chapter and take the moments into ourselves and learn, grow and find a piece of who we are. I truly am grateful to all those who have touched my life. I will never be able to show enough thanks, there is so so much. I wanted to describe each and every moment, but some of those are meant just for those involved. For me in this moment when it has come to a close, I know that it is just the beginning for so many things. I love the people I have met and I love the times that were shared. I have no more words, except in the words of Jake,

"be you" ......






So it has been a little while now since I saw Jake in Seattle…. We all have our own childhood memories ~ moments that are forever tucked away in the far corners of our mind…. They surface when triggered by yet a new experience, a new memory, by the music. Something so familiar…. They remind us perhaps of some of the reasons of why we are who we are….

Music has always been such a focus in my life. It’s always moved me in ways I can’t explain… It is truly my passion. I often wonder..... Is it the music or is it that place where the music takes us? Is it what we remember or is it the memory being made at that very moment? My mom always played her favorites, everyday. Everyday she would sing - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Judy Garland, so many… always music. Always dancing…. I so often remember staying up every night watching Johnny Carson, anxiously awaiting for the ‘musical guest’ that would be on… I still do that. It’s my favorite time of the ‘day’. My time. I will never forget, one night I sat alone, out in the dark quiet living room, only the glimmer from the TV would light the room…. The musical guest was Minnie Ripperton…. I had heard of her, had heard about her voice…. I was so blown away by her performance… I ran into my parent’s bedroom and woke them up! Scared my mom half to death… but I had to tell her what I heard. I had to tell her about Minnie Ripperton, she listened, she knew. She loved music.

Oh how I wish I could tell her about Jake Walden.

It’s been more than a year now, since word got to me about Jake Walden. Thank you Shelly. I will never forget when I first heard his voice… when I heard and THEN read his words. Night after night I found myself lost in his blogs, lost in all those places, in all those thoughts and questions he pushes to the surface. Reading, listening... every word, over and over.

I anticipated for a long time, when I, too, would get to meet Jake and hear him sing his songs, tell his stories. Reading over and over again, all the experiences that people have had, what they have shared with him. How Jake had reached them in such a special way. So.... YES!! I had my dream. It came true ~ meeting him, seeing him perform as I sat, just a few feet away, my eyes fixed on him, mesmerized.... in awe of every word… I have shared some of my thoughts with Jake, and much of my excitement with many, those that understand, those who have experienced that magic with him.

I want to share it all. I look back and there are so many things I wish I could say, so many thoughts, feelings that I had; How do I recreate the magic of THAT moment… Can’t go back.... don’t know how, my usual loss for words, such a whirlwind of emotion, the highs ~ the music, Jake's kindness that night, his genuine out pouring of love and appreciation, and now ~ just wishing I could do it all over again. That night just seems like a blur. I’ve said so much to so many people, spreading Jake’s music, his words, but why couldn’t I say it to him? I couldn't talk into that damn flip thing! LOL That’s just me… Like today, always hide what I’m really feeling. Certainly not any less significant, just hidden. It took me awhile, but at least I got this down.... Always easier to write.... Did I even say thank you? Why do I sing my heart out every day, every word of every song at the top of my lungs and yet, I could only whisper the words as he was singing. I couldn’t let anything distract me. It WAS Magic. I was so touched by it all... by his kind words and thanks. I will always have that moment. Even if we did it all over again, it would never be the same as ‘that moment’. The anticipation of meeting him for the first time, then being there, waiting, and then knowing someone is looking at you, turning and seeing his face, smiling, standing right before me for the first time. I will NEVER forget it. Took my breath away....

It was so wonderful to share it all with some very special friends. Meeting Brenda and Laura, and OMG ~ Tom and Stewart. Such beautiful, beautiful people. Their music was so incredibly special. I always tell people about the beauty of Jake's music, his words, the inspiration that he gives, the dark and provoking messages that make me feel, make me think, sometimes with regret. I’m still learning. I have told him and always describe to other people, how he says all the things I wish I could say... Music is such a healing force for me, such a release and has given meaning to my life beyond compare. I just want Jake to know how deeply he has touched my life with his music, his words, and how I appreciate all that he has given me, as a friend. Continue on this most magnificent journey, Jake Walden, continue to change the world, for so many you change lives. Be you, and we will all be far richer because of it. And yes, thank you Jake, thank you for everything. I do so love you in my own special way.

