Magda Hiller: News

Friday April 28th folks - Jack Shawde and Diane Ward are coming up to the sweet hamlet of DeLand, FL to accompany yours truly on what is shaping up to be a perfect night under the stars at Caffe da Vinci - 112 W. Georgia Ave., DeLand, FL - (386) 736-4646 * $5 will get you in *

Hope to see you there!

Ahh...

March has been a whirlwind; new cd, Wyatt's birthday, performances, bronchitis, travelling, la la la. I will be out of circulation for a couple weeks and hopefully then back to the Caffe for Open Mic on Thursday April 13th, we'll see. The cd release party for Central FL will be at Caffe da Vinci (see calendar) on April 28th, featuring myself, Jack Shawde and Diane Ward. I can't imagine it will be anything other than huge fun and musical wonderment!

Peace and thank you for being here,

Magda

I seemed to have lost a month somewhere. Lots (LOTS) going on here folks. Most importantly for you - Icing on the Cake - the new cd should be in my hot little hands sometime within the next 2 weeks. The folks at Oasis CD Manufacturing have been fantstic as always and I am more than sure that the finished product is going to look and sound amazing! Mark Thompson, Jack Shawde, Diane Ward, Debbie Duke and special guest Matt Schuler have made this project sound very 'real'. Ulysses Busch III, Mary Lee Adler, Tariq Gibran & Josh Rohe have made it beautiful. Graham Wood Drout & Little Silver Records have given it a home. 'Icing on the Cake' will be available via cdbaby.com, amazon.com and e mailing through this website asap as well as at live performances.
I wish you all well and hope that your new year is going famously!

Love,

Magda

Hmm...it seems I completely bypassed November, my mother Mary Lee's birth month - we did celebrate.


On to Christmas! It's all about the presents and don't you forget it folks.

I hope y'all have a super happy time. Give to those in need as well as those in your immediate circles, there are many more this year.

New cd should've been out this month but next month for sure - I feel safe in saying that. You can go to CDBaby.com or e mail me w/orders!

Happiest of Holidays to you all

Love,

Magda

More rain.....good for sleeping, not thinking. Well, our new street is touted as one of the most popular Halloween stops in the area. Chip has got to get in gear here as Halloween is not my forte. I have however collected bags and bags of candy (and only opened 2) and will continue to do so until the last minute. Last year $60 didn't even get us through 1/2 the night, we ran out and were buying candy from our nieces' spoils and handing out change!

I am on Danny Sorrenson's case as far as the artwork for the new cd and have decided that it will either be done by late next week or I will be doing it myself. That cd WILL be out before Christmas.

Have a great, safe month folks.

Where to begin.....

Please send whatever you can to help those in need - like I needed to say that. I'll leave the political speak to my compadres, Anne Feeney, Chris Chandler, Amy Carol Webb. They have the songs, poetry and much to say about what is (and is not) going on in this country I am only too sure.

My father Herb Hiller has a new book out - "Highway A1A Florida at the Edge". You can check out floridaattheedge.com
I had hoped to do a father/daughter tour w/him when his book came out and I'd have my cd but alas I couldn't get it together in time. As they say in Jamaica, "Soon come mon".

Am listening to an old friend Lorena Mire's new tune on her site - if I could only figure out the link thing again! Haven't heard her in years and she sounds more amazing than she did - please google her!

Love and peace - really

Magda

Oops,

I am a tad late here with the month's news. Well, most of the news has happened towards this later part of the month so...

If I am not mistaken, the main portions of the interior of the new cd are complete. The artwork begins this week - don't faint.

We lost our dear friend Guy Kitty Runt Monster (aka Bubba) who was living up on Drayton Island with my parents. He was a very sweet, talkative cat and will be missed.

My father's book, Highway A1A Florida at the Edge just came out, published by the University Press of Florida. I just started reading it last night and am most excited. You can check it out and/or order a copy for yourself at floridaattheedge.com

Chip has put up at beautiful white (due partially to my new found fence painting skills) picket fence around our house and we are looking quite fabulous these days - the house!

Wyatt started Montessori school last week and seems to be having a ball. I now have a couple hours per day to devote to my career - this is some very much needed time. We'll see how we all fare.

Have a great rest of the month!
