Marci Geller shows in March starting this weekend!

Hello Lovely Listeners,

There are hints of Spring...and yes, that makes me happy!!! There is SO much going on, so I'm going to get right to it.

THIS weekend, March 10th & 11th I have two really amazing and interesting performances. The first one is Saturday night up in Saugerties, NY at the famous John Street Jam. My friends, this was booked almost 2 years ago and I'm very excited about it. Basically, there are two song circles with four artists in each round. We swap songs for an hour, take an intermission and then the next round starts. It's a really cool way to really hear the "song" in it's purest form.

Sunday, March 11th I am participating in a very unusual show called Artspace the Musical. This was the brainchild of the amazingly talented and creative folks at Heartworks International. The premise of the show is a group of musicians (myself included) were given a choice of artworks that were submitted by local artists. We were then posed with the challenge of writing a song inspired by the piece of art we chose, so I will debuting my song "High On That Hill" inspired by piece #18 around 3:45pm.

A VERY FRENCH CONNECTION
MY FIRST NYC SHOW IN OVER A YEAR!!!

Ok, my tri-state friends asked for an NYC show, and now you'll receive! On Sunday, March 18th, 2012 at 3pm I have the extreme honor and pleasure of performing with world renowned French cellist, Jean-Philippe Martignoni at the famed Metropolitan Room!!!!

JP and I met in Switzerland last summer and we had an instant musical connection. He will be performing at Lincoln Center that morning and then coming downtown to perform with me. Joining us will be the wonderful Marshal Rosenberg on percussion and rumor has it there may be another special guest....I'll let you know as we get closer. I'm so excited about this show, I'm busting! (If any of you are coming as a group, they have a VIP ticket that includes a private table, open bar, appetizer & gratuity!)

At the end of the month, I'm heading south to perform at the Singer Songwriter Cape May festival on Friday, March 30th at 10:15pm. This is my first official showcase since going solo again, so I'm pretty excited about this too!

Thank you....to all of you who came to all the wonderful shows in February. I'm feeling the love my friends and I send it all right back to you! Here's some stuff from February for you to take a gander at:

Celebrating Love & Groundhog Day With Marci....

Hello Lovely Listeners,
I have to say, winter has been very, very kind for the most part. I still admit to getting the occasional seasonal blues, but music is keeping me happy and productive. There are lots of shows and news to share with you, so I'll cut right to the chase...

COMING UP:
THIS Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 7:30pm, I am spending the evening at Watercolor Cafe hoping beyond all hope that the Groundhog didn't see his shadow that morning...oh, and making sweet music with percussionist Marshal Rosenberg. Joining us that evening will be the magical Nenad Bach Band-a show not to be missed!

For all my eastern LI friends, Sunday, February 12 I couldn't be more tickled than to be once again opening for the remarkable Vance Gilbert at University Cafe, right in my hometown of Stony Brook, NY.

The following evening, Monday, February 13th I'm driving up to Peekskill, NY to be the featured act at the Beanrunner Cafe as a special guest of my beautifully talented and clever friends The YaYas.

Rounding out a short month with lots of gigs, I'll be back on the island headlining at BACCA in Lindenhurst. My very special guest and friend from Australia, Kath Buckell will be opening the night.

Details for all shows are below and Facebook events are on my fanpage.

And if that weren't enough:
I'm very honored to have been selected by Alternate Root Magazine to be in the running to appear on their annual Valentine's Day Sampler. In order to make it onto the sampler, I need your help.

If you can please go here:

and VOTE for my song "Gotta Love That Man," I would really appreciate your support. Just think, if I make it onto the sampler, YOU can get a free download of my song, as well as downloads of the other artists included!

Lastly, here's a little video montage of the shows from January:

Wishing you all chocolate kisses, roses and lots of love,
Marci

January 2012 Newsletter-First shows of 2012 coming up this weekend!

Hello Lovely Listeners,
I hope you all enjoyed a festive and stress free holiday season. My husband Gian and I were in New York for New Years Eve for the first time in over a decade and since we didn’t have a party to go to, I decided to create our own party….on a webcast! I was challenged to see if I could write one last song in 2011, and I finished it the day before and was then asked if I would webcast a live debut performance of it, which I did! It was lots of fun and was my most attended webcast so far. You can watch a replay of it here:

If the Ustream doesn't work on your computer,
you can also watch it on YouTube

I have to admit, after playing it this past Monday at the Jack Hardy Songwriter’s Exchange, I got such great, constructive feedback, I’m now working on a re-write (and a new title!), but the broadcast was fun and a really inspiring way to start off the new year.

If you've been missing out on the webcasts, be sure to click the "Like" button on my Facebook Fanpage or, become a member on my website and make sure to include your cell number carrier to receive text announcements. I don't want to send out a newsletter every time we webcast, it would be too overwhelming for most of you.

COMING UP:l
My first shows of 2012 are coming up this weekend and they’re both new venues for me which is very exciting! Show details are below where it says Upcoming Shows. I will also have a special guest with me for both shows. The wonderful Marshal Rosenberg from Buskin and Batteau Trio wil be playing percussion and offering all around good energy. I can’t even tell you how honored I am and thankful for this opportunity! Aside from BBT, Marshal has performed with: Tom Rush, Aztec Two Step, Barry Manilow, Peter Allen and more!

