I hope you can join me for one of these two special nights! Musical storytelling has been such a blessing in my life. I’m honored to make music with two of the most talented pianists in town, both sharing the keys, Pops (Adaron) Jackson of Jazz St Louis and my partner Scott Schoonover of Union Avenue Opera. We’ll be joined by a combo and two surprise guest artists, both an asset to the local singing community. Act 1 follows my less-than-normal Coming Out story and my mental health journey while Act 2 focuses on my social work career and I’m sharing some of my bigger social work dreams in front of an audience for the first time. My attitude for both evenings: I’m Calm!!!
