Little Wedding on the Hill

A friend from DDCE got married recently and I was honored that she asked me to play at the wedding, especially because there were only 5 other people at the wedding, including the bride and groom! Jamie and Glenn got married atop the hill beside the Long Center, overlooking Auditorium Shores and downtown Austin shortly after sunrise. It was gorgeous, intimate and Austin. Here are the wedding pics that included me, shot by Kelley Denby.

I Can See Everyday J

Earl made a cool experimental video from footage of my last concert in the creek, over an old unreleased instrumental version of I Can See You. (that features the keys). Love the colors, heart!

Video of Hank Virgona

Hank is a long-time friend of the family. My mom has a lot of his art, as do my sister and I. When I was at NYU I got to know him, sometimes sitting for him. Hank is a hero of mine for giving his whole life to his art.

Hank called me this morning, left a message saying to search for him on YouTube, someone had done a video portrait of him. Here it is.
