Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I am so happy to announce that I have taken over hosting duties for the monthly West Coast Songwriters - Hollywood Showcase @ Genghis Cohen!

The next showcase is a canned food rive for the holidays on Wednesday December 10th from 7-9pm!! All ages $8 cover ($2 off if you bring a canned food item)!!!

We have some amazing performers to round out the year including: Marilyn Mosher, Jesse Nova, Matt Oloffson (No Darling), Abby Posner (Abby and the Myth) and me, your host, Elyse + the Aftermath featuring Michele Aristy on Bass and Matt Oloffson on Cajon.

Can't wait to showcase such great talent and give back for the hollidays :)

A few months ago I had the pleasure of playing an awesome showcase at the Gibson showroom in NYC!
I am thrilled to be a part of the Jimmy Lloyd Songwriter's Showcase family!!! Thank you to everyone who was a part of that special day in late July.

Jimmy has amazing crew of people working with him and I couldn't be happier with the result. Thanks again to Jimmy Lloyd for having us on the show and for giving me the very last Belgian dark chocolate caramel at the Belgian Consulate Mansion a few years ago at a Grammy party.

So, here is the only love song I've ever written. It's called "Stereo Kisses"  :)

Take a look and listen---- then go kiss someone you love or miss ;)

4 Lips = Stereo Kiss

Out of the ashes we have just completed a video shoot for our next single, "House of Cards". With a dream of shooting in a house with the roof blown off and a crew of friends, we magically we able to find a house demolished in a fire top be the set of this video.

It was an incredible day--- complete with a mysterious disappearance of my dress I was wearing in most of the video. Thank you to Matt Dinan, Tony Mercado, Dylan Mercado, Jon Brunner, Juli Tang, and Daisy Rock Guitars!

Can't wait to start editing and we're hoping to release this one around Halloween! Get ready!

Here's the first still of the shoot :)
