The Live Version...

So in keeping with my New Year's resolution of having more fun, I dropped everything, scooped up one of my BFF's in Philly and ran up to New York City for a night of wine and music!

We had a great time and got to see the amazing John Forte play at the City Winery. He had invited me earlier in the week to come and see him perform the song that he had written, inspired by one of my paintings. (For that story click here!) Obviously, I was super excited to see him play it live and was floored by the whole experience. Having only heard a studio version- which was haunting and beautiful, it was crazy to see it played live, not just by John but by his whole band. For lack of a better word, they jammed the hell out of it! It was so fun to see the band and the audience vibing and getting into it. Witnessing what started out as a very private and personal artistic exchange, being shared with a bunch of other folks was really a beautiful and inspiring experience!

Thanks John! xoxo

By the way, the City Winery is an amazing place to eat drink and see some live music! Go if you get the chance!
