Hi Kids!

I am so #$%ing excited for my triumphant return to Frank's hometown for a show TONIGHT (May 8) at FitzGerald's! Due to scheduling conflicts with the Chicago rhythm section, I'm bringing in my fantastic San Francisco band featuring Jude Gold on guitar, Jon Herrera on bass and Donny Baldwin (Jefferson Starship) on drums. Also on deck will be fellow rock goddess, Anne Harris. The last time I played at FitzGerald's was 2007. I also played the piano with my weyha that night, so... I'm just sayin'. Absolutely anything can and will happen as history will attest. It's on like awesome sauce.

The Jefferson-Grisman Project, a historic collaboration of the Jefferson Starship and David Grisman, kicks off their US Tour with a special Northern California appearance at Sonoma County's hot new music venue the Abbey at HopMonk Tavern.  Tickets for this special standing-room, one-time, electric/accoustic performance on Saturday, April 11 are on sale now at www.hopmonk.com[http://www.hopmonk.com .  Tickets are $50 general admission and $65 with a show audio down load.

The Jefferson-Grisman Project will be making select appearances on the East Coast this spring.  Grisman will be performing with Jefferson Starship and will highlight some of the material that made him a hero in the jam-band genre including Friend of the Devil, Mill Valley Waltz, Pigeon Roost among other songs from his DAWG songbook, as well as new material from the Jefferson Starship's Tree of Liberty release and other classic Jefferson Airplane/Starship songs.

Jefferson's Tree of Liberty, Jefferson Starship's first album of the 21st Century, sounds the clarion call of protest and social conscience - harkening back to founder and leader Paul Kantner's Woodstock-era Jefferson Airplane anthems. Kantner remains at the helm of Jefferson Starship on the group's new album, Jefferson's Tree of Liberty, which finds them breaking new ground by digging deep into the classic folk tradition.

In addition to Kantner, whose 12-string acoustic guitar graces many selections (he plays banjo on a handful), key group members on the set include multi-instrumentalist David Freiberg, co-founder of another legendary Bay Area band, Quicksilver Messenger Service, that shared many a Fillmore bill with Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead; vocalist Cathy Richardson, former star of the hit Off-Broadway production Love, Janis and a mainstay of Chicago's rock scene; keyboardist/bassist Chris Smith (a Jefferson Starship stalwart since 1998) and drummer Donny Baldwin.

Hello Darlings! I'm writing ...

Hello Darlings! I'm writing to you from Cafe Petra in San Francisco where I am enjoying a steaming, delicious cup of coffee, free wi-fi and shelter from the rain.

I am not sheltered, however, from the man who now shares my small table and is vigorously eating a sandwich in an uncomfortable proximity to my face.

I've really been enjoying being home but I've had two months off now so I'm ready to get out and play. And I am SO excited to announce a show so close to Chicago with my gorgeously talented band. That is, Anne Harris, Fran Kondorf, Rich Stitzel and moiself- at the Acorn Theater in Three Oaks, MI just 90 miles north of Chicago.

I really appreciate your coming out to our shows so that we can continue to annihilate you with awesomeness. It truly is a win-win.
