We met the night before Valentine's Day in 2012 at an open mic at The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA. James had gone there to play one last time before moving to LA a week later. Despite the odd timing, our connection was immediate, intense, and beautiful. After a year or so, Esther joined James out west. Along with the indispensable assistance of two feline furballs, we lived together and made a home in East Hollywood for the last several years. More recently, we've relocated to Topanga. While on vacation in Maui in 2019, on the seventh anniversary of our first date, James proposed to Esther on a windswept ocean cliff with several dozen cows as witnesses. She said yes! And the future beckons with joy, optimism, and enduring love. We hope you can join us on September 25, 2021 as we take this relationship to the next level!
