Hi There!

Welcome to my musical world.  I’m the leader of the San Francisco-based International Jazz Trio, blending American standards with a touch of Latin, French, and Italian flair. We believe music has the power to connect people, and we love sharing our passion for jazz with the community. Explore this website to discover my latest performances, read my blog, and get ready to experience the magic of live music!  I love singing, performing, collaborating and connecting people.  I  also like to share my love of music with community.  Here’s a video of some of my recent performances.   Thanks for visiting!  

Stay tuned for new performance dates

It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the Sunday Jazz residency at Maykadeh Restaurant. While I’m grateful for the past 14 months of enriching experiences, I’m also excited to embark on new musical adventures!
A huge thank you to my incredible bandmates, Dave Austin and Bob Blankenship and the amazing Maykadeh team, and the special guest singers who made each show unique. Most importantly, thank you to my supportive fans, friends and family.

Wonderful Moment Captured During December 10, 2023 American Bites Show!

Summer fun and music for you!

 

 

Is your summer turning out the way you planned?  Mine isn’t and contrary to what that sounds like, it’s turned out to be really wonderful! Our plans were to spend a week in June on a houseboat on Lake Shasta.  That plan fizzled out when the boat’s motor died and sent the boat to drydock for most of the summer.  So, we pivoted… we thought,  “Why not keep with the boat theme and check out one of our bucket list destinations, Alaska?  Through the magic of the internet, in one morning we were able to book a Princess Cruise to Alaska’s Inside Passage leaving from San Francisco for the same dates as our original plans.  For locals, traveling by ship to Alaska from San Francisco offers two  bonuses:  being able to carry on two huge suitcases per person and the amazing experience of sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge on a giant cruise-ship.
Alaska is  something else indeed!  All the sights of natural beauty are super- sized.  We saw whale, eagles, waterfalls, spectacular glaciers and icebergs.
Once aboard the ship, I learned about “The Voice of the Ocean,” a singing contest mimicking the TV show of the same name.  Even though  I was on vacation to relax and see new places, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to audition for the show.  With the help of my Lola character, I ended up being one of the six finalists.   I didn’t win the competition, but I enjoyed the experience and being being treated as a mini celebrity aboard the ship.  What was surprisingly the most challenging part of the experience wasn’t the bright lights, performing for hundreds of  people nor the pressure of competition, it was balancing on heels at the front of the ship during a very choppy stretch of ocean during my actual performance!
