"UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOVE" Sunday May 12th at 2:00PM BUY TICKETS FOR MAY 12th HERE!!! Romance, loneliness, sex, obsession, addiction, forgiveness, pleasure, acceptance, service, joy! --- just some of the facets of the musical stories I will be telling in this new musical expose’ of my living under the negative influences of selfish, insecure love, and learning to let go and trust in the postive influence of pure Love. It’s a new concert exploring my personal journey through all its various expressions. As I have been choosing the songs for this show from writers across several decades and genres, I realize my personal struggles seem to be quite universal! I know my own songs will tell their stories -- I’m nervously excited to share some of my writing with you! But I am mostly relying on the insightful material of some of my favorite artists (like Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Bette Midler, Babs, KD Lang, Jennifer Holliday, Heart, Todd Rundgren) and diverse songwriters to help reveal some of the questions, delusions, agonies, mistakes, delights, pitfalls, recognitions, revelations, and new intentions we all make under the influence of love. This show will contain some adult themes and material, and might not be suitable for younger audiences. Accompanied by my wonderful and diverse trio - pianist Peter Supersano, bassist Joe McKenna, and percussionist Eric Middleton, and there will be several wonderful generous local singers joining me as well! We will weave pop, rock, R&B, jazz and theatrical songs into a colorful tapestry of love’s many shades. Tickets: $18 Seniors/Students, $20 General, and $25 at the Door We will be video-taping, so bring your best applause!
