Hello from the insane mind of Geri X:

We are getting close to Christmas and even closer to the New Year.

Most of you know (if you’ve been watching my video blogs) that I will be leaving for a West Coast tour come January 20^th.  Not only is this an acoustic tour, but its solo, which means me by myself in the car with only my guitar and amp and the road. This is the first time I will be heading out on the road by myself and needless to say I am both excited and nervous.

You can never prepare enough for what might happen out there and the nature of the game of being a touring musician (or a musician in general) is that “what can happen, will happen”. I think we all know that from my track record this summer… With that said, I am fundraising again. This time it’s a bit different. I created a profile on KickStarter (a website specifically built to help projects get funded). The catch there is that at the end of the 30 day fundraising period if I haven’t hit the goal I don’t receive any of the money.

So, again, I am asking for your support in helping me hit the goal to be able to go out on tour a little less strapped and stressed. If the car breaks down, I’s like to be able to fix it, if a gig falls through, Id like to sleep in a bed instead of on a bench. Bottom line is, this crazy thing I’m doing, I’m doing for the love of music and the fans. I can’t do it without you. Whatever you can contribute would be greatly appreciated and rewarded. This fundraiser works almost like a guaranteed raffle. You receive something for each dollar donated.

Please, please, please visit this link: Kick Starter Geri X Fundraiser

Donate $1, $5, $20, $50, $500…whatever you can do will help me more than you know. This would be the greatest Christmas present yet if I can reach a goal for funding this tour.

Thank you guys for your continuous support and for having my back, I’m lost without you.

Love,

Crazy Geri X.

Its a typical rainy FL afternoon.

Greg and I are getting ready to head out to Orlando. Tonight we play for friends,among friends. Ed, who is a very special fan of ours, is not only that but a great friend. He’s invited us into his home, in his back yard, to partake in a pool party and later play some tunes for him and his company. It will be nice to have a low key gig. Those are great for exploring old songs and experimenting with new ones. Thats where inspiration is usually born for me. Chances are if you’re not paying attention, Im creating a new song. If you are paying attention, Im being good haha :]

Anyway,
the show at Fly Bar was great last night. Again, experimentation at its greatest. We played without our bass player ( miss you Stevem) so we had two guitars and drums, but it was fun and jazzy. Good company and good atmosphere. I love feeling free at shows. Its unfortunately in my nature to do the exact opposite of what is expected of me. I think my attitude has always been a struggle between rebellion and conformity.
We still did good and had a blast.

On our way out the door now, gotta get to O town.
You guys have a good saturday, go see a show, enjoy the art and passion that goes into a songwriter creating something for the pleasure of your ears-we all do it for you, and can’t do it without you.

Adios,

Geri X
