It really is starting to feel like home. (one of them- hehe i will never say it's home, bc my only true home is in bmore) but anyway.. I just moved back to Nashville after a few months of visiting, back and forth btwn NY and Baltimore. I was really hesitant because I've always considered myself a city person- I grew up in the north and went to college wayy up north in boston- never drove a car, was used to fast paced, somewhat chaotic living. But it's funny, I feel myself wanting to not like Nashville, but I actually do like it hah - it's really coming along and growing more and more into an LA or something. Every night of the week there are shows and people are out til 2am (i'm becoming one of those people which i really shouldn't get in the habit of- but it's so hard to resist here! ) The weather right now is amazeballs - like the perfect cool summer nights.. it reminds me of summer nights on a trip to florida i went on as a kid... things are real quiet, like no one's around but the still warm nights are such a welcomed retreat.. at night the street sometimes look empty which makes it feel slow, but wherever you go you'll find friends in one of the bars around town. I love the slow pace, and the nice people...  and I feel like I'm meeting people from all over the country that are so different (but so much the same) I probably won't live here forever, but this is definitely a cool place to explore for awhile. :)Last night I started a new waitressing job at a Turkish restaurant :) and one of my customers practices eastern medicine and he read my "pulse" i guess you'd say. he told me to not lead so much with my mind because it wears me out- it's funny, you can relax if you let yourself.

Overall we had a great time, but we did run into a few hiccups. The show wasn't perfect, and there was definitely some frustrations, but it didn't matter. I didn't care. the thing I was stuck on, that I was just thinking about the most was that my amazing friends were there, right at 10, in the audience, standing by the bar, waiting for us to start. My friends are a tight group, we have been friends, most of us since elementary school.. and they're still there. And since I was 14, I have been telling them that I'm going to be a performer. I was just so floored and constantly am by their support. They have been in that audience for years and I just can't get over it. It's not easy to ask people to come to a random bar or club on a week night at 10pm to hear you play.. but they're there, time after time. I hope I can repay them. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UlIwinwyX0w/T4hFvg8IxnI/AAAAAAAAAHo/nkshuAVWQTM/s1600/band%2B%2540powerplant.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"> Had a great show in Powerplant last night.

Everything under 21 always felt pretty normal. The progression of life felt very natural, steady, life events seemed to happen at a good pace- acceptable.. but getting into my twenties, it's kind of been a holy sh** feeling for the past 2 years. ;) ha but really ... like up until this point- high school graduation, manageable, college graduation, manageable, brother getting married? - landmark. signpost. "life is changing." you are grown. it's official. this morning i was thinking a lot about this. It was Easter Sunday, and as usual, the whole family was going to brunch (it's funny, this time during spring always reminds me of being little- all the flowers are in bloom, everything is so bright and hopeful, it reminds me of old pictures we took outside our house on days like this).. but things really are different. We're older. I'm always talking about the "passing of time" and watching it go by and trying to hold onto every second possible and morning the loss of it. meanwhile, missing life and living in the moments themselves sometimes. Today, strangely enough, I felt ready to move on... kinda out of nowhere, it felt okay. I feel so lucky to be alive and for everyday we get. I've spent a lot of time 'in my own head,' afraid of making the wrong choice for the last 2 years, but i think im ready to just live, and feel grateful for just 'being' here.

The strangest things happen here. I always run into someone completely random who happens to know one of my closest friends in the world or like the other night, you meet an idol in person and then he's friends with a guy you're standing next to at the bar. and the guy you're standing next to at the bar happens to be coincidentally on his way to dinner with the one person you asked him if he knew. haha anyway, last night I went to Belcourt Taps and Tapas (restaurant/bar I waitressed at briefly in Nash) for a Tin Pan South show. Afterward I went and met a friend for dinner followed by drinks at Loser's (bar).. I met this really funny guy who ended up having a piece of chocolate cake delivered to the bar upon expressing that I was in the mood for some. haha see Weird ish happens here! but awesome :) lol back to bmore next week :) haha

