New York CITY!!?? Sometimes there’s nothing for it. You’ve got to have a dance party. And sometimes, no matter what moves Heather Lloyd may have, the little blonde chick steals the show.

Some pics from our performance at Urban H2O Pesky J Nixon warming up. It was an incredible weekend. Two really amazing gigs and a fun open mic, it doesn’t get much better. Oh – and we discovered a new hot sauce. It really DOESN’T get much better than that! I was wary of Urban H2O…

This is Heather after our morning coffee somewhere in Bringhampton, NY. You don’t want to see the before pic. Last night in Hammondsport was just marvelous. The weather was perfect for most of the evening and the audience happily persevered through the moments that weren’t. A gentle rain did little to dampen their enthusiasm and…

Recording mOsno is fun. Last night we were recording viola for his new concept album and even though we got really hung up on about 30 seconds of material as the temperature in my Lair climbed past 84 degrees and tempers frayed, I had a really, really great time. I Love performing. I also am…
