Saturday, January 22, 2011 – Paris, France
Peace & Minute Maid orange juice!
Shanghai is over and after some good rest back home in California, I have re-imagined myself as the second half of an acoustic jazz roots duo called “Dana & Vlad” (Dana Shellmire from USA – vocals and Vladimir Legay from France – guitar). We are doing our first tour of Europe, where we will be performing a series of shows at some cool venues in Paris, Cork, and Dublin. Tour details are here: http://www.noomiz.com/danaetvlad.
Our project officially began as somewhat of an after-hours dare in late Summer in Shanghai, and has blossomed into something really fresh, exciting, and cosmopolitan. We are getting ready to release our first acoustic EP in the spring, and it has already been getting great buzz over here in Paris. We did an impromptu mini-set at a birthday party of one of Vladimir’s schoolmate friends and got a very warm and welcoming reception. Vladimir actually had not seen a lot of these people in many years since moving to China. It was a nice reunion and I met a lot of cool people who I will get to see again at our Paris debut show at Bar La Faille on Thursday, February 3: http://www.la-faille.com

First few days in and so far so good. I am taking my time easing into the way of life over here…a few social and art events and the tour prep. More news and pics soon!
We are 5 years old.
