Loved being back behind my kit with the Women’s Blues Revue, such a talented group of musicians and a stellar year of featured singers. Photos by @onditimoner 💕 #livemusic #drummer #womensbluesrevue #torontomusic
LA friends, Ryan Nolan and I are doing a special book launch for Stranger, based on my last album. May 16th 6-9 at Groundfloor (160 Glendale blv) with a special musical performance by FELLA. There will be food and drinks and I would love to see you there!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the great women who have been there for us every step of the way! None of us are here without a Mama. And to my fellow moms who are so beautifully balancing their work with raising our next generation, it’s the greatest most important job on earth. Bless you! 💕💕💕💕💕 Even despite the post-fire diaspora, we don’t miss a Mother’s Day… Being together with our moms yesterday was sooo much fun, first at the home of my brother @davidtimoner and “sister-wife” @kellypushywhite - and then venturing to see my son @juki_timoner who is waiting tables as a fresh young college grad (and playing in bands before going for his MFA - I’m so proud of his work ethic!) I sprinkled in a few memories of my Juki as a boy too, how I loved raising him ♥️
Calling your Inner Beasts out to play! This is our 2nd Saturday Procession here in downtown Joshua Tree with paper mache animal heads created by the great @joealvarezart (and the puppets too.) So happy to share the role of GOAT with my dear friend @rachelreidwilke and to run into some of our closest friends who welcomed us into this fantastic artist community a year ago, when we spontaneously moved here post-fire… and these are all the great candidates we are inspired to support after spending time with them today before the festivities. We are confident they will help protect our basic rights and freedoms. Thanks to @kkellyyoga for bringing us together to protect our democracy at this precarious juncture.
Happy Mother’s Day & Don’t Forget to Vote before June 2nd!!! The Primary is Crucial! #artqueenvortex #localdemocracy
This is why regional festivals rock.
Such fun being the Honored Guest Filmmaker in Cascadia: Giving my Masterclass - especially sharing many clips from my career all at once and inspiring bright young filmmakers - screening LAST FLIGHT HOME, All The Walls Came Down, and DIG! with passionate audiences / adventuring this beautiful place with my beloved - on bikes, bridges and even boats - making new friends and reuniting with old…
What a gorgeous weekend!
Just back from a whirlwind 88th Birthday Tour! Happy birthday to all of our living parents, who turned 88 within three days of each other - Charlotte Doctor 4/16/38, Ron Doctor 4/18/38, and celebrating Lisa Timoner TODAY, 4/19/38. It was so much fun to see our families in a nonstop celebration of our adorable, inspiring elders (and happy almost birthday to my brother @davidtimoner who turns 52 on April 21st!) Morgan and I feel we might have been pre-destined when our moms were born with our egg forms back in April 1938. We survived WWII and so much more, to finally find each other in 2019:) Here’s a smattering of birthday cheer for our beloved Aries clan. 🎂♥️
We all lost so much in the fire. I was so lucky to have recovered so much gear that I was happy to pay forward this Telecaster to @iammorgandoctor via @altadenamusicians / @instrumentalgiving . What an amazing program that @brandonjoshuajay has started. It’s been a lifesaver for so many of us that lost our livelihoods last year. Altadena forever! #altadena #eatonfire
What a weekend, full of magical alignment love and inspiration from Patricia’s birthday to Morgan’s today with Bombay Beach Biennale adventure / Last Flight Home screening, the serendipitous & fabulous High Desert Art Fair (highlight was a great talk with @obeygiant which I will release clips from this week, meeting founder @candice_lawler and the amazing @jesshundley and reuniting with @viviengoldmanforreal after 20 years!!) and @markmothersbaugh at Pappy’s, an impromptu party at ours, and soothing hot springs / Delicia with dear friends to top it off!! Grateful for this place and the people in it.
“ODELIA” IS OUT NOW!!

What a kick ass team of women <3 Feeling very grateful to have had them part of this single’s creative journey!
Another incredible year at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, really one of our favorites. Beautiful and cathartic to be back with @heavenlyhughes “All The Walls Came Down” especially remembering that last year we were here sharing “All God’s Children” just right after the fires and pretty traumatized… It feels poetic to be back here one year later sharing the story of Altadena with so many passionate audiences of fellow Californians who have felt the shocking brunt of climate catastrophe and want to get involved and help us keep Altadena families housed and on their generational land. Thank you @claudia_puig_ and the whole amazing team @officialsbiff for including us in your community and giving our story and our fight a platform.
Here’s a peek behind the scenes of our ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN music video shoot, directed by Ondi Timoner! This shoot was full of laughter, remembrance and beautiful, newly-formed friendships in the aftermath of the fire. While the catastrophe which led to the creation of this song is a terrible tragedy, it brought us together as Altadenians and that is what this song celebrates. Join us on Sunday, February 1st - 2pm @astralab_la to see @allthewallscamedown for free with us and Heavenly Hughes of @mytriberise !
Thank you to the all of the people who worked on this song written and performed by @chantalkrev , @iammmoregandoctor & @onditimoner with additional performances by @karengravesviolin and the Elliot Middle School Children’s Choir and starring the film’s
subjects @heavenlyhughes of @mytriberise , @rand.vance.14 , Rupert Garcia,
@lisa.timoner , and @davidtimoner , Ranell Wormley and her grandson,
