No Comments » Hello Lovelies,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! My new year has already hit full throttle, which is exciting and often pretty overwhelming. I’m paying my neighbor to play with my kids for 2 hours, so that I can tackle the most essential items, like this newsletter. If you want to learn to be more efficient with your time, HAVE KIDS. I’ve never been more productive, with any bit of time I get to myself.
The biggest thing I need to ask is that you take a few minutes to vote in the Austin Chronicle Music Poll. Suggestions below. The Jitterbug Vipers were number 2 Jazz band last year. WE WAN’T TO BE NUMBER 1!!!
http://www.austinchronicle.com/feedback/musicpoll/11/
JITTERBUG VIPERS: BEST JAZZ BAND; BEST AUSTIN BAND
SLIM RICHEY: ACOUSTIC GUITAR
BUFFALO SPEEDWAY: BEST ELECTRIC GUITAR
SARAH SHARP: BEST FEMALE VOCALS
MASUMI JONES: BEST DRUMMER/PERCUSSIONIST
MEAUX JEAUX: BEST BASS PLAYER
THINK LIZZY: BEST COVER BAND (Buffalo’s band)
ANDREA PERRY: BEST PRODUCER (Various/Kaliyo)
This makes a big impact on our booking, especially to be able to play outside of Austin and say we won something. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for voting. Please tell your friends!!
The 2nd most important thing is to make sure you know that I will be playing my own tunes ON MY BIRTHDAY - Jan 26 at Flamingo Cantina. This is a rare night of me PLAYING ORIGINALS and I will have th honor of doing it in-the-round with Ginger Leigh and Kellye Gray. I really hope you will plan to come. We play 8-10. Doors open at 7pm. $15 cover.
I just got back from meeting in LA with FirstCom, which has bought 27 songs from Andrea Perry & me since Oct 2011. We are starting to see lot’s of little placements… Regis & Kelly, Tia & Tamera, Access Hollywood… little nibbles. We are praying for a big bite!
We have had some more significant song placements overseas, ESPECIALLY in Poland – a very popular TV show called Przepis na ?ycie TVN has featured 2 different songs on 2 different episodes & the biggest, hippest clothing store in Eastern Europe: Reserved, used us in their Fall Women’s campaign. That’s our song Trapeze, on the link. Oh and Smart Cars used a song on the online TV show ‘Smart.Studio’ in this episode about Frankfurt.
The Jitterbug Vipers have a steady stream of great shows. Tonight we are at The Elephant Room. 6-8pm. If you haven’t seen us in a long time, we continue to get better. We are real band with our own culture and inside jokes… not just some people playing jazz gigs. It’s a big love-fest/party. You have to come check it out!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This Tuesday, I have a rare show playing originals at Momo’s. Details below. I’m honored to be the guest of Drew Smith and to share the songwriters in-the-round night with Drew, Graham Wilkinson and Jon Beckham.
The Jitterbug Vipers have great shows coming up in Houston & Austin and we are gearing up for our annual West Texas showdown. You should come spend New Years with us in the Desert! I’m quite fond of this self-portrait video shot at The Elephant Room on Nov 17. Check it out. The guitar and Slim Richey were both born in 1938 
There is a new FB page for my newest band – Kaliyo (kah – LEEyo), which is a duo with Andrea Perry. Andrea & I are about to deliver another batch of songs to Firstcom. I can’t wait to share them. We’ve had songs played recently on ‘ ‘Regis & Kelly’ and a lot of shows and ads in Europe. We usually don’t hear about these song placements until a new fan in another country finds us, asking for more songs.
See you soon!
