Will you join us this Sunday at Hotel Café? 

"Love, Love, Love. All you need is love. Love is all you need." – John Lennon

Remember the days when you would countdown to Christmas or summer vacation? We are doing the same here! We keep pinching ourselves! We can’t believe we get to make this music together and bring all this love through our music to you! We’ve been running our set every night this week and are so in sync with each other; sometimes, I get emotional realizing what a gift it all is! 


 

Like John Lennon says, Love is all you need! 

Will you join us this Sunday at Hotel Cafe? 

We will sing our hearts out, in real life, just for you!

We want to love you up!

Live Sunday Feb 12 at 8pm Hotel Café! 

Hello, my dear Music Family!

Where did January go? I had such big plans for writing you the first week, but as I was recovering from holiday travel, it was full speed ahead into the new year! (I flew home on Southwest, so you can imagine lol!)

On Jan. 2nd, I had a little biopsy on my right-hand pinky finger. We had been following a spot under the nail for quite a while and finally decided to check it out, especially because of my mom’s history. Well, the good news is it was completely normal! What a relief! I didn’t quite realize it would be such a big deal, or I’d have my finger all bandaged or would need to keep my hand up for two days. I also found it impossible to do things like wash dishes with basically one hand. The worst part was I wasn’t allowed to play piano! So, I played with my left hand ha-ha!! John was over the entire day after the biopsy, keeping me company, so of course, we started writing a whole new batch of songs!

We’ve been burning the midnight oil all month, on a hot streak of creativity, and we have 10 new songs!

These songs will be a bit of a surprise and secret for now. There’s a theme and concept, and we delve into a slightly new style. More will be revealed soon!

Along with songwriting, we’ve been rehearsing our set for the Hotel Café, Sunday, Feb 12th, at 8 pm! We are so excited to play live music for you! We are very serious, of course, but have a great time playing together. It’s so much fun and gratifying!

We can’t wait to share a beautiful evening with you!

Purchases tickets in advance!

Lots of love, and see you soon! Christine

P.S. I played with 9 fingers for a couple of weeks, but now I’m back to playing piano with all 10! :)

New Christmas Song Inside! 

Dear Music Family, 

I can’t believe Christmas is only a few days way! Wow! The last month went so fast, but John and I got a Christmas song, written, recorded, and put out just for you!  We started writing “I Don’t Make Wishes for Christmas” on November 11th, and I know the date well because it was the first time we’d seen each other for a couple of weeks after we both tested Covid positive! That was a big doozy, right on the heels of our show. 

So…backing up a little, our show on October 24th was fabulous!  It was everything I dreamed it would be.  We saw your wonderful faces there, soaking it all in and cheering us on!  John texted me and said he would come “scoop” me up and take me to the club, and we just had the best time and experience ever! 

We were so happy to share our songs with you and finally get them out into the world.  And that was the comment I received most, from so many people, that it was so good to see us so happy, I guess it was just radiating off us! 

Here is just one of the lovely messages I received that night… 

“Christine! The show was wonderful.  The songs were evocative and beautiful.  You and John sound gorgeous together.  Song writing together, what a gift!” 

I want to share a big thank you with you all, although a little belated, honestly, I started the new semester at AMDA (teaching voice) the day after the show and 3 days later Covid hit!   So, that really took us out, at least until November 11th when we got busy on the Christmas song. 

“I Don’t Make Wishes for Christmas” was truly a labor of love and we both feel so proud of us!  I’m getting such great response too!  I sent it to my dad and Laura, and she said it reminded her so much of how she and my dad feel about each other, and she was saying, “I would love for you to sing it at our anniversary!” (Which I can’t believe is 9 years already on December 28th).  Wow! 

I also shared it with a family of a young 4-year-old piano student.  His mom said he loved it, he said he loved our voices, and he loved the music, so I feel it really is appealing to a wide range of ages! 

We wanted to create something about joy and love, reminiscent of the vintage feeling we get from Christmas songs we heard growing up, from Andy Williams and Jackie Gleason’s “Music for Lovers Only” to Vince Guaraldi. 

