I kicked off this leg of the tour with Scott Neubert, musician extraordinaire, best producer any girl could ask for and an amazing friend. We performed in my living room through Stage It an online performance venue. It was a great turn out and I want to thank all of you who attended and donated money to help fund my road expenses.
I then headed to Philly with Renee Wahl. Renee is from Philadelphia and had heaps of her friends

My good friend Jennifer Logue is the host of the show Rock on Philly and had invited me to play their Tuesday night show. I'll forever be in debt to Jennifer for thinking of me and always supporting my music. We met through the magazine I write for, I was offered a column and she was my first story, and we have been friends ever since.
It is almost inevitable that a musician runs into a little bit of strife while on the road. My car started overheating and I was concerned. Renee contacted a friend Rob Branco aka (Cousin Rob) and he put me in touch with a gentleman named Donnie DiDonato, please forgive me if I got the last name wrong. He owns the Advance Auto on 1826 South 11th, Philadelphia, PA 19148, he took me in right away, fixed me up and even drove me around the city to make sure the problem was fixed before sending me on my way. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness and concern. A genuine soul and thank you seems too little of words. BUT, THANK YOU so very much! If anyone is ever in need of work done in Philly go see Donnie!
I'm headed to NYC today and playing at the Ella Lounge, 9 Avenue A. NY, NY at 9pm. I'm looking forward to see what this night will bring. I have been wanting to play Manhattan my whole life, for me, this is a milestone of my career. To be able to share it with the amazing Renee Wahl is an added bonus. I'm hoping for another packed house and looking forward to seeing some old friends and making some new ones.
