I had an absolute blast last week at my EP Release Party of “Past 10″ in downtown Sacramento, CA. It took a lot of work, and it was so worth it! I am grateful for all of the talented musicians including Arlyn Anderson (guitar), Samuel Phelps (bass), Mathew-Smith Gentry (drums), James Malone (keys), Brandon Dickinson (pedal steel), Byron Colborn (baritone saxophone), Anthony Coleman (trumpet), and Reagan Branch (saxophone). The cool thing is that most of those cats were the players who went in the studio with me. Also grateful for the artwork by Christina Wilkinson… we had a real cool pink theme going! There were many more people involved and not to mention the crowd was awesome. So anywho, I was definitely pleased and am looking forward to seeing where this album takes me =).</p>Emily Kollarstag:emilykollars.com,2005:Post/38480652015-09-09T11:00:57-07:002017-01-14T10:23:10-08:00#currentpersonae closed my EP release show last week and sounded...<img src="//41.media.tumblr.com/0ae8fc045bd19a03a3fe93ee381a1ce4/tumblr_nuf8plzwgw1rt33lco1_500.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><br><br><p>#currentpersonae closed my EP release show last week and sounded phenomenal!

His band sounded great, and another musical acquaintance, Mike Kelly, was playing the bass.
Later in the night, our group went to the coziest lodge up on the North Shore, enjoying the sunset and spirits. We were serenaded by an excellent singer/guitarist, who not only took requests but had a completely wireless set-up so he could walk around room.

Well that and the most important thing, friends.<br>It was one of those spur of the moment trips, where my friend was randomly in town and I hitched a ride back with him to Half Moon Bay. We were greeted by his lovely family. His wife is my best friend.<br>I made sure to run every morning, to soak in the coolness which was so disparate from the heat of Sactown. I trailblazed along the coast, seeking the most scenic ocean views, the most Redwooded paths. I found a Marine reserve, where half the beach was for people and half the beach was for seals.<br>On the third day, I finally got to surf. I couldn’t stop laughing as the waves crashed into me and overtook my body. It didn’t matter how much salt water went up my mouth and nose, I felt free in the ocean.<br>The next morning I went jogging and brought my camera. Along the path I kept stopping everytime I saw something too beautiful to pass up.<br>I am grateful for that time with friends, their laughter and generosity. And the change of location. I can still feel nature’s gift of serenity.<img src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/6761b83f3b03a859e82b8bfcf9287633/tumblr_inline_n87ox13HhH1rn4trw.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /></p>

Here is a picture of the tail end of the Latino parade on 12th street. I went outside to walk around the park, and heard a “neigh.” I contemplated whether a child could make such an sound. About five minutes later I realized I was not imagining things, when I saw about fifty horses as well as Corvettes and Impalas, mariachi big-bands, and Mexican princesses. I didn’t have my camera on me at the time, but maybe you’ll see it too. They are still marching eastward-bound. There’s something about an unexpected parade - I grinned ear to ear all the way home. Plus it reminds me of beautiful Mexico and joyous Latino culture. Between a breakfast of huevos con chorizo and the long train of horse-riders occupying my city street, I guess I got a double dose of my favorite culture for the day .</p>Emily Kollarstag:emilykollars.com,2005:Post/2292062012-10-09T08:52:56-07:002017-01-14T10:23:05-08:00What a fun gig.
