Music Video: Letters from the Prom - Over the Moon
A few months back I went on a short California tour with Letters from the Prom. We shot a bunch of video footage, and Marc recently edited it all together to make a video for his song "Over the Moon" starring himself, me, my girlfriend, and her friend Brooke. Check it out:

Show Review: Bess Rogers & Allie Moss
I was just reading a great article on a busy musician in Citypaper, which reminded me of a little tour that dropped by Messiah for our first B-sides this semester. A couple years back, indie-pop singer-songwriter (oh hyphens) Ingrid Michaelson played a big show here, and evidently the band enjoyed it. Last spring, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss, both members of Ingrid's touring band, were scheduled to play at B-sides when one of the Snowpocalypses hit and blocked all roads from NYC to central PA. As you may remember, I was managing Marc Seeley (aka Letters from the Prom) at the time, and he graciously played a second b-sides gig as a substitute.
Undaunted, the ladies rescheduled and joined us for the opening show of the fall semester on September 1st. Moss warmed the crowd up with intimate folk ballads, then Rogers batted clean-up with bouncier kernels of indie-pop goodness. Worth the wait? Probably.
