Java Joe's 6/17 Special Show + Alive SD video

This Saturday's Java Joe's show will be a quiet, intimate acoustic night, showcasing vocals, songwriting and the artists/songs that have influenced my music over the last 20 years.  Featuring guitarist, Deane Cote, we will perform a set of my original songs from the first that I wrote to more recent explorations, followed by a set of songs that have provided me endless inspiration. 

I'm really looking forward to sharing them with you!

And, if you didn't know, the NEW Java Joe's has a summery outdoor stage

in the heart of Old Town, San Diego. All Ages.

I was honored to be the first artist featured on Listen Local Radio's 

Alive in San Diego program's new location at San Dieguito Heritage Park in Encinitas, CA.

Watch the interview by Cathryn Beeks below with a live cut of "Kiss You Goodnight."

New Episode out!! Don't mess with Nena Anderson!

A singer songwriter, honky tonk, blues and Americana chick that suggested we drank whiskey in the mid-afternoon. We tell the truth on what can happen if you drink too much carrot juice, talk about turning fan letters into songs and compare Damian to a giraffe that looks like Prince. We drank Bulleit Rye with Bundaberg Ginger Beer.

Interview by The Artist Odyssey

I've been working with this amazing project over the last year called The Artist Odyssey. They interview fine artists, actors, filmmakers, musicians and artist demos, etc...then present them to you via video (like Iconoclasts or Inside the Actors Studio.) Today, they are the featured Kickstarter campaign! Subscribe for as little as $5 for access to videos, events and more and they will provide a FREE subscription to the school of your choice. So in addition to great programs, you're also providing arts curriculum much needed in our education system.

KPBS-FM Interviews Nena Anderson

Via KPBS.org site: "KPBS Midday Edition speaks with Nena Anderson about her creative process, her first record and the challenges of being a musician today. 

Whether she's playing solo shows or fronting her band, The Mules, Anderson is known around town for her lush, bluesy country-and-jazz-tinged vocals (think Neko Case meets Billie Holiday) and commanding stage presence. Last fall, Anderson released her debut record, "Beyond The Lights," which showcases her infectious blend of the blues, jazz, country and Americana. It's thoroughly modern music with lots of vintage charm."

Thanks to Host, Maureen Cavanaugh and Production Asst. extraordinaire, Claire Caraska for a great interview!
