photo shoot!

Dear dear blog reader,

It’s been too long!  Anyway, I hope things are going well with you.  I had a really fun photo shoot last week with Grayson Dantzic ( www.GraysonDantzic.com) down in Red Hook, Brooklyn.  I’m attaching a couple images from that here.  If you need some photos taken, Grayson’s the guy to do it!

Gonna be interviewed on Boston University’s WTBU (89.3) this coming Friday morning at 10am and playing in Cambridge, MA at 7pm that night at the Lily Pad.  Would love to see you there.  That’s all for now.

Happy early Thanksgiving

Hi Blog Reader,

 Tonight's blog is going to be more visual than verbal.  Here are a couple of pictures from last night's show at Piano's.  Thanks so much to everyone who came to the show!!

Halloween!!

Dear Blog Reader,

Right now I'm supposed to be getting dressed for a halloween party but I thought I'd write to you instead.  It's snowing here and it's effing cold and it's going to take considerable effort to leave the house in heels.  This year I'm going as Lisa Vander-whats-her-name from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  I wont lie, Blog Reader, my costume is half-assed.   But I'm going to a party at some old friends' house and they will accept my so-so costume without judgement. 
This past week I was down in Philadelphia mixing my new record with the very talented Pete Donnelly.  It's sounding great and is one step closer to being done.  Soon I will post the new songs online.  You're getting very sleepy...soon you will buy several thousands of copies of my new CD...
Anyway, I better get ready for this halloween party.  Oh, my band and I are playing in Philly tomorrow night ( Sunday, 10/30/11) at 9pm at the Triumph Brewing Company.  Come on by.  It'll be fun

Hi blog reader,
In an attempt to join the 21st century and to streamline and link all my social media outlets, I've created a facebook music page.  Please visit it and "like" it. I'll be posting all the latest info on shows & the new record there and here. https://www.facebook.com/Jessiekilgussandradiogold

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I'm attaching a picture I took in Providence, RI on Wednesday.

Art Start benefit party this Friday 9/30/11

What's goin on, Reader? 
You've probably heard me talk ad nauseam about Art Start at some point.  It's an amazing organization that I've been volunteering with for the past three years, helping to teach art & music workshops to kids in homeless shelters.  Art Start provides a vital outlet for the kids they serve and I love volunteering with them.  I'm also excited that I'll be performing with my band at their benefit party this Friday night.  It's at Manny's on Second: 1770 Second Ave.  The event starts at 8pm and I'll probably be performing sometime around 10pm.  If you can't make it to the event but would still like to support Art Start, you can do so online through their website: http://art-start.org/support/donate/
Also, Bill Cosby is hosting their next fundraiser at Town Hall on Oct. 13th.  Who doesn't like Bill Cosby!

PS  I'm attaching another picture from my Ireland trip.  It's the edge of the cliff ( 300 ft drop) near Dun Angus on Inish Mor.

Mississippi Riverboat

Dear reader,
Today I'm in a bit of a rush so am just uploading a picture and a brief note.  I took this picture off the back of a riverboat on the Mississippi River in New Orleans earlier this summer.   I love New Orleans. Such a vibrant city with incredible people, music, culture and history.  I'm sure it's haunted.  New Orleans inspired two songs on my upcoming record: "Riverboat Gamblers," and "Easter Morning, New Orleans"... Went all the way to Ireland to record songs about the American South : )
Anyway, that's all for now.