So please enjoy, share it and know we love you so much and we can’t wait to sing for you again IRL!  You’re going to get the chance because we are going to be, in the new year, at The Hotel Café, Feb 12th, celebrating the power of love and music.  Put Feb. 12th 8pm in your calendar, it's just right around the corner as well! 

Here’s a link to purchase tickets in advance! 

I know the holidays aren’t easy for everyone, and I’ve had my share of spending time alone, especially during the pandemic, but even more reason to savor the time we do have together now.  So, please enjoy your holiday time together, snuggle up, have some hot cocoa and hold the ones you love close. 

(When you hear our song, you’ll hear lots of fun lyrics reflecting that, and I hope will make you smile. 😊) 

Lots of love and big kisses and hugs! 
Christine

The Power and Meaning of Music...and Our New Single Is Here! 

We are only five days away from bringing you all the love – LIVE!  This Sunday, Oct. 23rd at 8 pm we’ll be rocking out the Hotel Café! 

We want to see You there!

Get your advance tickets here; let’s sell out this show!

We are so excited to invite you to this show!  I can’t believe it’s been almost three years…my last show at the Hotel Café was slated for March 2020, but we all know the world had other plans. Everything stopped, or so it seemed at first. Through the unprecedented pandemic, John was my person, my anchor through the uncertainty.

I could never have imagined we would experience the hot streak of creativity that has led us to form our duo, The Greatest Lovers.

Our new music as The Greatest Lovers sprang forth organically. There was no plan to become a group, let alone make music together this way, but over time and space, the music showed up for us as we showed up for each other.

Songwriting is always such a spiritual experience, and this was no different. Though we would connect via John sending over lyric ideas, and I’d reply, and vice versa, the melding of musical minds reached a point of not even being able to discern who wrote what or which of us found each line of melodies and harmonies.

It was all such a pure and healing experience we now have the privilege of sharing with you this Sunday, October 23rd, at 8 pm!

Having this moment at the Hotel Café is also just such a full return to love and life with the power of music.

John has said this is some of the most meaningful music he’s ever been a part of, and I find myself repeating that sentiment to myself often. It’s a strengthening reminder when the stress of putting on a show and setting things up like this gets overwhelming or when the nerves behind sharing our souls creep in as the big night draws closer. It helps me remember the power and meaning behind this music and what a gift it is. Music is so powerful to touch and heal our souls, and that’s what we all need right now.

It may sound corny or uncool sometimes to be so seen and let love reveal our depths while being genuinely open to the experience of being fully loved. When all is said and done, life is too short to miss an opportunity like this, and I’m so happy to share this exciting moment of music and love with you. I can’t wait to connect with you in that hallowed room at the Hotel Café and let you encounter the same spiritual healing we have working together.

Now for the surprise!... 

We are releasing our debut single, “I Like the Sound of This” to give you a little taste and wet your earbuds for Sunday!  And…drumroll…build the anticipation for more new music and an upcoming video! Stay tuned for more excitement coming your way!

“I Like the Sound of This” reaches into our jazz roots and captures a romantic day spent at the beach, listening to the beautiful sounds of life and love.

The Greatest Lovers, Sunday October 23rd at the Hotel Café! 

My friend Maria and I had coffee last week at Dialog Café in West Hollywood.  It felt so amazing to be out again, visiting with a friend in a café after 2 ½ years!  As we chatted and drank our coffees, she told me how much she loves our duo’s name, The Greatest Lovers.  “It’s so hopeful!” she said, and I started smiling ear to ear! To give hope and share the glow of love with you is exactly what we desire to do.  We are so excited about this music, in fact John said this music is the most meaningful he has ever been a part of!  And I feel the same way, it’s a real passion project for sure!

Our new group makes love-inspired songs, allowing us to share the glow of love with you! Come join us on Sunday October 23rd at the Hotel Café in Hollywood.

Get your Tickets for the Hotel Café here! As John said, “We about to heal your soul with this one.”  It certainly healed ours after such tumultuous times. Come join us in the love and excitement. We hope to see you at the Hotel Café
