Coffeyville, Kansas

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Elaine Romanelli

5 days.  17 shows.  1, 300 miles from home. For one blissfully odd week, I got to roll out of bed and just play music, all day long. No booking, no chores, no indecision, not even much driving. Just playing. … Continue reading →

I got to spread love around recently. It was one of those get-more-than-you-give experiences. Long story short: I sold Valentine’s Day serenades. I wrote a wee little song, one chocolate’s worth, and offered to sing it, ‘live’ over the phone … Continue reading →

SF Bay Area!

Posted on February 26, 2012 by Elaine Romanelli

Final stop on the west coast tour: the San Francisco Bay Area. Home! (one of them.) Peri’s was the first show of the tour (thanks, Spirit Vibrations booking!). Cool dive-y bar in a decidedly not dive-y town in the North … Continue reading →

Back to Portland from Seattle (I know: weird. Worked, though.) Digression, before I forget: Portlandia! Have you seen it? Totally true, in its way. What the What, you say? I say, watch ‘Ordering the Chicken’, and then you will Understand. … Continue reading →

Totally unfair, pacific northwest. You have been rocking some serious sunshine, as if it’s always like this. You sunny, blue-skied liar. Listen: I’ve asked around. I know you’re true colors are grey and green. And yet, this… Got to play … Continue reading →

Portland! Part I

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Elaine Romanelli

Well, I got the behemoth duffel bag packed – barely! – and wended my way to Portland. Driving around, I noted immediately one downside of traveling solo. Hard to shoot photos and drive at the same time. Look! There’s Powells! … Continue reading →