“I’ve always liked the time before the dawn because there’s no one around to remind me who I’m supposed to be, So it’s easier to remember who I am.”

Mom, are you listening?

May, 2009






As Jake put it...tonight was very serendipitous... So let me explain. Last week my parents came to Oregon for a visit and to bring me my cats. They told me that when they were leaving they were stopping off in Utah. I thought that it would be a good thing for me to go...so I went with them. Wednesday night I asked my mom when we were leaving for Arizona, she said we were leaving Friday morning and staying in Laughlin for the night. Later that night I checked my email and saw that Jake Walden was performing in Vegas Friday night. I asked my mom if it would be a possibility to make it to the venue. She said yes, and re-booked us for Vegas! I was so excited. I was going to see him in concert. The whole time I was thinking that he would be on stage and there was going to be a small audience, and that maybe there was a chance to get a CD, have it signed, shake his had, say a few words and maybe a picture or two. That was not how the evening turned out. It was so much more amazing than I could have ever asked for or expected. My mom and I went to The Artisan Hotel, we got there early...(wasn't sure how to get there)...we got inside and I was amazed that there was a piano right there with very intimate seating and lighting and such a beautiful place. We sat there for a while and watched Joe, the sound guy, making sure that everything was in place and working. Two women came off the elevator and had a couple of small boxes and they were looking for another box that was supposed to be down there. I watched them set up a few things, and one of the ladies came over and asked a question, then she asked if we were here to see Jake? I told her yes, and that I was so excited because I wrote a blog about him and she was like your Bren? She told us that he had forwarded that onto his family and so they kind of knew who I was. This lady was Jake's aunt! I was so floored and amazed that they knew who I was. So we chatted for awhile about Jake and family and little things. They are amazing ladies! I want to say Hi to Lori and Heather! You two are so sweet and amazing! I am so glad that I got to meet the two of you and hope to see you in the future! I bought two of Jake's CD's and had a nice little chat about Jake and how his music and words have touched my life. He inspires me to let my creativity show. I have written poems and in a journal for years, but have kept them close to me and only shared them with close friends and family. He makes me feel like I can share it with more people.

Jake finally came out of the elevator and I was in awe that he was really there and that he would be sitting so close. He sat down and looked at me and gave me a smile like he may have recognized me. I wasn't to sure. He sang his songs so beautifully, with just the piano, his words and his voice. He started out with "Be Still", which is simply a beautiful song. His voice carries such emotion and inspiration. I love how he starts out with playing the introduction and then says the name of the song. I also love that he plays with no shoes on! So cute! He then sang "Desperado" for his parents. It was a beautiful dedication to his parents, who have been married 33 years! I don't know them, but they sure have raised an amazing young man, full of emotion and love. Then he sang "The Line", my favorite line from that song that is "...Sometimes I wonder if you'll know how very rare you are..." His words are so so beautiful and vulnerable. Then he sang "For Someone" there are no words to describe how this song makes me feel. The line in there.."..I'm just speakin' from my heart..." is exactly how his whole album is, and even when he does covers he put the emotion in every word and has such intensity. He did a cover of "Bleeding Love" and it is a very beautiful version. I love the words, but I love the emotion that Jake puts behind the words. You feel the meaning of the words and I don't know how anyone wouldn't feel something when Jake sings. The next song that he sings is special to me. It has a lot of meaning and fits so perfectly into my life in so many ways. He sang "We Are" and just before he started the song, he looked right at me and said "This is for you"...How amazing is that?? I couldn't believe it. He is so so kind and genuine. It's funny how he said it was for me how much hope it gives me, the words give you hope, and I believe that "We are not broken" Through everything in life we are not broken, many things tear us down and hurt us, but we come through it stronger and more capable of growing and becoming who we are to become. This song has so much meaning to me. He sang a song that I cannot remember the name of, but it was so beautiful, I think I was still somewhere thinking "Did he just say that this song was for me? How amazing is this? Did that really happen?" and how I wished so much that my best friend, Laura could be there to share this with me. "We Are" is her "favorite" song! I love you Lo! and I miss you so so so very much! This song also reminded me of my dear dear friend Shari and how much she has taken recently and she is not broken! She is amazing, I love you Shari!! Back to Jake. He then sang "Wide Awake" I love that song! My favorite line in that is "...you're the only calm I've know..." There have been times in my life where those exact words were applicable. He then introduced his aunts and cousins that were there and spoke such lovely words of his grandmother. He sang "The Storm" and it was beautiful. My mom cried as did I. As Jake said this song wasn't written for his grandmother, but that it changed, into something new.

