I'm going to do my show at Noce on Friday. I think of the place as a kind of sanctuary & try to keep it open whenever possible. I believe in art as a tool for advocacy & change & I also believe in its power to soothe or provide escape.

I've been inspired by good people in Minnesota showing up both strong & kind as hell. I am hopeful for better days & also counting on enough people remaining kind AND strong in the days to come. Hang tough & do whatever good you can in your corner of the world.

The first music I fell in love with was from Ella Fitzgerald's Songbook albums. The lyrics, the melodies, & those beautiful arrangements pretty much set the course for my life! Ever since then, I've been obsessed with the work of great songwriters. Tonight I'll be singing a set at Noce full of songs from some of the greats: Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, & Richard Rodgers. We'll go into their lives a bit & cover some great songs along the way. You should come thru! Hit me up for tickets.

I absolutely adore this show & the people who perform in it. Tonight: singing & dancing to Ellington, Gershwin, Ray Charles, Radiohead , some of my own songs, & much more. It's one-of-a-kind, made right here at Noce . If you miss it, you... miss it.
