Acoustic Hip Hop with my dear bestie whom I've known since birth. We grew up on the same block, walked to school together, and both became musicians! And now we are collaborating, bringing together my folk flare, and his hiphop soul. We are having a blast creating together, and I hope you'll come out and see this special show. Matre is a deeply spiritual wordsmith, and I'm a big hearted goofball so the combo is clearly a spirit-hearted wordball goofsmith.

I will be singing the song that came to me called "The Universe", joined by hiphop artist Matre, for this free meditation event with Sister Shivani.

Here is the Brahma Kumaris event description:

Although humanity stands at the moment of unprecedented division, we are also on the precipice of increasing unity, harmony, peace and integrity. Major global changes begin with increased individual awareness and personal accountability.

We invite you to join in a thought- provoking conversation with a great wisdom keeper of our time Sister Shivani to hear the ways in which we may positively influence humanity through our inner evolution.

Burlington, I have a crush on you! And so I just have to sing songs to you from the bottom, middle, and top of my heart. Come join me from 5:15-6:45pm while I share a variety of my tunes.

I have technically been living in LA now for 11 months, and have yet to play a show in my hometown. This is absurd! So, I am hosting a house concert in my summer resting place (The Glowbox) just one block from the Santa Monica ocean. Please join us for a lovely evening of live music and art featuring my Americana songs, the hip hop talents of Matre, and charocal art by Dean Liao. The doors open at 7pm, show is at 8pm. We will provide some snacks and drinks, and feel free to bring a bottle of whatever you like to drink.

$10 donation for the artists.

Thank you! ~Lesley

This is a big beautiful festival happening in Eastern Oregon. There will be dance parties all around. I'm playing in the Kidzbiosis Dream Village. Though I have a children's music album, I will be sharing mostly my current Americana music from the new album "A Calm Sun." I'm blessed to be joined by the fabulous oud player Netanel Lesser (Atallah)! It's going to be a World Music Americana set like no other...plus of course, the Total Solar Eclipse of the sun.

Show times at the Kidzbiosis Family Tent are:

Saturday, August 19th, 12noon-1:15pm (with Atallah)

Sunday, August 20th, 4:30-5:45pm (with Atallah)

Monday, August 21st, 5:30-6:45pm (solo show)

This is the gorgeous mountain ridge home of my middle sister Lauren and her husband Doug. I'll be sharing music from the most recent album "A Calm Sun", and whatever the heck else I feel like playing in the moment. Bring your mountain bike if you've got one, cause they have their own trails on their land. Yes, I just said that.

I'm heading out in my car solo to bring the new album "A Calm Sun" to you. I'll be playing house concerts, radio shows, and venues throughout this beautiful land. If you'd like to come to a house concert please contact me and I can give you the address and invitation. I'll be adding dates to this list along the way too. I hope to see you out there!

Robin and I have been basically brother and sister forever now. We traveled and toured in March Fourth Marching Band and Vagabond Opera together. Then we both became our worst nightmares: singer/songwriters! So, we may as well share an evening of it together at the White Eagle. Here's more info on this talented, hilarious, wonderful chap: www.robinjackson.net

House Concert at Rob & Naomi's! Rob Stroup is the amazing man who co-produced, recorded, and mixed The Pickle Jar. I love this guy, and it is an honor to play a house concert at his home.

If you'd like to join us, please RSVP at lesley.kernochan@gmail.com and I will send you the address. Thanks!

This is an annual flash mob that I put together for Transgender Day of Remembrance. This year we will do two consecutive flash mobs, and like last year, we will be dancing to a song I wrote called Esprit Yourself. The flash mobs will be in Washington Square Park 1pm, and in Bryant Park at 2pm. Come share your booty with us on behalf of a very important cause! It is not ok that people are being murdered for being trans. We must bring love and sanity to our community! More details of this event are on our facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1859180054315742/

A satsang is a sacred gathering in honor of Truth & Being. This is a satSONG in which we weave together meditation and music in a gathering of community. All are welcome.

A lightly guided meditation will be given by Taz Tagore of The Reciprocity Foundation to begin the evening. The music will be offered by Lesley Kernochan, and then Sam Hammerman. We will close the evening with a music jam and prayer.

Sam Hammerman is a singer/songwriter whose music lives in the pop world, filled with beautiful melodies and catchy guitar hooks but with a depth and soul rare in that field. The lyrics are rich, the voice is smooth as a waterfall, and the chords are imaginative. http://samhammerman.bandcamp.com/

Lesley Kernochan is soon to release a new album of songs that come from her unexpected love affair with country music while living in NYC. Her deepening love for meditation blended with the country influence creates a unique twang and tenderness. www.lesleykernochan.com

Location: Last Frontier NYC www.last-frontier.nyc

Donation $5-10 Reciprocity youth free. Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1420140351626419/

We hope to see you there!
