Not only in my personal life (my dad flew in from Portland and my fiance took time off work to drive down from LA) but in way beyond what we imagined.

Here is a band photo right after we performed Break the Mold, Stranger to Stronger and a teaser of Sunrise on the KUSI morning show in San Diego. Version of these can be found on our fan facebook page, and keep checking back to see when we post the high quality video on our site.

And of course, ANTHOLOGY with Indie By Design was fabulous last night! I felt totally charged from the amazingly positive energy of all our friends, family and fans. We got tons of pictures and some video clips, so be checking back on facebook and the site for that as well.

DON’T FORGET! You only have until TOMORROW to get our new free single, Break the Mold, by signing up for the email list on our homepage, so tell your friends and family : )

Lastly, we have yet to think of our top 5 band names, so if you have any ideas, don’t hesitate to let us know!

As always, thank you so much for your encouragement, input and light.

With Heartfelt Gratitude,

Summer

We are simply speechless by the wave that is carrying us along this week! Yesterday at KUSI was a blast. They said it was their highest viewed day of the year, they loved working with us (thanks to our great band and amazing sound help from Freddy Bejar) and want us to come back! In addition, we had TONS of email sign ups, new members to our happy music family, spreading the inspiration in our just released single, Break the Mold. We are so blessed!

In addition, our Anthology show with Indie By Design is nearly SOLD OUT! We have never had this wonderful problem before, so if you were waiting to buy them at the door, let me know, so we can make sure and get you in!

Lastly, I apologize to all of our heartfelt supporters from way back. We accidentally only sent you the partial version of Break the Mold, but don’t worry, the full version is coming soon!

Please continue to help me get to know you by leaving comments on the site, exploring the videos (stay tuned for the KUSI footage to be posted) and listening to the songs (soon to be replaced by our new CD Break the Mold.) We want you to feel at home here, where we can connect, listen to one another, and become a musical family : )

With BIG LOVE and APPRECIATION!

Summer

This is the first time I have posted a live, in home video to youtube. I hope it will inspire, uplift and foster powerful unified change for the equality, peace and prosperity of all. It has special meaning to me because, as a music therapist, I worked in the slums of Kenya with Musicians for World Harmony, headed by Samite, a man from Uganda who returns on a regular basis to heal the communities through the music. If you want to support indie music with a motivating message, please LIKE this and share it with your friends. So much gratitude!
