  • Bullettes on TV! And Selfies.

    The Bullettes had a wonderful whirlwind of activity last week and are gearing up for huge CD release on October 10th now. Please enjoy this television appearance of the Bullettes in Richmond on CBS 6 on Friday, September 18th as part of their morning show. Many thanks to the wonderful staff and crew of CBS for having us! We had so much fun performing on television. This was to promote or performance on September 20th at the Castleton Festival. Everyone was super helpful and I even got a selfie with Marlon Wayans! Way to go Bullettes!Bullettes on TV

    I’d like to thank Amy Bormet for having us back again for the Washington Women in Jazz Festival! I love this particular time of year, we see so many fantastic and talented women come out to perform. Amy has really built the WWJF into an amazing and high quality festival that everyone is still talking about throughout the year. I’m very thankful to get to play for the amazing audience at Westminster Church, one of the best venues in town. This year it will be the Bullettes Little Big Band with guests! I’m taking this opportunity to bring to light some of the amazing composition and arranging talent we have in this town. I’m also interested in promoting large ensemble music; too often, budget constraints keep people from putting large instrumental groups together. We’ll be premiering my arrangement of “Knives Out” (woo hoo Radiohead fans!) as well as the United States Premiere of “Wine Glass Perspective” by the great Australian composer Mace Francis. We’ll also be playing new original tunes by Todd Simon as well as Doug Pierce. I have three more charts on the back burner I’d like to get ready, if possible… We’ll see! We’ll be featuring Jessica Boykin-Settles on vocals as well.