This coming Saturday, 1/7 we're driving all the way north to Gansevoort, NY, which I'd never even heard of before booking this show. The series is called the Saratoga Connection House Concert and you do need a reservation to get the address. I'll be sharing the evening with my good friends Jody Wexler and Lori Schneider who make up a fabulous duo called Crystal Rose.

On Sunday, we head northeast to perform at a Coffeehouse series called the Piedmont Percolator in Somers, CT. Also performing is Dan Stevens whom I have heard great things about! It will be nice to see some of my CT friends again!

I look forward to a prolific, musical, happy, healthy journey with you in 2012!

Wishing you all hot soup and hugs on cold nights and the happiest of new years,
Marci

Buh Bye 2011, Marci's last rant of the year.

	Marci Geller

Dearest Lovely Listeners,
I decided to send this December newsletter later in the month to be closer to the holidays. All I can say is, wow, we did it! Together we traveled a year like no other and I remain completely humbled and grateful for the support, belief, enthusiasm and kindness so many of you have shown me.

I considered doing sort of a "Year In Review" and overwhelmed myself. It was however, good for me to see how much progress was made, because in all honesty, the lack of sun this time of year sometimes has me questioning myself (the sun as well as the ever-popular carb fest that starts Thanksgiving weekend!). I forgive myself for small digressions and also feel really proud of the work that was done both personally and professionally. I credit so many of you for helping me to find that path once again, and to stay on it. I hope you know how much I appreciate every single one of you!

CHECK OUT RECENT PERFORMANCES:
November was an amazingly validating month:

Last Licks was so filled with joy. Not only did I get to share the evening with my wonderful friend Barbara Kessler, but so many friends from High School surprised us as well as my former Lucky 13 bandmate Cathy Kreger who sang on the last song with us (which sadly didn't get recorded because the battery died on the camcorder half way through the song before it ) We did get this new one at the top of the set for you:

The Bread Box was packed and I actually got to sing with the talented Hugh Blumenfeld and his wonderful band. I really wanted to share this song because it is so special in that it was written as part of a songwriting challenge given at NERFA. Check it out:

NERFA was exhausting and exhilarating as always and filled with moments that had a huge impact on me, like a three hour conversation with Marshal Rosenberg from Buskin and Batteau Trio the morning after they hosted me. This was recorded at 2am at NERFA:

To cap off the month, I was generously invited by Buskin and Batteau Trio to sit in with them at the Folk Society of Huntington. What an incredible honor:

In closing...

If you want a sneak peak of the songs we've mixed so far for the new CD, check out the music player on the bottom left corner of my website, or the Music page on my website.

I am so filled with gratitude for each and every one of you and wish you all the merriest of holiday seasons and a happy, healthy, beautiful New Year!

With latkes, candy canes, menorahs and Christmas Trees;
Love and best wishes,
Marci

A Thankful November! More concerts, Conferences, Video and More!

	Marci Geller

Hello Lovely Listeners,

As I sit here writing, I am feeling incredible thankful for this crazy roller coaster of a year. I started out with so much trepidation about the future and now look back on a year filled with fabulous shows, grand accomplishments and most importantly-all of you! You all give me the inspiration and fire in my gut that encourages me to keep making this music and to keep sharing it, so thank you from the bottom, middle and top of my heart.

COMING UP:
I will be heading up to Kerhonkson NY for my very first solo appearances at the 2011 NERFA Conference. If you're planning on going and would like to catch me, my schedule is below under calendar listings.

I have three shows rounding out November that I'm really excited about. First I'll be back at the Breadbox in Willimantic, CT on Saturday, 11/19 opening for the wonderful Hugh Blumenfeld! Next next day I will be performing at WHUD's Chocolate, Sweets & Holiday Treats up in New Windsor, NY.

Winding down the weekend of gratitude, I couldn't be more excited to be back at Last Licks in Huntington on Saturday, 11/26, with my very special guest and dear friend and former High School mate, the fabulously talented Barbara Kessler!

CHECK OUT RECENT PERFORMANCES:
Lots of videos to share from last month of various performances. Here are two:

A new one for you all! Driving in Manhattan performed at the
4th Annual Patchogue Arts Festival


Day Without the Kids performed at the same festival.

Some nifty performance photos by the incredible Neil Tandy from Image Photographers:

Me	Love this shot of Warner!
My amazing husband Gian after the festival celebrating his birthday at Chachama Grill (which was fabulous btw)

THE CD:
This past weekend was spent with my friends Warner Cook, John Tabacco, Donna Heitner, Honor Finnegan and Gian DiMauro my hubby and engineer extraordinaire recording background vocals. The whole process got me so giddy, I found myself jumping and dancing around like a little kid. I guess when one is moved to such silliness, you know you're on the right track!

If you missed the webcast, you can view it HERE with the password FollowMarci and definitely let me know if you dance around a bit!

I've been a bit passive about my fundraising efforts for the CD. Honestly, I've never been comfortable asking for help of any kind and money makes me especially squirmy. The reality is, without further funding, I'm going to have a beautiful CD with no way to get it out to you. Many have urged that I start a Kickstarter campaign or something of that ilk. Can you give me some feedback? It would be really helpful as I try to sort this all out.

And yes, the magic donation button still works if that is comfortable for you:

I was so inspired this month, I revamped my website...let me know what you think!

A big thank you to Kathy Milar at WHUD for the fun interview she did on 10/28/11.


Wishing you all an infinite number of blessings to be thankful for.....
Much love and gratitude,
Marci
