CD Release Party Alert!
Posted on | April 11, 2011
I’ve always loved the month of April. I love the tiny yellow daffodils with the white bells. I love rain. I love the in-between-ness of this time of year. So hopeful and full of anticipation.

It’s in that spirit that I give you my latest disc. This Friday, April 15, is the official release concert for “The Goodbye Party.” And a party it will be! I’m thrilled to be performing in the new HanesBrands Theatre. I’m even more excited about the musicians with whom I’ll be playing. Most of you know my band. Sam, Pat, Eddie, and Ben will be there in good form. If you’ve heard the disc, you already know that some of the tracks are augmented with strings and horns. For this concert we’ve invited string players from the Winston-Salem Symphony (Corine Brauwer, Andrew Emmett, Louise Campbell, and Alex Johnston) led by arranger, Josh Weesner. My friend and favorite jazz trumpeter, Ken Wilmot, will be with us as well.
All we need to make the evening complete is you. After all, it’s for you that we made this record in the first place. This is the time to hear the music when it’s shiny and new and shimmering with strings. The doors open at 7pm and we’ll count off the first song at 8pm. Reserve your seat and I’ll see you there.
