I am thrilled to share Amanda Wilde of 94.9 KUOW’s “The Swing Years and Beyond” will play a few selections from my albums this Saturday, 2/22/14, from 7pm to midnight. Amanda’s program “features popular music of the 1920s – 1950s… mix of Jazz, swing, ballads, blues, show tunes and bebop showcases the relationships between these various musical styles.” I’m extremely honored and humbled to be a part of this because I’m the first contemporary artist to be featured – so please tune in on your radio or online! Thank you so much!

Just a reminder: I’m performing this Saturday evening, 2/15/14, at the Swing Dance Party in Columbia City, starting at 6pm. Hope you can join us for a great evening!

To be or not to be, let our hearts discover”

Your heart will break like mine and you’ll want me only.”
