No Sour Grapes 🍇
These first shows performing live solo, trying new things, figuring it out in real time. It really means a lot to me when I see familiar faces coming out to support. If you were at City Winery last Monday and I missed you, thank you so much.
Three days ago, “I Love This Song” came out. It features John Swana on trumpet. It’s on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon, YouTube Music. Wherever you listen. It’s there.
Stream it. (stream here) Play it twice. Hit save. That helps me get more reach on the platform to new listeners.
Now. April 9th. The Grape Room. I need to talk about this one.
The Grape is where I played my first show as Cookie Rabinowitz. Over ten years ago. So many changes since then. Some good, some not so good, all part of the journey. The last time I played the Grape Room’s main stage, I was mid performance and got a phone call that my house was on fire. By the time I got there, my studio was gone. Most of everything I owned was gone, My room mate was in the house and barely got out as he was trying to find the cats, sadly they didn’t make it.
I came back to The Grape after that. Played a residency upstairs on Saturday nights while the featured acts were on the main stage downstairs. But April 9th is my first official show on the main stage since then.
I’m not telling you this for sympathy. I’m telling you because in a little over a week. I’ll be back on that stage. New show, new songs. new label deal. Songs on every platform. A completely different life built on top of the ashes of the old one. And I don’t think I’ve fully processed what that’s going to feel like.
April 9th. The Grape. 8:30 PM. I’m opening for Michael James + OE.
See you there.
Cookie