It was so amazing. He's been encouraging me to do this "paleo diet" where you don't eat processed foods (no bread/sugar) .. it's really about eating meat and vegetables, lowering your sugar intake. It's not about doing it perfectly, it's about making small improvements, smarter adjustments to maximize health/fitness etc... Usually I'll run forever and push myself so hard, do a few pushups and abs.. usually i can only do that for about 2 weeks before I'm back eating pizza and cookies for the next two weeks ;) but he showed me how light cardio with short sprints, and more focus on strength training, toning muscles is key. it was the best workout ever and i hope to do it again. sometimes it really is about working smarter not harder. I'd love to learn to do that with everything. what a week and weekend... i often try to fill my brain with all things positive and all things music related... listen to interviews and watch footage of artists I admire and hope to be like someday. last night i was watching oprah.. one of my favorite ladies and she was interviewing lady gaga and her mother at their new york city home. i learned so many things from that.. they talked about wanting to live in full self expression. and being with someone who allows you to be fully yourself. when asked if they worried and argued about the field gaga had chosen to go into, her mother responded, "constantly." that eased my mind a bit since that's very much the same as me and my mother do. apparently gaga doesn't have a home either since she travels so much.. which recently i haven't either and never know where to "plant myself" or "settle" and how she "lives like a gypsy." all things i relate to.. it makes it okay somehow.

I'll be back in Nashville soon and NYC for a bit :) this holiday was so nice to reflect and remember what's important. hope everyone had a nice holiday and new year :)-emma -emma

Maybe because I had just graduated from college and because I was literally coming back to the house I grew up in and being forced to move on.. i don't know, it hit me like no other song had before.. so im here, to learn how to do that, maybe. i hope. one day

I actually went to the wrong venue and 10 minutes before I was supposed to go on, realized I had a 30 minute drive before I'd be at the right one. It was a writers night where each writer gets up after the other and plays like 4 songs... so anyway.. it worked out and I ended up just switching with another writer. a lot of the clubs or dive bars I end up in I find I have the most random encounters. I end up talking to random strangers who strike up a conversation after I play.. I don't know if it's the smokey room, the dim lighting, the sea of chatter... but these people I meet, they always come up to me as if they're some sort of prophet I was supposed to meet.. :) They always end up asking something I can't answer or leaving me with some piece of information I didn't have before.It always feels so whimsical, or maybe it's just in the moment it does.. I'm always left thinking, why did that person come up to me? why did they say that?

]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2011 00:07:00 GMT CC600B7AB490EDB07D399A1FD45F6C1C back from Hawaii! http://emmawhitemusic.com/home.cfm?feature=2166067&postid=996611 just got back from Hawaii last night :) I'm surprisingly glad to be home, but it was an amazing, amazing trip. geesh... so much. We went to waikiki and maui.. waikiki was cool but if you've never been, you don't expect to arrive in a city. It was awesome, but not what I'd pictured.. but Maui.... was amazing. we took a helicopter tour just me and my fam over the island. I have to admit I've never been that afraid of something in my life... yes, i'm a big baby, but it was crazy how scared I was.. literally crying before we took off. (im crazy, i know). once we were off and running it was the most fun, most incredible thing I've ever done, it was just the anticipation- i thought it'd be something it wasn't.. after doing it, i highly recommend it. then the day we got home from the trip, the DVD of the helicopter adventure arrived. i was like please, tell me they edited that horrific pathetic part in the beginning... but no, they didn't.. tears and all, right there, documented for eternity for my brother and sister to never forget. honestly it's kind of sad... but then it's hilarious. but that's how scared I was!! I knew we were being filmed but it kind of swallowed me up! but also a very good lesson, that nothing is ever gonna be what you think.. and there's no reason to be afraid of what you don't know.. or create it in your mind of just how bad you think it could be. being free of fear or just going past it even if it's there has got to be the best thing ever. fear is so confining... and uncomfortable. it's so freeing to move past it... even dismiss it, knowing there's something better on the other side. i hope i can do that more. gnight friends. ]]> Fri, 27 May 2011 11:56:00 GMT 412BEF7E88191EB68DACAC663778CE00 The Billy Block Show http://emmawhitemusic.com/home.cfm?feature=2166067&postid=937989 I don't think I wrote about this... I can't believe I didn't, but anywho, in Nashville a lot of weird fun occurrences have happened. Like I've had random encounters meeting people- the very "small town" feel - apparently it happens a lot here, but like one night, during a visit.. before I even lived here (I was actually on my way to LA, thinking I might move there) SO about a week prior to this night, I had written a songwriter on Facebook who had moved from NY to Nashville (since I had been in NY and was considering moving to Nashville, I was like I have to talk to this person), so I wrote him a message and heard back a few days later. We hadn't set anything up though yet.. So I love this restaurant in Nashville called J. Alexander's on West End.. realllly good burgers yum.. anyway my friend Ej worked at the bar so I went over that night and sat at the bar and got my favorite burger! so I'm sitting there and this guy sits next to me, and I'm thinking, that looks a hell of a lot like the guy I messaged on Facebook. So after a few minutes of trying to figure out whether or not to say anything, I said, are you Jeff Cohen?? LOL and it was! so we had dinner together and have been friends ever since! lol so that's an example of the weird things that have happened here. SOOO what I was getting at was that the very first week I was here, my college (berklee college of music) was on their spring break trip visiting Nashville so we all went over to The Rutledge to hear some friends perform. The Rutledge is where Billy Block has a show every Tuesday night broadcast on TV and it happened to be a Tuesday.. So something made me say hi to him and give him a CD, anyway a few days later, on a Sunday, he called me and asked me if I wanted to perform on his Radio Show that night on 103.3 WKDF. I was like... wait you mean tonight? not like next sunday?? hah so he meant that night and I went and performed. it was lots of fun and another very spontaneous fun little moment. Those first few weeks, my mom and I kept saying my Oma is watching over, I think she is. Here's a pic of me &amp; Billy Block from the radio show at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HBp_fj-5r0s/TbmIpzzElZI/AAAAAAAAAGc/EBpwiIxP45g/s1600/billyblockshow.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}">

