Today, I spent a lovely day at NAMM with the music gearheads talking about amps and ogling fancy guitars and the LOTRs songbook for clarinet. I also caught a few bands, a demo from the audio engineer of the Foo Fighters’ recent album, and an insightful “Women in Music Sound Off” panel. I love conferences!
Next week is an exciting one for me, music-wise, with a couple faves on the docket; BRAVES making a very rare appearance Monday night at Bardot and my most beloved Dear Boy headlining The Troubadour Wednesday night.
