We (the Royal "we") Shall Return!

Hello friends of the cyber world!

Just a quick little update on some things "Goshko" related:

1) There will be no Sideshow Goshko for the month of May. Don't worry, everything is fine. We will return in June with a lineup that I'm already giddy about. So, be sure to stay tuned for more details. And if you just feel like marking up your calendar, you can put us down for Thursday, June 26th, 7pm at KGB Bar. See? All better.

2) I'll be taking a hiatus from posting/performing/writing for the rest of May. Again, everything is fine. And come June, we'll be back in the swing of things. Just didn't want y'all thinking I fell off the face of the earth and am lost tumbling through the void of space. Although, anything's possible. Plus I like stars and the movie "Space Camp."

3) My computer is being a spoiled little brat right now, so I was unable to download and share photos from last month's Sideshow Goshko. But in the meantime, you can catch a photo recap of April's Sideshow over at Maryanne's (our illustrious photographer) flickr page HERE.

4) In case no one told you, you look hot today! Rraawwwrrr.

See you all soon!

And be sure to stop by and hear Kerri Doherty before she heads off to LA to start work on The Goldbergs. That's right, the TV show.

A Huge "Thank You" and Soon-To-Happen Again!

Wow, it is with great humility and thanks that I share this "thank you" post. We sold out Cornelia Street Cafe with standing room only. I was and am so overwhelmed by everyone who came out to Saturday's piano party. I got to see people I haven't seen in years along with new friends and people I hold so dear. We're already in talks about doing another one. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for coming to the show and making me feel so loved and supported. Now, I'm taking the day off from practicing xo
