Beth Custer Ensemble & CoV in Berkeley Tonite! New Devotionals Video & FpodBpod Interview! Emily Jane White & Helene Renaut Record Release Wed. @ Cafe du Nord!


Hello everyone & happy March!

Here are some fun news & event highlights, then please read on for the full event list!

Tonight, I'm singing in Conspiracy of Venus at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley and would love to see you there! We're opening for the talented, dynamic, funky, soulful Beth Custer Ensemble - doors at 7 and we sing at 8 sharp. Then we're singing 2 songs w/ BCE to close the night! The venue is only a block from the Downtown Berkeley BART, and as this is a rare East Bay show for us, we especially hope you can make it! http://bit.ly/custerconspiracyTIX

Devotionals have a new video out!! For the song "Misericordia". The song and video are beautiful and profound - filmed on and around the decay and expanse of the shores of the Salton Sea. the song features Tyson Vogel, Anton Patzner, & Lewis Patzner instrumentally - and the video also features Emily Ritz of Honeycomb. here is the link, please take it in & pass it around if you wish:http://vimeo.com/19547825

FpodBpod's Sean Olmstead was just interviewed by Popdose.com contributer Michael Fortes, on his music video-interview series, Parlour to Parlour. Each month, Fortes is peeking into artists' homes and creative processes to discover a bit of what's behind the songs and what makes them tick, this year focusing on a snippet of the Bay Area music scene, with lots of Seaweed Sway favorites. And this episode focuses on FpodBpod - rock and roll with a psychedelic soul. You can see Fortes' full FpodBpod musical report here: http://popdose.com/parlour-to-parlour-episode-27-fpodbpod/ and see a performance (w/ Joe Lewis on bass) of unreleased song "Annie": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TF6u5a7ONg Also check out last month's episode of the Blank Tapes, and stay tuned for future episodes! Thanks to Garrett Eaton for the awesome video footage.

Anacapa Arch

I took this picture of Anacapa Arch last November. Visibility is usually good during October and November at the Channel Islands but that day was incredible. It was a perfect day; calm water, strong sun, and great visibility. I also helped myself with the underwater strobe.
