It is NEVER too late to ROCK! ...or at least try!

I have an electric guitar my Dad bought for me at 14 and I still love it. It holds such memories for me. I got my first guitar at 10, which I lost in a house fire. It was the cutest little Yamaha, but then at 12 I went to Manhattan (all by myself on a train with cash) and bought myself another one to replace it. (Can't imagine ever letting my daughter do that by the way!)

I started playing seriously in my early twenties (just a few years ago...ahem, alright several years ago in another chapter of my life). And now, I'm a Mom with an unfulfilled need to ROCK out on my electric guitar and where am I going to find some other Moms to form a band? Judy Davids of the Mydols did it at 42 and recruited some friends and 6+ years later, she is rockin' out across Detroit. So, as I always say...it is never too late to become what you might have been.

So, I am on a mission to find some moms/women who would like to start a band here in the OC!

It is never too late...to ROCK ladies!

Serious inquiries only please

Camp Lisa - New CD from Lisa Loeb

I just received the latest CD from Lisa Loeb and it is great! It is called Camp Lisa and if you ever went to camp or have kids in camp, you can really relate. It's a feel good CD that makes you reminise about camp days, the friends you made, the things you did, and all those cute songs that filled your head. Lisa has created a CD packed with songs anyone can enjoy; they are so clever and cute you can't help but sing along.


Here's a blip from her website:
Joining Lisa on the CD are some very special guest campers including Kay Hanley, Dave Gibbs, Nina Gordon, Jill Sobule, Lee Sklar, Maia Sharp and comedian Steve Martin. Produced by Loeb’s recently launched record label Furious Rose Productions and her writing partners and frequent collaborators Dan Petty and Michelle Lewis, Camp Lisa is largely inspired by ‘70s-style rock and pop and Loeb’s own cherished camp memories. The CD is a magical, musical destination for the kid in all of us. In its just-published review, L.A. Parent calls Camp “…enjoyable as a freshly made s’more.”

Had a BLAST at the Parenting and Kids Expo!

This past Saturday I emceed the 4th Annual Parenting and Kids Expo produced by Parenting Orange County Magazine at the Irvine Spectrum and it was so much fun! Yes, it was hot, but people were loving the vibe. Great vendors like Boogie Wipes, Saddleback Hospital, The Game Truck, KUCI 88.9fm, and so many more. Plus lots of freebies, like mac and cheese for the kids (and big kids!), gummy vitamins, KOCE, Strike Orange County, Greenedge Kids, and so many more. Plus, great entertainment from cloggers and international dancers to musical performers like the Hullabaloo Band, Stacy Robin and Adrina Thorpe. There was even a fashion show featuring organic environmental conscious products and the kids did a great job modeling.

Had a chance to meet lots of Moms, lots of people wanted my "Momz Rock!" black tank and others learned all about KUCI and my shows. It was really a great day playing music, meeting people and watching some incredible entertainment

Orange County Museum of Art Family Arts Day was a Blast!

I took my girls to the OC Museum of Art Family Arts Day and it was sooooo much fun! There was a great band playing, called the Breakaways, who played while we decorated t-shirts, made fish decorations (or whatever you call these cool things!) and walked around for a tour of the '60s art collection, Peter Saul and others were on display. Very interesting collection of artwork. We were mesmorized and I had a brief moment to myself when my girls were busy counting the 216 beer bottles on display.

The next event is in September, Back to School Cool! ...and we'll be there!

Yesterday, I hosted Momz Rock the House Music Fest at Original Mike's and it was really alot of fun!