I think that true, heartfelt, raw music is an art form that has been lost in the world of mainstream music, the music that is just out there to make someone another buck. Jake has this true, heartfelt raw art that connects people and many people can take one of his songs and it will mean something to them. It can mean anything to anyone of us if we take the time to truly listen and give the art of music a real listen. Jake sang "Alive and Screaming" for Verena. At this point I just have to say that ALL his songs are my favorite you just can't pick just one. This song has such a beautiful history to it. I don't know that I could tell like Jake does, but go to his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/jakewalden...you can read how many of his songs have such a deep meaning to Jake. Jake asked for any special request from Verena, she really didn't say anything and someone else said a cover of a Beatles song, Jake didn't go for that. I really wanted to hear "Too Young"! He wasn't sure at first because he hadn't played it in a long time, but I gave him a double thumbs up and told him he would do great. I love love that song.

It breaks my heart when I have lost touch with someone that I thought would be in my life all the time. I have been lucky enough to find some "old friends" and been able to reconnect with them, and friends are truly a blessing. I have some of the most wonderful friends and family in my life and I cherish every single one of them. I try so hard to let them know how much they mean to me, because life can throw some rough stuff your way, and you never know what will happen or who you could lose. Everyone then said "ENCORE! ENCORE" He did a cover of "Yellow" by Coldplay and I like Jake's version better, even though he didn't know all of it, it was pretty great! He was done singing! I was sad, I think that I could listen to Jake sing the ABC's and still feel awe! We all got up to shake hands, chat a little, get our CD's signed and meet Jake. I became very nervous at this point. His aunts and my mom kept encouraging me to get up there, but I was waiting for the right moment. My mom was so wonderful to be there with me and I am so glad to have her in my life. This road trip has been so amazing and I have seen again how wonderful my parents are. I love you both so much and thank you for bringing me here!! Jake came over to me and he said HE was HONORED to meet ME?? He is so gracious and humble. I was HONORED to meet HIM! We shared some lovely words that will forever inspire my soul. Jake truly is an angel and we are all so blessed to have the privilege to share in his soul and his journey through life.

Thank you Jake for letting us into the depths of your soul and for being so very brave in putting yourself out there. Keep your family and friends close and let them keep you grounded. I believe that most of the people in the world are good, but there will be people that will try to break you down. Don't let them and just be who you are, and you will gain strength and character as you go on this journey. You have inspired me and I am so grateful that I have had the pleasure to be in your company in such a beautiful setting....

~ About Jake Walden ~

"My favorite book is "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. Where I grew up, in Kindergarden we would sit in circles singing Joni Mitchell songs....as I continue to learn, so much of who we are, what we see, what we are blind to, and what we believe to be possible is deeply rooted in the beginning of our journeys....this of course is nothing new, it just feels more and more real to me as I go further through my life, my yearnings, and the adventure of what it is to be alive in OUR time, with these people...with music. There are also moments in our lives that forever change our paths, our purpose...there are people in our lives that do not merely walk by us in the wake of our shadows. It all matters...and it all hurts...and it all, every piece of what it is to BE, blows my mind every day.....so I write...so I open the window and sit in the hazy gaze of the midnight black with my bare feet sliding on the cold wood floor of my living room and I curl over the piano to try and make sense of it all. Maybe, sometimes it's not supposed to make sense, or maybe it is. I hope the music and my passion for it will speak for itself and that you are thankful for letting me be a small piece of your journey. That means something to me, beyond the success of what may come my way, in the end it is about the music, the connection, the seeking of answers and comfort in all the questions that haunt us and move us forward. I dont' need to state all I have done, or where i have played and how long and how blah blah...just let this moment be enough....at least that's what I try and tell myself.....

There is so much more to come...Peace, JAKE"

Reflections & Truths

Let's see how far 'our reach' truly is........ Believe

Thought of the day...I keep Bleeding love for YOU....October 20, 2009

A poet said, "Knowledge is learning something every day, and wisdom is letting go of something every day".

