2010 has started off with a bang, and has not slowed down yet! I'm currently completing new songs started during February Album Writing Month, aka FAWM, in which I've I've reconnected with my pal, songwriter Dave Jay Gerstein, who is also this month's "Future Legend", and I'm excited about the music we've been making!
I've also been expanding my musical horizons! On March 17th, my song "Lucy & Ethel" will be performed by a group of singers and musicians featuring music by women composers (including Lady Gaga)! This performance series celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Women's Month. I can't even put into words what this means to me.
If you live near NYC, I'll be returning to Ashford & Simpson's SUGAR BAR on March 31st at 9pm. The last gig was a lot of fun, and I hope you can come out!
At Unity of New York, I'm organizing the kids' Easter song performance this year. With the help of composer/arranger Jeff Thomson, I've created a new medley arrangement featuring the songs "Easter Lily", and The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun". This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, and I'm having a lot of fun with the kids!
In music biz news, I can't believe that I'm already halfway through Ariel Publicity's online "Music Success in Nine Weeks" course for Canada. I've been moderating this course with Ariel Hyatt, and meeting a lot of great musicians. I'm learning more about online music marketing from my students too!

Featured Video: “Snow Day” with Tym Moss and Me!
February 10th was a huge snow day around the country. While many kids celebrated having the day off, my roommate Tym Moss and I also took advantage by taking a trip to our neighborhood park to make snow angels.
As a sidenote, I learned that February 2010 was the snowiest February and snowiest month in NYC's recorded history. We received over 36.8'' of snow. For a Miami girl like myself, that's A LOT of snow!
What's New on the Rock Star Life Lessons Blog?
Check out some of the recent popular blog posts at Rock Star Life Lessons:
A native New Yorker, Dave Jay is a prolific performing songwriter/entertainer who began writing songs at age 9, imagining himself to be the 5th Monkee... that is, until he heard The Beatles! His one-man show "johnpaulgeorgeringo" enjoyed a critically- acclaimed run during the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival, in which it was named "Outstanding Solo Show."
As a singer/songwriter, Dave Jay performs his "BLAMMO POP" music, which has been compared to Elvis Costello meeting the Beatles in a tug of war with the Beach Boys, at clubs, parties, mental facilities, hospitals, and bars throughout the tri-state area. Whether charming national television audiences on ABC-TV's "The View" as their Original Song Contest Winner, or writing music licensed by MTV for “The Osbournes,” Dave Jay injects his original brand of upbeat, melodic, lyric-driven, jazz-tinged pop/rock into every performance. Dave Jay's latest CD is "Songs for Today's Attention Span."
