Aural Elixir

Happy New Year Everybody! Well, it was a very exciting 2011 and 2012 is shaping up to be even better. Some of you may know that Aural Elixir recorded a new cd during 2011 at the legendary Word Of Mouth Studios with the help of New Orleans luminaries Andrew Wolf (bass) and Johnny Vidacovich (drums). We have a few different plans but at the moment we are preparing to release the first edition of these sessions. It's a huge project and we will be sharing more news on that as it develops.

   2012 will continue to see Jesse at her weekly solo Aural Elixir show in Lyons at the wonderfully delicious Smokin' Dave's Barbeque and Taphouse. Additionally, we will be doing some regional touring around the U.S. starting with a quick February tour from Colorado to Florida & back, with a brief stop at home in New Orleans for Mardi Gras! As usual, we will be posting live tracks, videos and pictures free for all of our online friends at this website and the others.

Here's the latest news from me:
Hi y'all and welcome to those of you who have recently joined our email list! Things are on fire around Boulder and it's started a little fire in me as well. I'm getting closer and closer to the recording of the 4th Aural Elixir studio album, which is very exciting for me as well as my 14 new songs. And I've taken a leap of faith and committed Aural Elixir to a short autumn tour, another in the spring and an extended tour next summer. I'm really excited to see old friends and new! I will be emailing soon with the fall tour schedule and if you have any suggestions for new places...

So, I'm taking a class about women in ancient history and I decided to share a piece with you. If you are interested in this sort of thing, I highly recommend the book, "The Other Half Of The World" by Carmen Myrtis-Garcia.

    Thousands of ancient artifacts depicting female images suggest women played a pivotal part in human development. Until humans began breeding animals around 6000 B.C., man's role in procreation was unknown. Women were believed to create life parthenogenetically as well as then nourish that life from their breasts, thus they were revered. Also, there was no medical explanation of menstruation so that too was regarded as magical, mysterious and divine. Artifacts from rituals show that females were the spiritual leaders of their prehistoric...

...the iPod party! But at last, I'm here.   I finally have an iPod to call my very own and I just now learned how to spell it. Small i, big P, no hyphen and it's a beautiful Indigo color.

   I feel so cool and modern right now. Maybe in 10 years, I'll get an iPhone and I can call you while you're...

Hi Everybody! Lynn wrote these two songs and we use to play them all over NOLA. Now I'm so solo they have changed, so much she has to take a double take when she hears them. Or that's my story anyways...hope you likey likey!

Sorry everybody (especially Rebecca!) I used to have big font but at some point it shrank to wee teeny scribble! Oh no, shrinkage!!
   I think I've fixed it. And now I'm dedicating these lols to the memory of my friend & yours, Thelonious The Cat. And encouraging everyone to "make adoption their first option." And if you aren't ready for the big commitment then your local animal rescues are always in need of more foster homes. More on that later, make room for lolcats. jesse out.

I watched a documentary recently called "Crazy Love." Wow, really bizarre! I don't want to tell you much about it because it was really well put together & suspenseful & shocking. The things people do are amazing and sometimes just unbelievable.

    That said, I also haven't shared any lolcats for awhile so here are a few to lighten your face...cheer up sunshine, happiness is but a smile away!
