I don’t consider myself an expert in many things. I do love a lot of things, but very few of them do I really have mastered, not even music. However, I am a certified, bona fide, double-rainbow expert in enjoying myself. I just got home from an evening cappuccino at my favorite spot and ran into some cheese, chocolate and a baguette before I got here. Now I have just enjoyed a delicious snack of bread and chocolate (completely inspired by Molly Wizenberg’s wonderful book “A Homemade Life”), I have a glass of cheap wine and Rickie Lee Jones’ “Pirates” on the turntable. It’s exactly fine and dandy. Who needs to play shows during SXSW, anyway? (she says, without a trace of bitterness or sense of failure in her voice at all).
Hey! Look at this! Watch more videos from the $2 Show at Art Authority on my youtube channel!

I’m quite proud of this.
Another one from the forthcoming record!

Conservation - Kait Berreckman
OH MY GOD. Someone* leaked the title track off my new record on to the interwebz. I am SO mad! But, I guess… since it’s already out there… you might as well enjoy it. ;)
*hint: her name starts with a K and ends with an ait.
23 years ago I started a habit of being difficult and impatient. I was born two months early with tiny lungs and under-developed everything else. I stood up for that mistake for two weeks in the NICU cocooned in saran wrap while my worry-stricken parents waited for me to get on the straight and narrow.
23 years later not a whole lot has changed. I’m not wearing saran wrap any more, but I still fight with my lungs and I’m pretty sure my parents still worry about me. So, I’m saluting my baby self today. You knew it, tiny me… waiting’s for suckers! I only hope I can remember this part of me that was chomping at the bit to get out into the world and live her life as I move into another beautiful chapter of it. That part of me that fights for her desires. Even if they’re a little dangerous, even if they’re a little unconventional.
Happy Birthday to me!
A very crowded stage at the late night show of Anais Mitchell’s folk opera, “Hadestown.”
A truly inspiring piece of work. I was absolutely transfixed by the writing and the harmonies… the story, as cheesy as this sounds, really did come to life. Check out the awesome recording on lala.com (or buy it, but if you’re cheap like me… lala).
The very special show I saw at Club Passim in Cambridge, MA featured the Micheal Chorney Sextet, Anais as Eurydice, Tim Gearan as Hades, Peter Mulvey as Orpheus, Kris Delmhorst as Persephone, Dinty Child as Hermes, and Rose Polenzani, Anne Heaton, and Melissa Meyers as The Fates.
