New gig

I am very excited that my good friend L.P. has asked me to be her musical director for a upcoming showcase and some gigs in the next few months. L.P. is a truly incredible person and has one of the most amazing voices around. I have had the pleasure of working with her a bunch with the Bardot Sessions and it is always fun to see what she would do with all the covers that we did. She is now signed with a really great management team and with producer REDOne’s label and it seems like she has all the right kind of momentum behind her; she also is writing some absolutely incredible songs these days. I am putting together a truly amazing band for her and I can’t wait to start playing around showcasing her and her awesome new material. Expect to be hearing a lot of L.P. this year.

For now here is a clip from a little while back of L.P. singing a great Jeff Buckley tune at the Bardot Sessions.
