spring news!
April 28, 2013
Thanks to all who have come out to support my trio these past few months! I've got a couple other projects coming up this spring, so here's a little update...
TEDxNYU TALK
I'm thrilled to be speaking and performing at TEDxNYU's annual conference this weekend. I'm a TED Talk junkie and it's been an amazing challenge to make my talk - which is on why creating artistic communities is crucial to creativity. I'll also be debuting a new song with my band! The conference is sold out, but the video should be online soon after and I look forward to sharing it with you.
THERE'S A HOUSE
I've been writing songs for a new musical commissioned by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for the past year or so, and have been very fortunate to collaborate with an amazing and hilarious playwright, Kim Rosenstock. We're having our first workshop with a director and actors next week! The piece is called There's A House and you can check out some songs from it here.NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812
I'm so excited to be joining the cast of Dave Malloy's acclaimed electro-pop opera, Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, and making my Off-Broadway debut! It's an incredibly unique and gorgeous production based on a slice of War and Peace, playing all summer at the Kazino, a Russian supper club built for the show, near the High Line in Manhattan's meatpacking district.
I begin performances on May 28th. You can get tickets here - use the code COMET79 for $79 tix for performances through June 30th.As an artist-in-residence at Ars Nova, where this piece was born, I've been so inspired by watching this remarkable show beautifully evolve over the last few years, and am overjoyed to be a part of its newest incarnation!
TRIO
ST3will be back this summer with new songs, videos and a big show at Rockwood Stage Two on June 24th, so save the date! And stay tuned with my amazing bandmates, Mike Brun and Jacob Colin Cohen - both also working on amazing projects of their own.
If you'd like, stay in touch with me on Twitter, Facebook and all that, and you can listen to my songs here.
Thanks for reading this and for all the support!
Love,
Shaina

Philly and Blogs and Drawings!
April 1, 2013
We had a blast playing in Boston. Thanks to everyone in Cambridge who rallied for the show!
This amazing artist came up to us after the show and handed us a stack of drawings he did during the set! Here's a few of our favorites:
Next up is our Philadelphia concert at World Cafe Live on Wednesday April 10th at 8 PM!
Get your tickets HERE. And this show is all ages, so no need to get a babysitter!
Also, thanks to Groove on Fire for featuring us on their cool music blog.

I'm back! And ST3 plays Boston on Monday!
March 19, 2013
I'm just returning from two blissful weeks writing at the Yaddo Colony! I wrote a handful of songs for a new project, and was hugely inspired by Paul Simon's most recent album, So Beautiful or So What. The track, Love and Hard Times, is the most moving composition I've heard in a long time - experience it here.
Also finished two powerful books: The Sabbath, an essay on the sanctity of time by Abraham Heschel, and The Heart and the Fist, the memoir of Eric Greitens, about his world travels as both a humanitarian and a Navy SEAL. I highly recommend them both.
I also became obsessed with poached eggs and can't believe I've been missing out on that goodness for 24 years.
Now I'm back on the internet and making the set list for ST3's first Boston concert coming up on Monday, the 25th!
If you have friends in the area, won't you help us spread the word?

2 Weeks in the Woods
March 5, 2013
For the next two weeks, I'm gonna be upstate writing songs at the Yaddo Colony!
Yaddo is an artists' retreat center that provides residencies to artists from around the world working in all kinds of disciplines - choreography, film, literature, musical composition, painting, performance art, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video.
I've become a bit of a retreat junkie in recent years, and I'm especially looking forward to Yaddo's famously beautiful landscaping. It appears to look more or less like The Secret Garden:
With a little bit of Hogwarts splashed in:
And the ghosts of Leonard Bernstein, Truman Capote, Aaron Copland, Langston Hughes and a century's worth of Yaddo artists hanging around...
I'm extremely excited to head up there tomorrow for two weeks to work on my commission for this awesome place:
I'll be in a little cabin with a piano, which will mostly be peaceful, but also a little terrifying now that I've seen this movie.
SEE YOU IN A FEW, NYC!
