"Come Out" live in Charlotte
My friend Bill from Faith at Work videoed this from a concert following the EMC event in Charlotte. The song is "Come Out" from the new EP "Fill the Fields." I wrote this song about reconciliation and was specifically inspired by Amahoro, an African greeting in which people embrace and move from side to side as if to kiss each other on the cheek. They do it to let the peace between them flow. One of Brian's friends said, while he was in Rwanda, "When you've seen what we've seen and been through what we've been through, it just takes as long as it takes." So the ballad moves slowly too, to let the peace flow, for as long as it takes.
I'm only traveling with my MacBook and Motu interface. I play whatever keyboard is available with a midi port along the way, and so far no problems.

Collaboration
My friend Todd Berger is in the midst of recording and collaborating on a new Village Thrift CD. I wrote a few songs and he developed this one. I'm super excited to hear the finished version, but this is a really fun clip of some of the recording and some beautiful people in Cleveland! Check out villagethrift.com.

House Concert in Tampa
Oh yes, I am doing the electronica live in living rooms across the United States! We'll, it's exciting to me anyway. After the EMC conference in St Petersburg, I stuck around and shared a wonderful evening have dinner and playing music at my new friends Roger and Pam Sullin's house in Tampa. Roger is a wonderful musician and shared a few songs as well. They are doing amazing things with and through the production company they just started, Deer Pants Productions. Remember, the electronica EP is a digital release only...so any help spreading the word is greatly appreciated! Blessings, Tracy
