Here are some pictures:
We're the sixth down, performing for the Balance Rock Eatery & Pub.
Doing a sound check before the art festival started.
Getting ready for a gig the next day.
Us playing at the New Life Ministries booth. These people are AMAZING and have been so supportive of my writing.
Also, my mom is in the pink, playing the congas.
Another one.
Since N. L. M. supports the arts, they had wonderful dances, music and acting throughout the service--our kids absolutely loved it.
Plus, this church used to be a theater and it has THE BEST acoustics.
Here's a picture from a sound check at New Life Ministries. My mom played the drums with us here, too. If you haven't heard her play, you have to check out This Link.
The last place we played at was a family reunion for my mom's side. My family is so awesome!
We had the best time this past weekend. Thanks to everyone who came out to hear us play and have books signed.
This is a short video from a sound check before the arts festival.

Dear Elisa, thanks so much for sharing these photographs of your recent singing, playing, and signing. I only wish that one of these was a video and we could have heard you and Cade--and your mom--making music together. Well, maybe another time! Peace.
ReplyDeleteMy dad took a short video while we were doing a sound check. I just added that so you can see it :)
DeleteDear Elisa, thanks so much for adding the video!!!! You two make such lovely music together. Peace.
DeleteYou got your mom playing the congas? Classic!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your mom is a great drummer!!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome! What a great four days. Your mom is a killer on the drums.
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like a really awesome time, bet you mom would rock at donkey konga haha, that just popped in.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, this must be so rewarding and so much fun for you. And what a cool mum you have, she's great at the drums.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteYup, your family is awesome. Sounds like you had a ball.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm so proud of my mama ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteMusic is so much fun to share and to combine it with your writing and book sales is brilliant! Your mom is really awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun Elisa. Glad to see you all are having fun--and allowing us to enjoy your writing and music talents.
ReplyDeleteAlso, nice to see u playing at a covered venue as it looks like some raindrops fell at the festival in the video.
wow! very nice!!! congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteYou play that violin beautifully. I tried playing one but couldn't get the hang of it. There were no frets and the strings cut into my finger ends. That last bit makes me sound really soft.
ReplyDeleteMore! More! The clip was too short. Your mom is a very good drummer as well. How cool to be able to play music and sign books on the same gigs.

You're so lucky to be close to your family. My parents are gone and my brothers and I rarely speak. You and Cade always look like you have so much fun when you play together.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to read that things seem to be going your way, you certainly deserve them to, long may it last.
ReplyDeleteLove that your mom joined you and Cade! What an exciting time! I am so glad you are getting so much support and sharing your writing and music with lots of people! YEAH!
