IMG_8021

This was such an incredible event.

New West Records has released a provocative, cutting-edge album entitled “The Best is Yet to Come.” The album features inspiring interpretations of Cy Coleman songs. Artists who participated in this project include Patty Griffin, Madeline Peyroux and Missy Higgins. Cy Coleman is responsible for timeless songs, such “Witchcraft,” “The Best is Yet to Come,” and “Big Spender.” All tracks were arranged by the very impressive producer/pianist Dave Palmer.

The event took place at The Grammy Museum at LA Live and featured performances by Jill Sobule, Sara Watkins (of Nickel Creek), Perla Batalla and Julianna Raye.

ASCAP’s Women Behind the Music series at the Highlands



I recently had the honor of shooting a wonderful evening of music. ASCAP had its inaugural Women Behind the Music series at The Highlands in Hollywood.

The evening was such an inspirational evening with such an amazingly talented group of female singer/songwriters. It featured live performances from Goapele, Rachel Assil, Liz Paige and Electrik Red. The evening was hosted by Radio Free 102.3 KJLH on-air personality Adai Lamar, and featured special guest DJ Kill Him aka Kim Hill.
