A: Concerts in May

I took part in the Club Passim Paul Simon Tribute night last week. Meg Hutchinson and I sang backups for Dave Dersham’s rendition of “Loves Me Like a Rock” and then I played faulty shaker on Josh Cole’s “She Moves On.” Me, [...]

Correction

The Rose-P newsletter just went out with a mistake in it… The May 24th show in Roxbury is NOT at Roxbury Arts group, it’s part of the Elle Fresca Festival at Kirkland Park. Check out the Tour Schedule for more details. Sorry for any confusion.

New Polaroids in the Gallery!

A grid of Polaroids, taken by Rose and her longtime friend Sofia (some of you may have heard the Sofia song) as they were hanging out at the Heartland Cafe in Chicago this last March. Check it out in the gallery.

Rose covers another Pooka song in the Listening Room!

For the free May Mp3, Rose recorded a brief yet haunting and persistent song by Natasha Jones, one half of the now disbanded “Pooka,” the UK duo she never stops talking about.

March TWELVE

Elon and I drove down to St. Louis. Never underestimate the beauty of the arch, my fellow travelers. You’ll see many signs as you cross the country, saying this or that state is the crossroads or the heartland or the gateway to America or some such thing, but the Arch is the natural talent.

March 11 - John Mayer Day

I know that some of you were very loyal to this page last week when I was so good about updating every day. I’ve been backpedaling, giving a daily account of the last tour I was on. But I got stymied on this day - March Eleventh - the Tuesday I’ll never forget, because I [...]

March TENTH

What on earth did I do on this day? I can’t even remember. It was all maintenance. Every once in a while there is a day like this, all ‘errand’ and ‘no-greater-purpose-has-life.’ I picked up my computer from the repair shop, I remember that, just in time for my trip. And then I decided to [...]

March NINTH

It was midnight, the first minute of March 9th, when Bryna and I walked down the flourescent hallway, on dense, thick, patterned carpeting to theater number two - the Hours. It was the two of us and one other woman, way up high in the stadium seating. I’ve heard so much about this movie, this [...]

March the EIGHTH

I’d managed to come through New York twice so far on this trip and hadn’t stepped foot on Manhattan itself. So I took the train into the city, deciding as I held on to the slippery silver poles which exit I would take. I was determined to spend the morning in one of two places, [...]

March the SEVENTH

Oh Unhappy Birthday! I was high and dry in the deep throes of undecisiveness. Was there any plan that could soothe my worried, birthdayed soul? I bought myself an orange spritzer and sat at the high-barred counter at the grocery. I tasted the pretzels with the organic freshly ground peanut butter. I listened for the [...]
