"In Jen Wood’s own words this album “…is about finding the light inside the darkest places of my mind and my past.” If there are any dark places scattered around here…we can’t find them. All we hear are smooth, intelligent, resilient, smart, upbeat modern pop songs from a young woman who obviously stands out from the pack." Baby Sue
Several years in the making, Find You In Love is the result of a gifted singer-songwriter writing the best songs of her career, a dynamic band and the right producer working together to create such a powerful and special album.
More About Jen Wood

"Alameda, sports a fluid lineup that crafts melancholy, atmospheric songs that teeter between folky simplicity and chamber-music lushness. Besides stepping up to the microphone, [Stirling] Myles has switched from bass to guitar; Alameda's debut EP, The Floating Hospital, reveals his hushed and tranquil songwriting, a solid core around which revolves the outfit's baroque yet stark multi-instrumentalism." Denver Westword
"Alameda's luminous, spare melodies suggest solitude without loneliness and the peace of fruitful introspection. Like the work of early Low, the latest songs from Alameda are soothing yet haunting and possessed of a delicate immediacy." Thomas Murphy

My Living Room Was Filled With Magic...

May 22 was an absolutely lovely evening.

Chef Brett, a friend of Roberts whom I'd never met, brought boxes of raw whole foods, fresh fish and home grown herbs and somehow transformed it all into a beautiful and nourishing meal in just over an hour. The website for Brett's Catering says simply what we absorbed through all of our intoxicated senses - "Food is a form of love." I highly recommend looking into using Brett if you're ever looking for a caterer.

It was wonderful to hear Aaron play - he gets the opportunity to so rarely. He had the opportunity to try a couple new songs and they were amazing. Robert's set was perfect - the way his bands instruments filled the space and the stories and images conjured up by voice within our walls - it was a gift.

I don't think we will have another Living Room Recital until fall -
I can't believe it's already been over a month and I have wished more than once that I could transport back to the last evening in a time machine. The time lapse between that night and this post illustrates the chaos that we tend to fall into during the summer months without the semblance of a schedule. Adding to the uncertainty - the future of our residence here is certain to end at an uncertain date. I hope that will be able to continue Living Room Recitals in the next home we're in or find a suitable home for it elsewhere. And last - this old house holds the summer heat on it's main floor, and though we don't have it now the sun could make it's appearance any time thereby making our living room an unpleasant place for 35 + bodies and amplifiers etc.

In the fall I hope for apple cider and a recital, see you then.

Aaron Sprinkle has been making music since he was in 6th grade. When Aaron isn't playing music with wonderful people (Fair and others) or hanging out with friends and family he is holed up in a recording studio helping other bands sound as good as they really are.



Robert Deeble's music has been described as "Wistful folk-pop, sparsely arranged, gracefully performed, and achingly beautiful to behold." His art is one that conjures such influences as Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake or likened to such contemporaries as James William Hindle or Josh Rouse.

Looking forward to spending a lovely evening with you!

A Fine First Attempt...

It was a perfectly lovely evening, for which I am so grateful, wonderful people and beautiful heartfelt music. Everything sounds better radiating across old fir floors.
When I go to hear someone play I love it when they tell stories, illuminate the melodies I've often already grown to love. Musicians tend to think that they make less sense than their lyrics when they open up in conversation - or perhaps feel a little naked when the magic multiplicity of possible meaning is removed as their hearts are revealed. Part of my dream for these nights is that they build community and support the artists in a personal way and it was so wonderful to be in the presence of the transparency of Brennan and Jenny, witnessing that the opportunity to be so was feeding them as it was blessing us.
The lighting was low and cozy - the room full of candles. Thusly I didn't get photos worth a darn, but here are a couple, though blurry, worth sharing.



Our next recital will feature Robert Deeble and a yet to be found second musician.
Here's Robert's website for you to check out in the meantime - mark May 22nd on your calendar and plan to share it with us!
