If you haven’t caught on yet, my next album “Third Time’s the Charm” will be released in June! We’ve been breadcrumbing you all with singles, but I promise the payoff is worth the wait…the album’s got 14 tracks, so more than enough music is headed your way! The official NYC Album Release Show will be at Dizzy’s Club Jazz @ Lincoln Center on Monday, June 26th, so circle that on the calendar now!
On top of that, my band will be touring all over the country (and the world!) this year, so I’ll be featuring the new music wherever I go. I've been booking up a storm, trying to hit tons of clubs and cities I haven’t been to yet, and it’s crazy to think about but practically the entire year is already nearly booked.
