Carla's Corner

Happy Fall! I just got back from a whirlwind trip to LA for the TAXI Music Road Rally. Ariel Hyatt and I attended this annual music conference and met tons of musicians while promoting our brand new book, The Musician's Roadmap to Facebook and Twitter: Your Complete Guide to Being Liked, Followed and Heard.

The above photo is from our upcoming video interview with Bob Baker, who I've renamed "The Godfather of Indie Music Marketing". Bob was already writing about music marketing when I was just getting started, and I've learned a lot from him over the years.

At Unity of NY, I'm once again working with the Sunday School kids to conduct this year's Thanksgiving song. I'm still not exactly sure how I got involved, but I'm having a great time!

And last, but not least, guess who's opening for Sheryl Crow at The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation benefit? The Aged Inventory "boys" and I will be warming up the crowd at The 13th Annual Collaboration for a Cure Gala next Thursday, November 18th. Tickets are sold out, but you can get more info or make a donation at TheWaxman.org


Featured Video of the Month

I'm starting to think that videos are my "thing"! Thanks to my easy-to-use Flip camera, I'm starting to think of myself as an amateur video producer.

This is my second Halloween living in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. The thing that struck me the most last year was how family-oriented my new neighborhood is. Moms and Dads are out in full effect to go "trick or treating" with their kids. The local stores, delis, and bodegas had candy ready, and I just had to capture the scene on video.

The song, iWhat Are You Going to Be for Halloweeni is by Matthew Gray Gubler (also known as Criminal Mindsi character, Dr. Spencer Reid), from his upcoming Halloween album for kids.

Last Original Gig of 2010:
Nov 14th, SIP Lounge, NYC

2010 has been a great year for performing, and I'm happy to say that I surpassed my goal of 10 gigs this year. Between my original gigs, choir gigs, band and hospital gigs, I was a singing FOOL - just the way I like it!

But alas, this weekend marks my last scheduled original music NYC gig of 2010. Anything can happen at the last minute, of course, but as far as I know, this is it!

If you're in NYC, come celebrate 2010 with me at SIP Lounge, a fun & cozy hangout spot near Columbia University:
