Appearing on The Jay Rossi Show in Cleveland, OH

On July 11, 2009 Jason and I made our second appearance on The Jay Rossi Project (the first being in July of 2007). Like in July of 2007, Jay held a special taped event at The Clevelander in Cleveland, OH where he invited several musicians, bands, and other forms of artists to appear on the show, perform, and be interviewed. It was crazy with everyone running around, but it was alot of fun in the end:) The event will appear on television on the Cox Cable Network (to where it recently moved up from being on the local Cleveland Channel, Time Warner 21) as well as on various areas of the internet. Here are a few photos from the event:

1.) Me in the makeup chair.

Scarborough Fair Music Video

Shooting the music video for the song "Scarborough Fair" off of my album, 'Poet' was probably the most difficult music video shoot to date. While filming the videos for "Run Away and Hide" and "Ashes to Dust" where time consuming and, at times, exhausting the video for "Scarborough Fair" really proved to be a challenge. There were three different makeup looks that I had and the video has a defined story to it. Trying to get in the scenes to make the video's story tie together was a challenge in itself but we got it:) Zane did an amazing job behind the camera (he worked with us on the "Ashes to Dust" and "Scarborough Fair" music videos) and Sabrina is an extremely talented makeup artist. All that's left for this video (and the "Ashes to Dust" video) is editing. The footage I've seen on both videos looks amazing and I'm looking forward to them being edited together very soon. We are currently working on the 'Ghost' music video (the 4th video from 'Poet') which will be co-directed by myself and Zane's brother, Adam. Sabrina will be returning to do makeup.

For now, here are some photos as a sneak peek at the "Scarborough Fair" and "Ashes to Dust" videos. Hope you enjoy:)
