Hello my friends, it’s 2024 and that sounds pretty sci fi to me.
Hope you’re all riding the wave. I have shows for you socialites.
This very Sunday the 11th of February – I’ll be with the house band at Stingo Blues from 6.30pm
I’ve leapt at the opportunity to sing songs by my favourite R&B women – Betty Everett, Sugarpie DeSanto, Ruth Brown, Priscilla Bowman, Ann Cole and a swinging blues I’ve borrowed from Aretha are in my set.
Yorkshire Stingo Hotel – 48 Hoddle St, Abbotsford
Thursday 7 March – At last I’m screening the moody, swampy (literally) dreamy video clip for my song SAME SPELL made by Georgina Durham. The original release date was hijacked but this luscious 3 minute cine feast is now ready for your consumption. I’ll be doing a set with Catherine McQuade and Amy Valent Curlis post our viewing. We have a special guests on tap.
The Merri Creek Tavern 111 High St, Abbotsford 8pm.
