The internet is temporarily strong enough to put a sound up! Woot!
So, here at Montecito, there exists a night each week in which people of all shapes and sizes perform poetry, music, and other various things that are awesome. I am very lucky to be able to perform with many talented musicians throughout my weeks here on the mountain. One of these wonderful people is Grant Lewis, an incredibly fantastic and friendly KILT with an beautiful voice and lots of musical talent.
Here is a live recording of us performing "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men. (It's not the best recording ever. Twas recorded on my iPod. Even with a little editing, I could not get the cracklies out. Still worth listening, though! The rawness is a part of the beauty!)
Enjoy!
More sounds to come soon. The next cover will be "Tiger Mountain Pheasant Song" by First Aid Kit featuring the lovely Moira Jo.! Woot :) Trying to edit out the cracklies a bit more.
On another note, thank you to everyone for all of the support I have been receiving lately. Whether it's been through words of wisdom and encouragement, notes of appreciation, instrumental and vocal accompaniment/song advice, help finding studios, donating money through bandcamp/iTunes/etc., or any other random support form like hugs/phone calls/just plain good ol' listening, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou from the bottom of my heart. No support has gone unnoticed. Every bit of it has kept me inspired to be a better songwriter, and just a better person as a whole. I feel very blessed to have so many people in my life pushing me forward to achieve the things I feel I need to achieve.
Living here in California has been one of the best choices I could have ever made in life...and honestly, the support from here and from back home is what makes it so incredible. So, thank you all so much for everything along this journey.
There are many great musical happenings coming up ahead on this path, many of which I will soon share with you! Lots of news to share in the next couple of months.
til next time,
Madelyn
