Dreams DO come true! Little did we know when she began with me 11 years ago, the healing effects of music for Lexi would ripple out to thousands across the globe. This spring, my student Lexi sang “Traveling Mercy” at the Light Up The Blues Concert. The evening raised over $250,000 for children with autism. This is one of the reasons I do what I do. I am so so proud of her! Please see this article from Autism Speaks to read about the night’s success and to view pictures.

The Light Up The Blues Concert has been a catalyst for dreaming big for me as well. I have had an amazing summer recording new songs and production planning for an upcoming video shoot in a few weeks. I can’t wait to share it with you!

My voice student, Lexington Aaron, is going to be featured on Light Up The Blues Concert, April 13 at the Nokia Theater! She will be singing the gospel-blues song, “People Get Ready”, by Curtis Mayfield. I’ll be there supporting her on piano, along with the CSN band! We are over the moon!

We will be doing a piano-vocal duo; my original song “Traveling Mercy”!
