Lots of News!

We are working hard in the Courtney Yasmineh Camp!

There will be a new video next week, just in time for my birthday and Valentine's Day!

The video artist Alea Toussaint employs the stop motion animation technique to such charming and beautiful affect in this new collaboration, we are all so thrilled to have the video released for you to see.

I will post it to my twitter and facebook accounts, and it will be on vimeo and youtube as well.

Hopefully you won't be able to miss it and you'll love the little monkey who's the main character as much as we do!!  Stay tuned!

We're rolling out some new songs!!

Here's something I'm doing with a high school in my community..I took the photo, so I'm not in it:


Courtney Yasmineh, a Twin Cities based songwriter and recording artist, is working with students from the Journeys High School in St. Paul to bring original music to their fingertips.  In a partnership with the Rock Star Supply Co. and The Lab at Journeys, the MN State Arts Board is funding a 2012-2013 songwriter in residence program.  Yasmineh is bringing in professional musicians Tommy Barbarella and Jeff Bailey, and music producer Rob Genadek, to work with students at Journeys on the students' own original compositions for voice, keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums.  Students also have opportunities to visit and record at Rob Genadek's Brewhouse Recording Studio in downtown Minneapolis.   The emphasis of the project is to enhance the public school experience during school hours for students who have an interest in music and verbal self-expression by giving them opportunities to collaborate creatively with adults who share a love of music and can model constructive behavior and help produce a finished musical product that can be a source of pride for all involved.  A final CD sampler of the original pieces will be produced, manufactured, and distributed within the school community.  There will be a CD release show with performances by the students and their professional colleagues near the end of the school year.

                                                                                              

So Many Shows, So Little Time

We are playing so many more shows this summer than I had originally anticipated that we haven't had time to finish the new record.  That said, the new record is benefitting greatly from our taking the new songs out for live test runs every week.  We have actually dropped one song completely....we didn't have fun playing it, so why bother?

This photo is from the famed Jet Lounge in Amsterdam...a veritable stalwart of punk and alternative aesthetic in a world of diluted hipster reincarnations.

The photo stands as a tribute to shows recent and shows to come.  We are taking it to the streets and loving every minute of it.  And the new album will be finished by autumn.  I promise.

All shows are listed on the website calendar.  See you out and about!
