Aoede-Lis, Dave at Stray Bar 3rd Anniversary in SF, June 2009
Aoede-POP ROCK-News From the Muse-
JULY 2009".....as I find myself being whisked away by the sounds of Aoede I need a copy of Push and Pull in the house, in the vehicle, in the studio and in my head all the time. I've added this gem to my own personal favorite collection, but then you will too once you've treated your ears to this masterpiece! Just remember....A-E-D!"

Inspired, compelling stories of love, loss and longing spill out and take you, shake you, and wake you-emotionally evocative, intelligent, vocal driven *pop rock*...
Greetings:
HAPPY JULY to you! In San Francisco, outside you would hardly know it is summer-and yes, I LIKE it this way...Yes, I got yet another furlough day at the office thanks to the "Governator" but at least it means another day of rest and still not a layoff. My heart goes out to those of you who have not been so lucky, and I'm wishing you back on your feet and into some new shoes soon-as I've been told and am starting to believe-embrace all that comes to you-there's got to be good stuff that comes out of the seemingly bad...even if we can't always see it now. Take it all cuz it's all we've got-That was my fuel for writing a song entitled "High and Low." Thanks to the Stray Bar (and Bazaar) for having us last month-it was a hoot and good audience participation (see pics above and below).
We'd LikeTo Get to know you better brunch...or get re-acquainted!
Last month, I expressed interest in having an "I'm Glad I Got-to-Know-You!" Saturday brunch in San Francisco for our San Francisco Bay Area friends and fans during July and September- save the dates: July 25 and Sep 19th! Please email me if you are interested in attending and I will give you more details! For the July brunch, we will be performing at the Cannery in SF at noon so we will be brunching in the area before it. As always, I welcome email telling me more about you and what drew you to us.
Cool Stuff-check it out (sidebar) and let me know if you have stuff to include next time! and OMG, check out the quote on the top right! Is that cool or what?
CALL to Bay Area Multi-Media Artists, Other Musicians, and Film-Makers-lets make a community!
Another call to all you Bay Area artists who want to collaborate with us-send me email if you want to collaborate on shows of all types-it could be a gallery showing your art and music in the background-it could be a live works to music-lets get creative and try stuff that others haven't done yet! We're also seeking a multi-instrumentalist for out there gigs-let me know if this is you or someone you know...
AND after a long hiatus, we're finally getting back to the video for I Lost, You Win-excited to shoot some more footage and I'll keep updating you as we have more to say.
SHOWS
This month, we will be playing some great shows-acoustic and "with batteries" as I like to call it (thanks John!) If you are in the North Bay, please check out Aroma Roasters in Santa Rosa on Sat. July 18th, and Sunday Streets in San Francisco on July 19th-AND this month on WomenROCK: It's that time of the month again...join Aoede and special guest Rachel Rossos for some soulful originals while you sit in a cozy cafe sipping hot drinks. And are you a female artist and want to play at Bazaar Cafe on a future Wednesday?? Email me!
Stories Behind Push and Pull: the seeds for Don't Leave Me Here...as usual, these stories are just for you-thank you for making a connection! This may be one of the first songs I finished-originally written in 2005, the inspiration for the lyric came to me while journaling, while the melody came shortly after in-of all places-the shower! The melody and lyric evolved over a few years but the theme remained-it's mainly about the girl who is desparate to show her guy all there is in the world to live for...especially her. It takes place at the water's edge. You can hear it on the album- Track 8.
Huge thanks as always to YOU for reading and supporting and please write and update me! We couldn't do this without you!
