Adam & Mia at Starr Art Space, Bushwich, NYC April 11, 2009

Going Forward by Adam & Mia

One of the hardest things to do is to write a simple honest love song. This one is about longing to be with the person who is dear to your heart. The group playing is Adam & Mia with Adam Dugas on vocal and Mia Theodoratus playing harp. The performance is from the Sweet Thunder reunion at Starr Space in Deepest Darkest Bushwick. The whole show was amazing and is what the art scene should be like in NYC

Night of a Thousand Stevies, Highland Ballroom May 1, 2009

Adam and I are please to be asked to play the legendary event Night of a Thousand Stevies at the Highland Ballroom. Get your tickets early-this event sells out! Read below for the official description-nots19-poster-360

NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES, New York City’s legendary STEVIE NICKS homage, returns for its nineteenth annual edition on May 1 at THE HIGHLINE BALLROOM. NOTS 19: SONGS OF RHIANNON will be a May Day marathon of twirling and enchantment, produced by the JACKIE FACTORY NYC. This year’s theme – and the centerpiece of the show – are the ten “SONGS OF RHIANNON” penned by STEVIE NICKS in her BUCKINGHAM NICKS days. Some are well loved and well known, like RHIANNON, PLANETS OF THE UNIVERSE, ANGEL and SORCERER, others only demos. In stage decor, visuals and costuming, NOTS 19 pays homage to the Celtic white witch RHIANNON – fitting for a date that is both MAY DAY and BELTANE.

The Return of Rococo Party: A Baroque Bash! Sat March 28

Adam and I are playing my favorite all out smashing Baroque/Rococo Night!! We will probably go on at 10:30. I am going to channel my favorite harpist Marie Antoinette, so get out your Ouija Boards.

Where: Galapagos Art Space, 16 Main Street, DUMBO, Brooklyn, NYC (just one subway stop out of Manhattan) (www.galapagosartspace.com)
Saturday, March 28, 9pm

The extravagance of 1770 rococo Paris meets the eclecticism of 2009 underground New York nightlife.

Think Amadeus, Marie Antoinette, the Marquis de Sade, etc… but with a thoroughly modern twist.

This 4th installment of the Party will feature burlesque, aerialism, spectacles, hula hoop acrobatics, magic, juggling, baroque “makeovers”, fortune telling, live art, and live techno baroque and rococo rock music.

Set sail for a psychedelic spectacular with the 7th annual installment of CHAOS & CANDY, the seasonal extravaganza from Adam Dugas. The S.S. St. Nicholas is embarking on a Brazilian-bound holiday cruise, but a sea-change is in store because the vessel is loaded with explosive surprises! A dynamite cast of singers and dancers, backed by a rock orchestra, delivers this story of terrorists in love and undersea antics. It’s a full fathom fiesta. Don’t turn your back on the sea!

Flight of the Conchords-Harp Consultant Dec 2008

I was on set for the grand finale “Evicted” for the HBO series  Flight of the Conchords to help with all things harp. I taught David how to look like he was playing, tuned the harp, helped with the dialog to make sure the actors had their facts correct and was a music tech. Unfortunately they opted for a generic music library for the actual music. The picture is on Set while Mel’s husband David does his harp moves.
