I'm not on tour at the moment, so I thought LUCI ON TOUR might need a little rest. Thank you Dave Akins for setting up that page so awesomely for me! So it's almost summer, my very favorite season of the whole year (how lucky are we that it happens EVERY year!!!) and I thought now was a great time to embark on a new blog. Obviously I've missed a little time since the last Luci On Tour post (August), so it probably isn't worth it for me to even attempt to catch everything up to date. I will start from now, and if a good story or memory arises as I'm reporting the present I'll be sure to put it in.
So, to start, I just got back from a trip to Mexico. Since none of my single friends are getting married anymore, they're all taking trips for their birthdays! That works for me, to helps me get my fill of seeing the planet. I went to San Fransisco with my Georgia girl Melissa for her birthday in October, and I went to Cabo San Lucas with my Chicago/NY girl Alison for her birthday last week! It was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Check out these pictures we took.

Happy Birthday Alison!
Ok, so what's been happening on the music front? Well, excitingly enough I have been writing! I love it! It is thrilling. I have been fortunate to work with a producer who is helping me record the songs so they sound a little better than I can do by myself, hooray. A myspace page is coming soon so you can check out the song drafts, see what you think. I still play with Moby on occasion, although he's touring now with 2 percussionists, no keyboards this time. His rock/blues band, The Little Death, has been playing lots lately. We performed at Sundance out in Utah, South By Southwest in Austin, TX, and many venues in NYC. And we have a show coming up on June 25th! It's a lot of fun.
Ok, so I've spent all day setting up this new blog. Now I'm itching to get on to working on a new musical idea. Here we go!
Love,
Luci
