busy, busy, busy....as a little bee

I told you this fall was shaping up to be a busy one, right? Well, it's been a busy WEEK, planning for the busy fall season and I am giddy with excitement for what's next! This weekend is a private party on Saturday, but then Sunday afternoon (9/23), David Linaburg and I will be at Kudu Coffee from 2-5pm. David is a fabulous person and very talented guitar player and it will be a nice change for the cooler weather. I really look forward to my dates at Kudu...they're just so relaxing and it makes for such a great atmosphere for the music I play. Come out, bring your friends....enjoy your Sunday, for the modest price of a cup of coffee.

There's an art opening on
October 4th that's shaping up....more info on that soon. Tickets on sale soon for October 12th @ Modernisme Gallery. This one's going to be a great, acoustic vibe with new music and some new friends playing! The show will start at 8pm...so mark your calendars. On the "friends list" so far...Gerald Gregory (keys), Nathan Koci (flugelhorn + accordian), Kevin Hamilton (bass).

Did I mention that I'm planning to release my first 'Leah Suarez ' EP in November?! We'll celebrate the incredible artwork by Nathan Durfee
on November 3rd at his solo show, Celebrations of Stems and Clouds at Modernisme Gallery and then we'll really throw down at Theatre 99 on Thursday, November 15th!! Again, I ask that you "Remember, remember the 15th of November." (yes, I know it's supposed to be the 5th, but work with me here.)

This month has been concentrated on the EP Release. I have been in hands-on production mode, from mixing and mastering with Quentin to writing liner notes and working with Nathan on all the graphics. We have our release date, so now it's just pumping out the work before our order deadline of October 1st. I am getting more and more excited, but I am definitely feeling the crunch. There's always more than you expect....and I LOVE IT! It will be "me" for the first time....and for this not being the original intention for the fall, it's coming out better than I could have ever imagined. We are SO close to getting all the puzzle pieces together. Now it's just the final touches.....I'll keep you posted and I just hope that you'll really make the effort to support our effort by being at Nathan's solo show on November 3rd and my EP Release on November 15th. All of the work Nathan has produced for this EP will be on view and for sale at his solo show. It's been an incredible creative adventure that I can't wait to share!

paz y amor siempre,
Leah
