SHOWS // MOXI – Final Show Of The Year

October 16, 2013 by jhartry

For CatBeach Music, this year began with much excitement and anticipation for the release of Moxi’s first EP – In My Dreams. The details of the project had been created over dinners and wine, songwriting sessions, and experiments in the studio. And it was finally time to bring this baby out into the world. The EP was introduced at a listening party up in the hills overlooking the city, followed by a packed out show at Hotel Cafe. Moxi and their first project was met with critical acclaim:

“Artist to watch! Meet Anna Nelson AKA Moxi, a Los Angeles-based singer and performer whose floating soundscape of vintage keyboards, big backbeats, and signature Omnichord strums are quickly brewing a buzz.”
-Rob Brayl – Bigger Than Beyonce

“Moxi was mixing raw vocal talent with an ambient upbeat sound that just made sense….this lady is going places.”
-Megan Harvey – Music In Press

“While today’s pop music seems convoluted, Moxi certainly has that moxie to stand on their own.”
-Ace Ubas – The Owl Mag

“In Moxi’s case there’s no big label endorsed policy of smoke and mirrors, just a great talent and proof that pop music can be intelligent as well as commercially appealing.”
-Andy Von Pip – Von Pip Musical Express

“Well written/performed pop music with an artistic presence & ever so gentle touches of electronic mixed in for flavor”
-Bob Suehs – Rock n Roll Experience

“In My Dreams is good stuff that caught me off guard because I was thinking she was just another girl with a guitar. Instead she’s dramatic and dreamy and her songs are easy to get lost in. It’s an impressive effort all around and the fifth song, “Mystery,” is worth the price of the single alone.”
-PaulPop – The Pop Stereo

It has truly been an exceptional year for Moxi, filled with new fans, new videos, new songs, and shows across Southern California. And Moxi is closing out their year with a final show at House Of Blues – Sunset, in their Foundation Room. The show is a party celebrating the release of their label mate – Ryan Webster’s debut album: The Point Of Pointlessness. The party is open to everyone and is FREE!

NEWS // CatBeach Music Loves Us Some 31 Bits

October 14, 2013 by jhartry

31 Bits is a global business, headquartered in SoCal, using fashion and design to empower women to rise above poverty.

They work with over 120 women in Gulu, Uganda,  purchasing jewelry from each woman on a monthly basis, providing them with an immediate, consistent, and fair income. Each piece of jewelry is handmade using 100% recycled paper and other local materials. By selling these products in the international market, they are able to generate a profit that is used to continue purchasing jewelry, as well provide the ladies with numerous development programs, including English and reading lessons, finance training, and vocational training, equipping them to develop a career and attain social equity on a local level.  And each of these women have beautiful and unique stories of suffering that has been overcome with joy and liberation.

This amazing company was started by Kallie Dovel and a few of her friends after getting a first hand look at life in Uganda in 2008. On her first trip to Northern Uganda, Kallie met women making paper beads but who lacked a plan to market and sell them. After spending time in their homes and hearing their stories, Kallie knew there had to be a way to give opportunities to her new friends. She brought a box of jewelry back to the U.S., and spent the next year finishing her degree and dreaming up the concept of a development organization. She brought a few friends on board and her ideas quickly evolved into 31 Bits. And now, they have a thriving business selling beautiful jewelry  working with these amazing women. These girls are world changers and we just love them!

This is truly Fashion for Good! Please help support our friends and their incredible company…

…We’ve invited the 31 Bits gals to feature their latest line at our Album Release Party, celebrating Ryan Webster’s new album: The Point of Pointlessness. You’ll be able to check out and purchase their jewelry just in time for holiday pressies!
Come party with us and 31 Bits!

Party Details:
Thursday, October 17, 2013.
Doors and first band: 7pm
ITS FREE!

MUSIC/ The Anna Nelson Project

November 21, 2012 by jhartry

This week we’re listening down to final mixes for a new project with Miss Anna Nelson. This is the point at which, with every album I’ve been a part of, all of the pieces begin to connect into a bigger unified tapestry. I can hear the songs, woven together, in the perfect sequence. I can see the visuals operating as a creative delivery system, sparking people’s interest and curiosity.  And I start to count the days until we can share this new creation. Its no different this time. The anticipation is near killing me. But alas, I will have to master the art of patience as this project will run through the PR machine before being released in February.

So, as part of my exercise in patience, I sit in gratitude, thinking about the amazing people who have given their skills, talents and creativity for this project. Anna and Andy Toy truly crafted the overall sound for this new endeavor. They enlisted Bobby to co-write and help produce the intimate details of each song. The lot of musicians included Aaron Sterling, Jason McGerr, Jonathan Ahrens, Jared Rich, and Aaron Anderson. Bryan Cook is bringing his mix engineering brilliance.  And Trever Hoehne and Jessie Simonson have been integral in art direction and styling. These are all extraordinarily talented friends…and of course, this list of names is not exhaustive. There are many more to thank…all of which will come in the proper time.

But for now, to assuage my desire to share the details of this project, here is Anna performing a cover of Oh Land’s ‘Rainbow’.   More to come…!  -jen
