summer's end, harvests to come

Published about 6 hours ago • 1 min read

Hi There,

I hope your summer has had its share of relaxation and revelry! I have some "what I did this summer" updates, and also some dates to save:

I'll announce it 'officially' in next week's pairing email, but I'll be performing downtown (NYC) October 16th, November 13th, and December 12th in a new super-intimate venue that I know you'll love. Tickets and details on the way...

Now to our catch up!

BEYOND...

The industry reading of "Beyond the Frame", my one woman musical show about the muses and models of Édouard Manet directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, was a success. We are on our way to our dream off-Broadway run...

Here's a few images of me, pianist/co-arranger Jeb Patton, director GT Upchurch, orchestrator/co-arranger Ted Nash and producer Cassandra Csencsitz enjoying a "still life spritz" after the show.

MYSTERY ALBUM UPDATE

I'm so excited to be getting back in the studio soon to mix the album we recorded in late spring. I'll save sharing the title with you for future posts, but those of you who've been exploring the terrain of wine and song these many years will be very pleased! ;)

Here's me, Ted Nash, producer Michael Leonhart and engineer Steven Sacco (captured by the lens of Dani Case.)

So much behind the scenes work! I can't wait to be in front of the scene and sharing it with you soon.:)

See you next week with some jazz & juice.

Truly,

Kristen

Hi There, Greetings to you from the air, en-route to California for some hybridized time with wine, art, and Ted’s family (more on them in a minute!) Lots of you know I’ve been developing my original one-woman musical show, “Beyond the Frame”, for years now. (It’s an exploration of Édouard Manet’s art through his muses and models, told through story and song.) Today, I'm thrilled to announce Gaye Taylor Upchurch is our director! Finding the right person to helm the show and bring it to the...

Happy Friday, Hope you're staying cool and feeling good. It's been a busy week over here -- overdubbing some solos for the new album in particular has been a highlight, we're really excited to start mixing it soon! I loved this week's pairing as you'll read -- and hope you do too. Juice When I bought my first bottle of this 2023 trousseau gris from Two Shepherds of the Russian River Valley, I thought I purchased an enticing domestic rosé that promised intrigue (and delivered). Then I bought a...

Happy Friday, Thanks to y'all who came out to Dizzy's this past Monday. I recapped a bit of what it meant to me to sing Weill's "Pirate Jenny" on Insta with a clip from soundcheck, if it's of interest.:) In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this week's pairing! Juice bleep When I see a label, emblazoned with neon, expletives, and a rounded sans serif font, I often expect a wine that’s a little rough hewn, on the fringes of the expected, and perhaps only appealing to a narrow audience.
