Upcoming Gigs and Other News

Dear Readers ~

I have been so busy writing, dancing and running that I have neglected my gig calendar. The first three months of 2010 have been full of gigs (mainly with other bands), the San Francisco Salsa Rueda Festival, a half marathon and freelance writing assignments (I write about music, technology and medicine, in English and Spanish).

It's been nice working with other bands, too, as I get to do what I love -- make music on stage -- but without the financial risk that comes with being a bandleader. Last week I was honored to play Yoshi's Oakland for Tito Gonzalez's CD release. And before you wonder why I didn't give you a heads-up, first, I apologize, and second, feel free to follow me on Twitter, or friend or fan me on Facebook -- I'm generally pretty active there and it's easier for this one-woman team to announce things that way.

I recently wrote a piece for MSN.com (not published yet) about women of Brazilian song, in which I interviewed Claudia Villela, Carol Saboya and Bebel Gilberto. That should be published in the next few weeks, but I'll also run longer excerpts from the interviews on my blog after the piece goes live.

Thank you as always for your support, suggestions, ideas and love!

Un abrazo,

Alexa
