I am still basking in the glow of my exciting debut weekend in my new home town of Milwaukee. On Friday, April 18th I performed at The Art Bar Riverwest in a duo with Scott Currier and we had an awesome night. The crowd was fun and rowdy and Scott and I had a fantastic time navigating through a plethera of music charts without having a rehearsal before hand. But the crowd was none the wiser and everyone seemed to be enjoying the music. I have to give a special shout out to my first Milwaukee friend, Cheryl Johnson, for coming out!



Then on Saturday the 19th I was a John Hawk's Pub with my trio! The "Glo Trio" is a rotating band made up of musicians I hire for any given night. On this night I had the best of the best. Scott Currier on keys, Jon Matelski on upright bass (wicked), and Bill Sargeant on drums. These guys are pros. From the first chart clear through to the last these guys just got better and better! To top things off, Lynn Lewandowski sat in and was sizzlin' on the Tenor Sax. So The Glo Trio turned into The Glo Quartet!!! We covered a wide range of material from Nat King Cole, to Ella Fitzgerald, to Aretha Franklin.



And, I have to mention my guests who came through and rocked the house. Jeannine Rivers sang "Summertime" to perfection and Julie Thompson sang "Willow Weep for Me" with beauty and feeling. I'll be performing with these ladies at the Riverwest Commons on May 3rd and I can't wait!!! And last but not least, "Sweet Bobby" Jiles sang "Let's Stay Together" and brought an old-school R&B feeling to the mix!



What a thrill it is to be able to sing the songs and the style of music you love, and this weekend I did just that! I'm excited to find my place in the wonderful music scene here in Milwaukee!!!
