Accousitical Fun at Night

admin — Fri, 04 May 2012 20:19:34 +0000

Last night, after dinner at Kincades in Jack London, I returned to the underground parking garage, to find it almost empty. I noticed the sound seemed to bounce and bounce, and decided to record my voice to test out the amazing accoustics I was hearing. This is what came out of my mouth. I would love to do that again with a better field recorder.

Stretchy Pants

Oh how life would be so much more comfortable if everyone wore stretchy pants. They accentuate or hide, they stretch, they conform. I love stretchy pants, and I hope you enjoy this silly song sketch. If you have a favorite pair of stretchy pants, Tweet a pic to @allegrabandy. Or post on my Facebook Fan Page.

Happy Birthday Aretha Franklin!

One of my American Idols, Aretha Franklin has inspired me with her amazing voice, stunning delivery and skill, and utterly soulful music. She is my SHE-ro, and will always remain in my heart as my favorite soul singer. There has been no else like her, and I’m proud to sing her song, “Natural Woman.” Check it…

Black Bird – Performed live by Allegra Bandy

“Into the light of a new dark night…” Brilliant lyrics by Bob Dylan. So inspired to have sung and recorded this song. This was performed live at 1300 Fillmore in San Franicsco, CA, about two years ago in 2010. Performed with Jara Ra Queeto on Keyboard and Eugene Warren on upright Bass. So blessed to have documented this moment in time. I really loved singing in that space, as the acoustics were stellar, minus the dinner crowd in the background. Busy night for a Sunday.

Hopefully I’ll find more gems like this from way back. Enjoy!

RIP Whitney Houston

Thank you, Whitney Houston, for all of the inspiration you have provided me as a singer and a performer. I remember singing along to ALL of your music when I was a little girl, and wanted to sing just like you. I was even inspired to write songs like yours too. Thank you for lasting as long as you did in the meat grinder we call the entertainment industry. This one’s for you. Thank you. Here’s Whitney’s “ONE MOMENT IN TIME.”

OK, so I’m procrastinating with the taxes… Let’s take a break and have some lentil soup.

Love Hank Williams

I love this song by Hank Williams. Google had a version of his with their Valentine’s Day logo switch up, and I remembered Norah Jones’ version as well, and thought… “This is the dark side of Valentine’s Day.” Sorry to post this post celebration, but I think maybe it’s more relevant now than the day of. Hmmm… My heart’s “Been there, done that.” Got to keep paying it forward, especially love. So… moving right along. Hope you enjoy this vid. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel… More to come!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Here’s a cute little diddy that I wrote for Valentine’s Day. It’s a song called, “Sweet Little Beautiful You.” Enjoy!
