Kina Grannis

white christmas

i’ve actually never had a white christmas! maybe someday…

family time in the grannis household is a warm and happy time. as you can see, it is also a strange and bizarre time. but it is a good time.

let me also point out that it’s currently 4am, and i’ve been going to bed around 1am lately, so my brain is a little crazy and doesn’t remember how to function. if whatever i’m writing sounds awkward, it’s because i’m only half awake.

album update

the album art is ALMOST finished. the website is ALMOST finished. things are about to get crazy!!

upcoming show!

oovret: Week 71

Have you roasted chestnuts on an open fire?
no! but i do love me some roasted chestnuts.
What would you do with a partridge in a pear tree?
teach it tricks. cuddle. set it free.
What was the last gift you received from Santa Claus?
i believe he gifted the family DDR a few years back…
What Christmas songs do you enjoy singing?
many :)
Have your parents sold your bed?
no, but they have reverted it back to a rickety bunk bed which makes me feel either slightly claustrophobic if i’m on the bottom, or slightly like i might die in my sleep if i’m on top. they’ve also put two exercise machines in my room… pretty intense. but i’d rather them exercise and be healthy than my room feel cozy.

re: merch orders…

due to many requests, i will be pushing my last day of sending out merch orders myself until next wed, dec 16th! i just can’t let it go!

if you would like your cd or shirt signed, make sure to write a request in the “additional instructions” on your paypal order.

fireflies

hello lovelies.

this week i have my first two rehearsals with my band for the troubadour. fun!! i’ll be playing with keith tutt II on the cello, reade pryor on drums, and jon titterington on keys. don’t all their names make them sound like they’re royalty or something?? i think so. anyway, they are all very talented and i am so excited to play with them all.

recently, i’ve been busy getting in everyone’s merch orders and trying to plan more for the release. now that i’ve committed to a date… i kind of need to make sure things get done. ahh! i’ve been doing some back and forths with my designer too… i should be seeing a mock up for the new website this week!

last week of merch sent by me :(
this friday (dec 11th) i will be passing on my merch packaging and shipping to a company that will do it in a much more timely manner than i. if you want to get a personalized thank you with your order or get a cd or shirt signed, get your order in by friday! if you want something signed, make a note to me in the “additional instructions” section on your paypal order, or immediately send me an email after ordering with your order # and the request! order merch here.

album update

ahhhh! a release date at last!! (i’ll update this later with the info… i don’t want to spoil it for people that want to find out in the video first!)

upcoming show!

oovret: Week 70

Who played, for your first visit to The Troubadour?
Bon Iver
What is the best “pickup line” that has been used on you?
haha… hmm, i’m not sure if “best” means “most effective” or “most entertaining”. in either case… i actually can’t remember any!
Does your computer spend more time on or off?
my computer is never off unless it’s having a problem and i restart it. that’s probably not very good for it, huh? poor computer… so overworked…
Do you enjoy listening to “Monsters of Folk”?
i shall check them out right now.
How fast does a turkey trot? Are you faster?
i’m pretty sure i trot faster than a turkey, but that’s not incredibly fast.
