NEWS AND BLUES IN 2011
I am excited to emerge with some material I want to perform this spring, after working on The Stars, the Moon, the Owl, the Cougar, and You, the past two years, having the release pushed back once and once again (finally will release in March!), and it was a difficult record to perform. Yep, I am still working on that pre-1924 blues album, though I want to put more time into it and have something else almost ready to show…
I have been writing for my next release for a long time, and have written some songs for it more recently that fit right in, feel right, and feel good to play live. I play at The Roxy in Los Angeles on February 8th, and a benefit show for Jacob Mingle’s Flannel release with Tiger Friends Collective at the Cozmic Cafe in Placerville on March 5th. Check the events for details!
I am co-writing a biography of Elizabeth Cotten with her great-granddaughter Brenda, who sang and recorded with her as a child. If you have been inspired or affected by Elizabeth’s music, please contact me and tell me how. The more the merrier, the more quotes and stories I have to choose from to include! I am really excited about this.
Still working this year on my film series, Roses for Maya Deren.
Most of all, Happy New Year to everyone, whether its Dine, British, Tibetan, Brazilian, Cherokee, Chinese, French, Mexican, Maori, or American… or however you may celebrate. Many blessings to you for 2011.
very best,
Brianna Lea Pruett