So something made me say hi to him and give him a CD, anyway a few days later, on a Sunday, he called me and asked me if I wanted to perform on his Radio Show that night on 103.3 WKDF. I was like... wait you mean tonight? not like next sunday?? hah so he meant that night and I went and performed. it was lots of fun and another very spontaneous fun little moment.

Those first few weeks, my mom and I kept saying my Oma is watching over, I think she is.

Here's a pic of me & Billy Block from the radio show at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge

I love my band so much.. have i said that yet tonight? lol it was our first show, but they're just so good. I'm so proud of all of them for what they're doing.. they're phenomenal and are going to have amazing careers I know. I feel lucky to get to play with them. We all went to school together and ended up in Nashville at different times within the past year or so.. the show was at 3rd &amp; Lindsley. we didn't get to do a full set bc we were opening.. but it went really well. and people were really receptive to it! It's so amazing to have people tell u they like your stuff (esp. when they're hearing it for the first time).. hah I know it sounds silly, but in my own head sometimes I can barely get to the show.. I think of what could go wrong.. everything that will.. I always feel awful before a show and then on cloud 9 during and after the show. it's strange lol but i know it's just nerves and doubt before.. but just to have people like it is the best gift ever. My dad's in town too! for work and it happened to coincide with my show, which was so nice.. he brought his buddies with him and we're gonna get to hang out all weekend! I think we might go to memphis and play golf.. lol i dunno yet though its kinda far for a day trip. anyway, very grateful for tonight and how it went... don't listen to your head that's all i have to say.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cj9kcDbAQF8/TaUtAD0DvNI/AAAAAAAAAGM/WGPEIfd0yNg/s1600/201369_1996719562849_1389278763_2421002_6503554_o.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"> I couldn't have asked for a better night..

I'm two days from moving to Nashville.. we just went to dinner at Crush, the restaurant I worked at while I was home for a few months.It's so crazy, we grew up together- like 8,9,10 yrs old till now some of us.. Honestly, high school we had the time of our lives it felt like.. there were 8 of us - we were known (and still referred to) as the "cookie bakers" :) We all played field hockey together, practically lived together, went to the pool, got ready together before we went out every weekend... just so many memories. Then we went away to college and it was like we lived these separate lives.. still kept in touch, but we all changed too. We're still close though and remain best friends. It's weird I can't seem to wrap my head around growing up... we're alllways growing up, every second.. I think about those days in high school and I just wish I could freeze them and go back for a day or two. have my best friends back- hang out whenever we wanted.. but now we have to be adults.. aand it's just strange to me b/c all I remember is calling each other to go to the pool. I feel like a weirdo b/c I seem to have the most trouble accepting this.. haha i want to grow up but I don't want to lose them..
