Wow, you definitely have to check out Eddie Tobin performing with me in
the DUELING PIANOS format at Riviera Dunes Dockside Social Bar & Grill!
Only a few show dates per month, but they are quite special and not to be missed...
Eddie is a phenomenal pianist & vocalist and the two of us have a blast on stage!

It's definitely been awhile... I'm really loving the scene here on the Gulf Coast of Florida!
Lots of jazz fans and everybody seems to connect with my "music menu" concept.
Many new venues in 2018--keep checking in on the ITINERARY page for frequent updates.

Main Street Trattoria, Euphemia Haye Loft and Cafe L'Europe are still regular gigs for me.
This season I am adding Caddy's at the Pointe, Blase Cafe & Martini Bar, and Blu Mangrove!

The Terrace Bar at the Surf Shack, Amore downtown, and a few other great clubs in the wings.
I'm hoping to get more regular bookings at these venues, but for now, subbing is just as fun!
__________________________________________________________

Not a lot of new updates lately, mostly getting myself settled into the new city.
HOWEVER, I strongly encourage any of you who are still in the area (or back in time)
To make it out to Marchand's at The Vinoy Renaissance in St. Petersburg, FL
For my show on September 30th, 2017, with Eddie Tobin on piano & Joe Porter on bass.
Two Phenomenal Musicians and "hands free" singing for this gal!
See you there!!!
Oh, and if you decide to make a weekend of it, contact me for discount rates on rooms.

I have been getting requests to perform in "the other great cities" of Florida for years now.
After 900 gigs in less than 3 years here in this beautiful paradise,
I think the time has come to spread my wings and fly north for the winter!
Check out my itinerary for some new venues around the state and I do hope I see you soon!

WOW! It's been a while... Thanks for a FANTASTIC run at Chicago's in Key West!
