Wanted to let you know about a few things:

1) I am HUUUUUGE. But I have a reason...I am now 6 months pregnant and
continuously amazed by the kicking in my belly, which in the last week has become
visible, not just palpable.

2) You won't be able to see the kicking, I don't think, while I am behind my guitar
at this upcoming show (...if I can still hold my guitar, that is : ) This is a
fantastic line-up of talent that we're calling: Music, Poetry and Pizazz:
Spiderwise Press Release Concert and Attack of the Muses!

Music from 3 female-fronted bands/ singer-songwriters PLUS poetry interludes as well!

Here's the deets:

S.J. Tucker / aka Skinny White Chick

"First off, she can honestly sing like Joni Mitchell, no lie. With a swirl of
acoustic strumming to back her, Tucker lets her most important instrument shine,
that rich, sophisticated soprano voice of hers...."

Okay, so there you have it! Attack of the Muses!

3) Shows will be fewer and further between for me, most likely, as my due date
approacheth and my energy turns to preparing for this little person to enter our
lives. So come see us now! The 4-piece has been brewing up new songs and delving
more deeply into discovering each other's talents, tastes, and expression. It has
been awesome for me to get to know Jess, Brian, and Scott better all the time. What
a talented and self-deprecating bunch : )

4) There are a handful of new pics on the website
http://www.crystinbyrd.com/photos.html and you can now download "I Love...", the
song from Rolla Selbak's movie, "Making Maya," for free at

Hope you are all well and that your basements aren't flooding from 22 days of rain!

One of my favorite places of all time, (besides Le Mont St. Michel in France, of course), Cannon Beach is also where the debut CD photo shoot took place, oh so long ago; so it was pretty cool to revisit and remember the good, the weird, and the beautiful of that time.

Here is an ever-growing group of artists giving their sales to the Red Cross:
http://cdbaby.com/group/redcross]]> http://crystinbyrd.com/news.html#2 Thu, 01 Sep 2005 00:00:00 -0700 singer/songwriter - Crystin Byrd - News http://crystinbyrd.com/news.html#1 http://crystinbyrd.com/news.html#1 Wed, 31 Aug 2005 00:00:00 -0700 singer/songwriter - Crystin Byrd - News http://crystinbyrd.com/news.html#33 October Project's weekend workshop in Soho. It was a meaningful and expansive experience for me, and I'm so glad timing and lucky things allowed me to go. There were so many amazing moments, that I would have a difficult time synthesizing the whole thing...but perhaps the private concert in Marina Belica's loft, without microphones, without distance, was the most incredible. Marina's voice is so pure, so strong; Julie, also the lyricist, harmonized with her, and they would exchange loving looks throughout certain songs, communicating volumes, as though helping each other through the feelings that must come up while singing such songs with such grace. This was especially important for me to see, as if by their actions, I am given permission. Emil Adler backed them on electric piano, telling us definitively, "can't get in the way of the voices," when someone questioned his respectfully low volume. Wow, now there's a concept! Someone confident in their talent, and confident in their role. In heart-soaring moments, Emil would also join in vocal 3-part harmony with Marina and Julie...is it possible to lift and break the heart in the same moment? Yep.

Playing track 9, "Sing To Me," from my album, for one of my all-time favorite bands, was...well...as if my life had made a full circuit. I could kind of only smile and say, "ohhhh," when Julie hugged me afterwards and told me, "I am such a fan." I try not to be a star-struck girl, but...that was a moment I will never forget.

I special shout out to Michael Jonas a fellow attendee, and photographer, who took a few lovely pictures of me on the streets of the city. I will try to post those soon. And also to the others there - Dave and Irene, Beth and Ron, Charlie, Debbie, Judy. And to Emil Adler, Julie Flanders, and Marina Belica for sharing their gifts and their home with us. A fabulous group of people, and an amazing once-in-a-lifetime event.
