Bastille Month + Performing with Piano Royalty
Hi there,
It's a pleasure to have been performing consistently in the past couple of months.
July is an important time for me because everyone is famished for French music. As far as I know, I don't have national anthems to sing at the moment... but I will be voting tomorrow for the French legislative elections so I will do my part of being a good citizen!
Over the years, I have performed numerous times with accordionist Will Holshouser and it's always a privilege. We will be playing together on #BastilleDay with Conal Fowkes who has performed his music on the Woody Allen film Magic in the Moonlight. I did voices for that picture, but we never met... here's a chance to hear us together ??
