North Texas Shows / Baby on the Way / Recording the Next Album

BIG NEWS...
Good Morning friends!
As some of you may already know, Jason and I have a baby on the way! We just found out it is a little boy, and he should arrive late March. As we were walking along South Congress this past weekend, Jason's dad found this gold bling with the male symbol on it, so I sported it all day in honor the boy.

...and so the album recording begins!

With this news, we decided to go full speed ahead in the recording of my next album. I am so excited about this project. Jason Lively will be co-producing & co-engineering with the wonderfully talented Paul Curreri who is a great singer-songwriter, producer and arranger, and also a great friend of ours! We start this Monday, and will be launching a crowd-funding campaign in the near future.

Heading to North Texas today for some shows

Tonight, Jason and I will be performing in Fort Worth atWoodshed Smokehouse from 6-9pm, then tomorrow night atThe Dallas Museum of Art at 9pm. Then on Saturday morning, we will perform at the Waco Downtown Farmers Market. We hope to see some of our North TX friends out there!

I hope that you are having a great week. Thanks again for all the love & support...we couldn't do it without you!!

Have a beautiful day,

Vanessa

We are going to Europe today!

...and off we fly!

Hello friends,

We are heading out on a plane today to go to Europe. Jason and I are really excited to see some familiar faces and also meet many new ones! This tour is going to be a lot of fun, and also a whirlwind. We have show after show zig-zagging across Belgium, The Netherlands & Germany for almost three weeks straight. It will be a wild adventure...and we'll also hop over to Spain for a few days of paella eating & seaside lounging!


Uncovering Stones (US Version) is sold out!

We have completely run out of copies of our last album Uncovering Stones. We will have download cards available from here on out for a while in lieu of reprinting the physical CDs. Also, CD Baby still has a few in stock, so those will still be available.

I am hoping to get back into the studio for another album later this year, so we will have that in hand sometime in the near future...but don't worry, if you are in Europe, you are in luck! We have plenty of European copies to go around and will have them with us at all our upcoming shows.

I hope that you have a wonderful September...

Sincerely,

Vanessa

FRANK, Kansas Road Trip, Casa Mariposa & Lively Productions NEW WEBSITE!

Hello friends,

I haven't written in a while, but things have been going really well. I have been busy finishing the final touches on our upcoming European Tour that will happen in September. We will be heading to Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany & a quick trip to Spain! More about that as it gets closer, but if you would like to see our tour dates, visit our website

In a couple of weeks - on Thursday July 18th, 10pm - I will be performing in downtown Austin with the band at Frank. The lineup will also feature Roland & the Roots Riddem at10:45pm along with KP and the Boom Boom at 11:30pm! It will be a night full of dancing & lots of energy. Please join us for this event. We will have a few new songs to share with you too...I also have some performances coming up with La Guerrilla where I'll be dancing, singing, and maybe even rapping - oh my! (The dates are also at my website)



The following week, I will be joining my good friend Devon Sproule on a trek up to Topeka, KS where she will play the Last Minute Folk Concert Series held at UUFT. The concert is on Saturday July 27th. I'll most likely join her with some harmonies, and will be there to say hello to all my friends in Topeka!

Then after I get back, Jason and I will head south towards the border and play at an amazing venue called Casa Mariposa on South Padre Island. This will be a really beautiful night of friends, family and music. If you are in the area and would like more information, contact Sherrie at casamariposapadre@gmail.com.
