“Cosmic Love” Florence & The Machine Cover
“Weary Blues” - A little cover of Madeleine Peyroux’s version of the song via yours truly
I’m working on making unique, one-of-a-kind items to stock the digital shelves with, but for now I’m taking orders for customized, hand-drawn canvas flats! Most have been asking for their zodiac signs, but I can pretty much go with any idea you’ve got!! Support local arts!!
From time to time I receive postcards from a particularly awesome fan
Oh, hey! I almost didn’t notice you there! It’s been a while.. too long actually. I feel sort of silly about this internet silence I’ve been making. Funny, how you can create something by doing..nothing at all… anyways!
First, I’d like to illuminate for you what has been happening in the music world as of late. If you are just now tuning in.. it goes something like this…
1. My kickstarter was successful!! We raised the goal and then some!
2. After this glorious period of excitement, naturally, there has been a time of scrambling — putting together a studio and a team of awesome musicians, producers and engineers is serious business!
3. Alas, as these things often times go, it has taken a lot longer for me to round up the troops and get recording running smoothly.. as it turns out managing myself as a “solo” act all these years is a totally different game than managing and schedule drums, guitar, keys, bass, stand-up bass, violin, cello and loads of other whimsical instrumentation and their equally dreamy counterparts (a.k.a. musicians) This includes myself of course!! Managing myself alone is a full-time job in itself hah!
4. Do not fret, seriously…try to stay calm.. for me..because if you start freaking out then I’ll start freaking out and then it’s brown paper bags and security blankets the whole ride home. Nah..seriously though, it’s been a lot of work and at this point we should be layin’ down the bones of the album (drums/bass/acoustic guitar) a.s.a.p. This means video content flowin’ your way and loads of other goodies too!
5. Oh! Kickstarter prizes, I’ve been working on those too!! Along with studio stuff and getting rent paid.. I’m a very busy lady ;)
Feel free to be creative with your curiosity involving the album or just about anything.. go ahead.. SEND ME SOME SENTENCES ENDING IN QUESTION MARKS! The weirder, the better.
Until next time my loves,
-Arielle

beautycharms asked: Arielle,
HEY! its been a while but I was hoping you still would be able to perform at my birthday extravaganza :) It will be September 24th, and I am renting Slims (Mark told me you have played there, and were a HUGE hit)! let me know if we are still on. I am really looking forward to it! -and have a few song requests-
I’m really looking forward to it! What songs would you like to request? ;)
elfitch-deactivated20110913 asked: hi im lindsey, you follow my blog and im getting to know my followers :)
you have a beautiful, soulful voice... what is your favorite aspect of becoming an independent musician, and what was the scariest part?
Hey Lindsay :) I would have to say my favorite thing about being an independent musician is that I am able to do what I am most passionate about, write,sing, perform and create for others as a “profession”. The scariest part of that is the lack of security I suppose, it’s not a stable job so making a living means working long hours during the day/week And hoping my efforts lead to the career I feel I’m born for :)
Thank you for your question, I’m glad you are getting to know your followers :D keep in touch!!
