THANK YOU!] Dear Friends, I am very excited to be releasing a new CD, and the first in 6 years! This, my 7th full-length recording is called "Hope" and will feature my signature mix of original and cover songs done in ways you wouldn't expect and hopefully won't soon forget. :) I have been working with my record producer/engineer/brother Giscard "Giz" Xavier (Giz Matic) on this album, as we've worked together on a few of my previous ones. I am looking forward to performing my title track "Hope (Find Me This Way)" (original) with vocalists Debra D'Alessandro and Tracy Mace, and collaborating with Monica McIntyre, as well as enjoying the music of the Roadshow Relics and comedy of Phyllis Voren. I know and really like and admire everyone on the bill and will be posting updates about our upcoming show frequently. The show will be packed and the ticket price is very reasonable (because we want you to buy CDs, too!) Hope to see you there!