Many stories have been told by me, many experiences with so many of you have been had. I spent 13 months as a true gypsy traveling poet, like in my dreams (though it surely wasn't dreamy sometimes). I think I saw 25 states, played 75 shows, met heroes and the strangest of the strangers...and was served tacos from a newly found woman who would spend 5 minutes crying in my arms of a random Virginia bar sobbing that "she was not broken". There are stories yes....and all because of "Alive and Screaming". Today is the official re-release of "Alive and Screaming Deluxe Edition". On it you will find the version of "Bleeding Love" miss Bonnie Somerville convinced me to learn and play and that my good friend Warren asked to produce live and accoustic in the halls of my old apartment on the piano I had written every song of the album on. What it felt like when our voices would hit together.

Your first album comes from your life....it comes from the purest place you have, the most raw and directly from your heart. You can never have that again. You record them and then suddenly you are on the road performing them...and LIFE happens, and somehow these pieces of representation change and evolve. Your voice becomes more dynamic and your perceptions shift. I wanted to include a demo of "we are" done whispered while 8 month pregnant Amy was upstairs sleeping....I wanted to include "The Storm" live at the Mystic where I talk of my Grandma who we had just lost...I sang that for her that night....and I wanted to include "The Line" live at Hotel Cafe with Tom Goss on guitar, Tom Goss who I saw the country with on the Rock the Folk Out tour along with Stewart. I hope whether you have seen a show or not that these somehow capture something just a little different than have heard before. I hope they find that little place that somehow helps you make sense of something....anything....

Here is the video for Bleeding Love, created and animated by the uniquely gifted and special Holly Edwards



Here is the link to buy "Alive and Screaming deluxe" (including all four new songs) all for 9.99 www.itunes.com/jakewalden And if you already have the original "Alive and Screaming", well you can just get the "Bleeding Love EP". I think it's 4 bucks. As always, I thank you for caring, for finding something in what I do that speaks to you.....it can be hard to keep your head up and purpose straight struggling to be heard in this business, so I leave it to you...I ask your help. Please please tell your friends....Post the video to your twitter and facebook pages.....post bulletins on myspace....send emails to your friends.....gift the songs to people on Itunes. Let's see how far our reach truly is.....

All my love, Peace, be you, Jake

AMAZING song! If you like this, you will LOVE every other song on his CD of the same name. BEATIFUL! Reviewed By TLSPARK at 2008-10-28 17:48:49

This has been my favorite song/singer since I first heard his soulful beautiful voice. I know he will be a big star. I have the cd and I have it on my Xmas list for people I love. I buy very few from internet but just had to get it. Jake is one of a kind; in a class by himself. He sings with emotion from his heart and I go back for more every chance I get. Really want to see one of his shows some day. Love him........ Reviewed By carriejohn at 2008-10-28 22:07:54

Alive and screaming : A journey of raw a varied melody Alive and screaming ITs a song that finds you in a way you never thought could lurk within the darkness of your closing mind , ITs almost like a drug , addictive yet it remains to be a poison as the poison slowly takes effect on your mind,your left powerless- Blind to all the truths of the world Blind to your own thoughts Broken .......recovering.

When you find an artist who can combine raw emotion with a stunning talent to be able to express it with such honesty you simply are profoundly changed.. Jake Walden is just such an artist. "Alive and Screaming" is an amazing example of what music can be... what it should be... he is truly inspiring. Reviewed By Shelly at 2008-10-29 17:41:11

    It was an awesome show last night. I really enjoyed the intimate setting and getting to meet Jake's fam & fans. Jake was wonderful. A beautiful poet of music. It was very touching when he sang a special song for his sis Kati. What a surprise when Bonnie showed up and they did their duet "Bleeding Love". Jake and Stewart were great when they closed with "We Are"

    Thanks for inviting me and letting me be part of a magical night.

    Love all your music, dropping by to say hello and sprinkle sum love on your page!!!

    Believe in Yourself,
    and Remember that
    Anything Is Possible
    Believe in what makes you feel good.
    Believe in what makes you happy.
    Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true,
    and give them every chance to.
    Life holds no promises
    as to what will come your way.
    You must search for your own ideals
    and work towards reaching them.
    Life makes no guarantees as to what you'll have.
    It just gives you time to make choices
    and to take chances
    and to discover whatever secrets might come your way.
    If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given
    and utilize the abilities you have,
    you will constantly fill your life
    with special moments and unforgettable times.
    No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning,
    but for those who are willing
    to believe in their dreams and in themselves,
    life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.
