What's New

greetings everyone,

it's a complicated and challenging time for many, but i hope everyone who reads this is surrounded by LOVE, light and hope for the future. we need each other more now than ever. please give generously to organizations and charities that align with your purpose and your values.  war, genocide, global poverty and planetary health are issues that cannot be ignored …  we ALL must play our part in reversing this!

i am  grateful for  many, many things and i am thrilled that i have the opportunity to share music, positive vibrations and healing energy with folks i love and admire. thank you for passing through and for your continued support. 2024  looks promising on the creative front, and there are some special concerts that i think you'll enjoy. for more information, keep reading

in the meantime, peace, love and blessings
