human connection
through
heartfelt music

gift for engaging and connecting with
her listeners. Whether sharing a
traditional ballad, a rollicking
instrumental, or a piece of humorous
social satire, she brings a lucid and
refreshing quality of intelligent,
respectful, open-hearted presence to
her work. In the face of so many
forces that separate and isolate us,
her goal is to be joyfully subversive,
drawing her listeners into an
experience of contact, ease, mutuality,
gusto and Big Fun.
