SAVE THE DATE! 7:30 pm Friday, June 26th… Come cheer on my OCEAN Trio (Lisa Moscatiello, Stephen Winick, and Yours Truly) as we perform my very first Protest Song! I had never turned my pen to writing a protest and rallying cry, so it was a new style for me… I usually write about life passages and seasonal songs… but these times we’re living through call upon us all to employ our talents for the fight!!

Together with many other DC-area musicians, we will express our patriotism in our own way, as well as our hopes for our country’s future. It’s a FREE event, so show up by 7 pm to queue up for a seat!
