My Love-Hate Relationship With Comparisonitis
“I am enjoying showing up as myself more completely.” That was the nugget of gold I rendered from my weekend intensive with my coach this past weekend. Once a quarter I sojourn in Minnesota for a few days to do deeper work to heal my “stuff” and open up blocks around my mindset. Because I’m…

Don’t Stop Believin’ / With or Without You
So I’m in Minnesota this week, and I’m spending time with my coach, workin’ on me. We take a dinner break and head to a local joint, the Green Mill, and on the radio, I hear what I think is Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” – a tune I can never get enough of. But you…

I Was Here
This song was recorded before I left town for the Pink Papaya national conference. It was a song I’d heard a couple of years ago,and as much as I liked the lyrics, I didn’t think I’d ever really have a chance to sing it without sounding pretentious. Thankfully, I was asked to select a song…

Rumor Has It
2 Happy Independence Day Weekend! For the 300 songs project this week, I thought it was ironic that I was singing a breakup song by a Brit today (since the US broke up with Great Britain all those years ago), but the votes on Facebook made it hands down the winner. Next week, I’ll post the…

Watch The Wind Blow By / Easy (Like Sunday Morning)
2 I may be ill this week, but I’m not skipping my weekly video. It’s time again for another musical medley mashup! This time, it’s the most well known Sunday song of all time (that classic Commodores hit, “Easy”) with a little country thrown in for good measure (that Tim McGraw hit “Watch The Wind…

The Iocane Powder approach to overcoming your fears
As a musician, an artist, a creative that’s blazing my own trail, there’s a lot of resistance. It comes masked as rejection from family, friends, peers, and the industry itself. But the worst is when it comes from within myself. I gave up on my dreams once… I was a freshman in college. I had…

Get Here
2 362 Well, the auditions for Season 7 of The Voice have come to a conclusion for me. I filmed this yesterday on our way out of town. The audition was awesome, and while I didn’t make the cut, I’m completely happy with my audition and learned a lot along the way. A post will…

The Jonah Hill School Of Loving Your Haters
“Let me be a lesson to you of what NOT to do.” When you’re a celebrity on par with Jonah Hill, that’s probably not the ideal phrase to be uttering to your fans. In this case, though, Jonah’s sincere apology on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon after being caught on camera making a grossly…
