MARIA SEBASTIAN NEWS 2010: Had a fine summer, and thanks for all of the new and long-time friends who have come to listen this season. You have really loved my latest CD, I can tell, because the feedback has been a career highlight. Thanks sooo much for that. New with me? I look forward to John Prine and Todd Snider this weekend at Governor's Island, and seeing Gurf Morlix at the Sportsmen's Tavern on 9/26. There are some great concerts coming up, including my visit with 10,000 Maniacs this weekend. We're playing in Connecticut, then no more trips until spring, unless I decide to take a couple of day trips here or there. The best way to support your favorite artists is to share their CD with friends, so I invite you to do that and to sign my new guestbook with your feedback on whatever you'd like to comment on. Keep it musical, please! 9/7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to all who have purchased my CD, Yellow Envelope, this year. They are selling well and with strong reviews. I hope there is a song for each of you :). 4/23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Visitors are learning my songs so that they can back me up on my own music for some upcoming shows. :) 3/28 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been an interesting year so far: I sang the Ch. 2 Daybreak show jingle and also sang backups with the 10,000 Maniacs (adding rhythm guitar too) with the possibility of more shows. With a 3-week spin like that, I should have my own talk show by the end of 2010! ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009: Thank you to voters and the Buffalo Music Awards for the second consecutive Original Acoustic Solo award -- 2009! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to Buffalo Spree for the 2009 Buffalo Spree Best of WNY music award for my CD, Yellow Envelope! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 18th: In From the Cold (my former band with Gary Mallaber and Jack Sherman, 1996-2001) had a song placed in a Melrose Place, season 5, Ep #14 rerun. ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new CD, Yellow Envelope, is done! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008: Thanks for the Original Acoustic Solo category at the Buffalo Music Awards this year! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "On the Run" a song produced by Nelson Starr, written by Michael Gordon, and performed by Nelson Starr and I, has been used for the second time in a recent film. Funny: We don't even know what film it was, but does it matter? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to a recent interview during the Morning Edition hour on 88.7fm - WBFO, Thursday, May 1st at 6:35am and 8:35am.
