1 month agoAs you can see, I have updated my website. There are so many different websites to keep track of (twitter, facebook, myspace, BLOG…) these days, I thought it would be easiest to try and consolidate as much as possible on one site. I am still working out the kinks of the blog embed, but for now I am calling it good. Let me know what you think. To leave comments, click on the post link above which will take you directly to my blog page. Thanks! xo, Barbara

2 months agoat 8 1/2 months, a pregnant belly is hard to disguise
I am performing with Seattle’s “Head Like a Kite” this Saturday night at the crocodile. Since about six months into my pregnancy, I decided not to do any more “Trentalange” shows until after the baby is born, for a couple of reasons.
1. I have a ton of gear that is heavy and cumbersome and no roadies
2. My guitar doesn’t sit right over my swollen belly
I have been continuing to perform with HLAK though and have been having a great time just being a backup singer again. No pressure, just a lot of fun playing music with my good friends.
Getting ready for a show is always something that I enjoy putting some thought into, “what am I going to wear to this show?” Now that I am have a huge pregnant belly, those thoughts are more like “oh my god, I have to stand next to Zera Marvel and Graig Markel on stage? (Two very attractive and ultra-svelte performers) What the hell am I going to wear that doesn’t make me look like I stuffed a 20 pound turkey under my shirt?” I may have one or two more shows in me before baby Trentalange makes her debut. Maybe I should take this opportunity to do something creative, though I am definitely not giving into Dave’s suggestion of wearing a bikini. I’ll spare the audience that sight.
