As promised, here are a few videos from my trip!
The first is an overview of my time in California - a "music video" I put together, set to the song "Party In The USA," performed by Miley Cyrus.
Next up is a video blog from my time in Arizona!
The following video is a live performance of Natasha Bedingfield performing her hit song "Unwritten" at the ASCAP "I Create Music Expo" showcase!
And THIS performance took place the same night - Phil Vassar sings his song "Just Another Day in Paradise."
Lastly, this video has nothing to do with my trip, but is me singing "God Bless America" at the Camden Riversharks game in Camden, NJ on May 25th.
Enjoy!!

Kate Flannery and Malibu - last of CA
Okay so it's been a few weeks and I've failed to post photos from my last few days in California...so here we go!
On May 1st I had the opportunity to go see "The Lampshades" perform in Hollywood with a fellow UArts grad and actor, Johnnie Hobbs III. "The Lampshades" is a musical comedy duo who take on a ridiculous lounge act featuring Kate Flannery as Kassie Chew and Scot Robinson as Hori Pismo.
Both are hysterical - it was a great show! You might recognize the name Kate Flannery or her face in the picture below as she also appears weekly as Meridith on the show "The Office." (NBC) Kate is also a graduate of both my high school and college - Archbishop Carroll and The University of the Arts. It was a pleasure to meet her and get to chat for a bit after the show!
My last day in California was spent as one should spend their last day in California...on the beach. We finally had a really warm sunny day (a lot of chillier ones) so we headed to Malibu to soak up the sun!
(I love the tall tall palm trees)
It was an awesome trip! Check back tomorrow for some video!!

Lillith Voting Process
Hello Friends...
So I've been asked for a more detailed description on how to vote to see me open for Lillith Fair - and I am happy to oblige.
1) Go to www.ourstage.com - you can either create an OurStage account or login with your facebook account.
2) Once you've logged in, go to the search bar and search "Mary Scholz" - on the right side there is a button to "make your favorite artist" - this will ensure that I come up at least once a day in your voting.
3) Once you've created an account or logged in, find the tab across the top of the page that reads "Judge." If you drag your mouse across it, options should pop up - click on "Lillith Channels."
4) Select "Philadelphia"
5) Once you're on the Philadelphia page, you'll be given four musicians - you are required to listen to at least 15 seconds of their song before judging (if these musicians come up in judging again you will NOT have to re-listen)
6) Once you've listened to 15 second of each performer, you drag and drop their picture on the right side where it says "Drop Zone" - rank the 4 from best to worst.
You can check the standings by clicking the tab that says "Standings." I spent two days at number one and have since dropped off the top 100 chart completely - I haven't come up more than 4 times in my own voting tries and the same with Nick - although we keep seeing the same artists over and over again.
This is, needless to say, very frustrating for me and I hope to be able to come back and make it back to the top by the time voting ends (in 11 days!!)
Thank you as always for your support, time and dedication. :)

The Nashville Flood: How You Can Help
With all of this talk about the oil spill in the Gulf and the bomb scare in Times Square, the flood in Nashville has been swept under the carpet a bit...
Now if only we could sweep the water away as fast as it came! I received an email from a musician friend of mine who's whole house was lost in the flood waters - she is one of many people/families struggling to get back into their homes after such a devastating blow.
Coincidentally my travels were supposed to have me playing in Nashville just before the flooding, but scheduling conflicts brought me to Los Angeles instead - do you believe in the phrase "everything happens for a reason?" I do. I am so grateful to have not been around to need to be evacuated, lose my car, guitar, etc. I do not know the reason that can be given for the flood itself, but I do know that people need help and we are going to need to step in. The following is a list of organizations you can contact to volunteer your time, money or supplies.
And also,
Dear God - can we have a break from these natural disasters? There are too many to handle right now, and not enough time to fundraise enough money to help everyone affected.
Love,
Mary

"Thanks to all the wonderful fans who have inquired about ways to help victims of the Nashville flood. We’ve compiled a list of several organizations that can use everything from donations to household items to man power. We appreciate everyone coming together to help those in need!
Text ’REDCROSS’ to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief — or visit redcross.org to donate.
Check out the Nashvillest blog, with a section called “So Nashville Is Flooded…How Can I Help?”
Hands on Nashville has a number of volunteer efforts going on in Nashville and Williamson County. Please visit their website for more information.
The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee is working directly with Mayor Dean and Governor Bredesen on city and state emergency response efforts.
If you’re in or near Nashville, The American Red Cross is operating a number of shelters around the area and will be in need of volunteers this weekend to help distribute items. More information here.
Soles4Souls: Soles4Souls has generously donated 20,000 pair of shoes and boots to families and workers in need. They’re going to need help distributing these shoes, so call Isabelle at 615-392-5723 to volunteer in the coming days if you’re in the Nashville area. And as always, they could use your monetary donations if you feel so inclined. Donate here.
Please visit the Nashville Humane Association for information on pet food donations, assistance, etc"
