We're BACK AT IT after the 2+-year hiatus experienced by pretty much every touring music-maker on the planet (not to mention everyone else!). This said, I'll be cutting back on my fall live performances to focus on songwriting and my choral work...but the summer of 2023 promises some fun as my Band of Local Honeys and I continue to reconnect with all of you and each other. We love playing interesting venues and this season charms us with a few. It's the official Second Summer of Love (or Music= same thing to me).
Join my mailing list to get the buzz first!

Sommelier Chris Marcucci and Musician Abby Zotz - themselves a dynamic duo - join forces for this two-part event. Chris kicks the evening off with wine and food tastings that reveal the basics in pairing to help you get the most out of your meal from start to finish. Abby and her band of Local Honeys, along with very special guest, Bryan Williston, follow with a set of songs matched to one another by theme, tone or performance configuration - there may even be a band-audience pair-up or two in the mix - that will send you home cozy and satisfied.
