Happy Spring, my Friend!

It is absolutely gorgeous outside and I am so overwhelmed by it all! I know that sounds cheesy...but it's true!  Spring reminds me that, just like clockwork, the Universe (and by that I mean God), knows when to whip out the sun, bury the snow, and make way for fresh flowers. He makes all things new! 
 
Honestly 2012 has been an incredible year! I have been playing much much less and enjoying so many other things and people! This Spring brings many exciting things and will be very full...so please read and be a part if you can :)
 
 
Live at The Kelly Strayhorn Theater
We're pretty excited about this show. Myself, Jason Rafalak (upright bass), Eleanor Graham (cello), and Ryan Socrates (percussion), have practiced pretty long and hard for this Pittsburgh show...and we hope you'll come! The KST is a beautiful 350-seat theater in Pittsburgh's East End and the evening takes off at 9pm THIS FRIDAY! details
 

Spring Tour:  Eich, Ike, & Scobie Northeast Tour
Do you know JD Eicher or Kurt Scobie? They are dear friends of mine...and we will be touring together this April/May. I'm pretty happy to be traveling with friends...not to mention two guys who will not only carry my keyboard for me *hehe* but act as bodyguards! YES! I won't have to carry mace in my back pocket! :)  Save the dates and expect more details in the future.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
 And love will not break your heart,  but dismiss your fears
 Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
