One of my most cherished musical memories is of the four of us standing backstage and hearing the sold-out crowd stomping and chanting,
I loved this band so much and this album represents some of my favorite music that I ever made.
It was such a thrill to work with people that had so many good ideas!
Song Ideas!
Arrangement ideas!
Staging and audience interaction ideas!
Teaming up with awesome bands and venues ideas!

As Miki would say, “The classic lineup of piano, banjo and two oboes.”
Our first show was October of 2008 at the Tonic Room.
Our album release show was in February 2012 and our last show was sometime that spring.
And, then . . . I don’t think a decision was made to retire the band. I remember it just kind of happening.
We had taken a long time to make the record. By the time the album came out all four of us were sending our creative energy towards other projects and family life.
It’s a Girl was much more like being in a theater production than any other band I was part of before, or since. Theatrical shows close and so did this band, I suppose.
You can listen to the album for free at bandcamp.
