NYC

On my first day in NYC I was greeted with the awesomest news that the hard copies of my EP had arrived! Thanks to everyone who’s been ordering, it makes me the happiest to make the trip to the post office to send them to you!

It has been very cold and windy here. There was some snow too, but it got washed away by the rain…walking down the streets of NYC is no fun really when it is 27º F (-3º C) outside and you’re not equipped for the cold…however I must say that the fact that I was heading to the studio do some work did make it a bit better…nothing like being back in NYC and making music with talented people!

Heading back to L.A. tomorrow…I hope the airport is not too crazy!

I’ll leave you with a happy picture of me and the new EP (order yours here).

See you in the New Year!

(By the way…if you think my smile looks funny it’s because my lips have been destroyed by the cold and it is hard to smile…and no I am not trying to cover up on the second pic…but the EP and I didn’t both fit so something had to be sacrificed!)

New Orleans

New Orleans is beautiful. We were in the French quarters today and saw this amazing band playing. They are called “Tuba Skinny”…I am a fan…check them out. I was lucky to get an awesome solo by the washing board player on video! I will be posting it soon…but I have limited internet access for now so the video will have to wait One more day in New Orleans and then off to NYC!

On another note…hard copies of the EP are coming this week and should be arriving on the 24th so get ready to order yours!

UPDATE: here’s the video to Itchy Ribs Robinson’s washboard solo!

lazy sunday

In spite of my efforts to stay away from the blogging world, I have accepted that since it is probably only a matter of time since I succumb to the instantaneity of technology, I might as well just embrace it and start sharing my daily occurances with you all now . So here it is my first blog attempt…let’s see…

@TimKro has been super sweet and kind enough to include Heartbeat amongst his top 5 picks of new EPs of 2009! check it out on his blog here: http://tinyurl.com/timkro-bestep09

T-shirts, bags and other paraphernalia are finally available for purchase so check them out on the merch section! Also, let me just point out that there are TONS of colors to pick from, just click on the t-shirt style that you like and you will be taken to another page where you can preview them in various colors. Check them out. Tell me what you think!

It is always sunny here in Los Angeles…which is why I LOVE this city so much. So I think we’re gonna get some food in our bellies and head out to soak up some of the sun…then off to dance and party at the wedding of one of my greatest friends and tomorrow finally taking off for a few days of vacation after a year of hard work!

I hope you all will be listening to Heartbeat EP during the break (if you are taking one) and if you are not, I hope you will be listening to it just as well

Love,

Yael
