I wasn't the only Raging Peanut displaying my solo songs at the Los Angeles Art Walk Event at Crown Cafe! Cory Pearman brought me up on stage to harmonize for a funny song about our favorite gal, Mary J. We started writing the song on Monday, finished it on Thursday afternoon, and performed it that night. Whew!

It was SUCH an honor to play for Bitter Sugar Musik at
the Art Walk Event for Crown Cafe in downtown Los Angeles!!
What a spectacular venue!! And wonderful people... the performers,
the spectators, and the staff!!! Whenever I turned around, I met
another awesome person!! Yay! Shanda and JEN! You rock my world.
JEN warmed up the evening with a jam session that blew us all away!
She found some very talented crowd members (just out enjoying
Art Walk, not planning to sing), and rocked her guitar
along with their vocals of audience-chosen songs. What talent.





Vince Grant invited anyone up to sing along with him, so
Jen and I did so and it was insanely fun!! Then Cory later
brought me up to harmonize on "Mary Juana" (a Raging Peanuts song
we JUST wrote a few days before the show! Click
to see a video of the first live performance!) -- WAHOO!

It was a merging arts kind of night-- my favorite!!

Lena-Marie and Buffy Visick and Her Mormon Organ also graced
the stage during Art Walk night. We had lots of laughs, moments
of awe, and beautiful artwork surrounding us all evening.

Crown Cafe, Bitter Sugar Musik and Art Walk ROCK!!!
