An Affair To Remember...

I'm not talking about the 1957 classic film (one of my faves), but a recent magical evening that I will hold dear to my heart. My first live band show rocking songs from my debut record. Tuesday April 10th, 2012.

One word to describe the night? Nostalgic. It had been almost 4 years since I've performed as lead singer (solo artist) with a full band. Heck, it had been about 10 months since I had performed with a full band, period! I longed for this night. Felt the familiar bubbly butterflies minutes before taking the stage. The sudden burst of explosion inside of me upon hearing the count in to begin the first song. Everything I had remembered came back to me. Fast.

I'm so thankful to the brilliant musicians who rocked out with me. Kiel Tyler on drums, Josh Henson on electric guitar, Ethan Forrest on electric guitar, Suzanne Rohrer on violin, Jay Gorman on bass, Michael Hughes on keys, and David Jeremy on acoustic guitar and bgvs. Without their pop powered professionalism, I wouldn't have been able to pull it off! The consistent effort and praise from my managers is unreal! And all of my wonderful friends, family and fans who came out MADE my night! The amount of support I have from them is almost undeserving. I appreciate it so much!

I haven't gotten my hands on shots of the actual show (waiting on my dear friends to forward), but here are a few from the early morning/afternoon rehearsal and the after "party". More photos and VIDEO to come soon!
 Suzanne and me during rehearsal.
 Love her.
