Latest News

Greetings everyone!

Happy New Year everyone. It is my hope that 2024 brings you a year full of health, happiness and LIVE MUSIC! Did you know that study after study has shown that concerts have a huge impact on physical and mental health. The health benefits of live music range from physical to mental: Concerts reduce stress, release happy hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, improve brain function and longevity, provide essential social connection, and even relieve pain. Essentially, your live music habit is really, really good for you.

Guess what? You are in luck. There's live music right here in Anchorage. While I don't play public gigs with nearly as much frequency as I used to (think...retirement age...travel...sleep...family time...) there's plenty of fantastic live music to be heard every week in our vicinity! I hope you'll resolve to get out and hear more live music in 2024. Please check my "Appearances Page" for Jazzmom dates and venues. I'd love to play for you.

Until then,"Be Kind and Sing On!"
