It may seem like Fall in other parts of the country, but here in LA, we are experiencing a heat wave with 90 degree + weather. Aside from cooling off by the ocean, sitting inside air-conditioned rooms is where you will find me today, before I am Nashville bound for the Americana Music Festival!
What a whirlwind summer it has been. It was a great way to start the celebration of my birthday month with a concert! Thanks again to all those who showed up at Genghis Cohen to help me premiere “Pink Rose” a song close and dear to my heart. I had so much fun singing for you!

June was an action packed month! Rosander Music Studio’s students came together for an amazing recital. For the first time we played on a gorgeous Fazioli concert grand piano at Pierre’s Fine Pianos. Both the students and I were in heaven playing on it! Click to see pictures of the recital.
July brought my dear father’s 79th birthday and a big family celebration dinner. I’m so proud of my daddy! In August “Been A Long Time” was featured at the Sacramento Film & Music Festival. It was lovely to fly north to my hometown where we were interviewed on Capital Public Radio’s “Insight”. It was a blast bringing my dad (my co-star) and family to the screening at the Crest Theater and we brought home a winner! “Been a Long Time” WON the Audience Award at the festival, making it oh so meaningful!
I’ve spoken about how when we are aligned with our heart’s desires, doors are flung open and we take one step each day closer towards what brings us joy. Well, this month it is Nashville! Yep, as you read this, I am packing my bags for the last trip as I bid our Indian summer farewell and jump on a plane to the Americana Music Festival. Part of following my heart is having faith that my passion, my inner compass will continue to guide me closer to my goal of sharing my life’s work with you all. I will be bringing all of you with me in spirit to the festival and if you happen to be in the same neck of the woods, please don’t hesitate to reach out on FB, my twitter feed or here on the blog.
Love,
Christine
