Still......

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

...the rain is coming down! Los Angeles and San Bernadino Counties are really under the weather !! Snow at 3000 feet and floods down in the basin. Still the Gods aligned and we had a totally dry ride to Hermosa Beachand back last night! It was really fun and it was really wonderful to hear Jodi Seigel and Alfred Johnson jam together and trade songs.

There are a lot more storms coming and it is going to get dangerous up at the snow levels because the next storm on the 24th is going to have a lot of warm air.

For the week of the 24th, we will be hit with a powerful and WARM series of storms, as strong as any we've seen. This heavy warm rainfall will fall onto the newly laid snowpack and what will be totally saturated ground, especially in the burn areas of LA and will produce tremendous melting and runoff, and the potential for record flooding.

Due to the low altitude of the jet stream, 200 mph winds will slam directly into the Sierras, producing tornado strength winds over a 200 mile wide front. DON'T head to Mammoth for skiing when you hear about the huge snow fall in the first week. A friend of Scott's is a Navy weather forecaster and he told Scott that the military is moving assets east out of the way ahead of this storm. Planes and helicopters are migrating out of the coastal bases and into the interior bases of Arizona and Nevada. They're taking this very seriously.

This may sound alarmist, but websites I check related to weather modeling are using the word "Biblical" for this system.

If you can work from home or commute by train, please plan on doing so. The LA freeway system is going to be a mess for the next week or two.

Take care out there people!!!!
Love,
Lauren

Rainy Days......

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

.....Rain all day.....

Hello everyone. I am at home in L.A. during a huge Pacific Rain Storm. What fun! It doesn't rain here in the"deserty" terrain of Los Angeles so when it does it is most welcome. A little thunder and lightening helps to set the mood. Yep, the mood to write songs! I am in writing mode today and hope to come up with some good stuff for ya'll. I am also hoping that the people here in the burn areas are faring well and that the mudslides are not harming them.

Not touring much lately but still have my gigs in L.A. and love playing with my band here at home. I hope your new year has started off well.

Please remember to help the people of Haiti if you can. They are in horrible distress and need help. We are not on this earth to judge, to isolate or to blame anyone for such a horrible disaster. Please look into your heart and donate through the Red Cross or another reputable agency. With your help and resources, the people of Haiti can be saved to rebuild their lives and homes.

I hope to see you at a show or on the web next month at Kulak's! We are going to have a regular FOLKFEST on teh 26th! www.kulakswoodshed.com

All the Best,
Lauren

Hello Thursday!

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Well, sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I've just been so busy! I had a lot of local shows last week and they were all really fun. I have to say though that the most fun was playing at the Braille Institute in L.A. on Monday! What a great crowd! they love to dance and song along, ask questions about the instrumentation, all the teachers come in and eat their lunch during the show. It's sooo fun!

I'm looking forward to a little time off from live shows after this Saturday night at Cafe Muse, until October...maybe some writing in store?

BTW - If you have never been to a House Concert...I highly recommend it! It's great for the fans, great for the artist and great for the universe! Here's a video for you to watch and see how it's done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC-9Xbn5Smo I have one coming up in October in Newbury Park, CA and can't wait! it's always so intimate and fun! New friends, new fans, great food and 2 full sets of Lauren Adams! You, know I am going to be in Ft. Lauderdale, FL for most of December so...let's do it!!!

Thanks for keeping indie music alive!!

Hey all ya'll. Had a great weekend! Hope you did too. I had a really wonderful show at Kulak's Woodshed in No Ho. I am so grateful for the people I get to play music with - Nick Kirog, Mark "Pocket" Goldberg, Debra Dobkin and sitting in on Pino-Phil Parlapiano. Everything just melded so nicely and I just had a fantastic time. I posted some vids on youtube and Facebook. Phil opened the show with a great set with the band too and the circle - Karen Tobin, John Pawlak and Dean Dobbins were xtra nice. Thanks again to Paul Kulak and don;t forget toe tune in to their free webcast at www.kulakswoodshed.com
