In Student News,
I'm super proud of the incredibly talented 16 year old Summer Brennan. She just released her song "Nowhere," available on all platforms. Check out the video as well! I'm sorry I messed up her Instagram last newsletter. Please follow @summerbrennanmusic
IN ADDITION - The "New & Used" Songwriters Collective made up of several of the AMAZING singer/songwriters in my online class (Dave Anderson, Siobhan O'Malley, Lucas Rotman & Joann Weaver) had another fantastic gig at the Bitter End in NYC last week. Again, they donated all ticket sales to support the scholarship fund at Heart & Beat Music. I'm also excited for Lucas. He is performing with his band at Rockwood Music Hall (stage 1) in NYC on 12/21/2022 @ 7pm. It feels so good to have The "New & Used" back - a continent cannot keep us apart. Thank you, Zoom. Lols. Funny, but TRUE.
Last Bit - We have STUDENT SHOWCASES coming up shortly, 10/30 & 11/4 at the Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company. There's so much outstanding talent to hear and see. Please mark your calendars for these unforgettable nights!
If you are getting serious about songwriting and want to be part of our songwriter group, Please email me or call me at 650-434-2876 for more information/submission/registration.
“Ruth has given me my mojo back. I have been a blocked songwriter for decades, Then I met Ruth and enrolled in her songwriting class, and through it, I feel like I’m meeting a part of myself that I had long forgotten and stuffed in a corner — and it feels SO GOOD!“ -Joanne Weaver (student)

2022 was full of change here, lots of transitions, new horizons, a lot of letting go's & taking in's. A date in the calendar has the meaning we give it, but it is a moment to reflect and an opportunity to appreciate and thank you. If you are reading this - you're clearly my friend (or my mom). You have supported me, my family, lifted us up - in more ways than you know. I am humbled by my friends. You hosted house concerts for me, you brought friends to shows, told friends about shows, music...
