Please join me for the first reading of my new musical “The Sunny Survival Caravan!” on Sunday May 21 at 2:00 p.m. at Atwater Village Theatre 3269 Casitas Ave, in Los Angeles. Tickets are FREE but you’re encouraged to R.S.V.P. through THIS LINK. The reading is part of the “First Peek” Reading Series by the L.A.-based Playwrights Union.

SYNOPSIS of “The Sunny Survival Caravan!”:
Fifteen years after the collapse of civilization, a misfit traveling band of musicians perform their relentlessly cheerful nostalgia show as they travel from settlement to settlement, throughout a decimated not-so-united states, sometime in the post-apocalyptic, climate-ravaged, accordion-filled future.

Darla, Gabriela, Razz, Chester, and Banger have managed to tour what's left of the former United States for over a year – no small feat in these difficult times. Their optimistic message and varied song stylings are wildly popular, and they’ve even rigged up an old stationary bicycle to an old battery to have some amplification and lighting, thanks to some strings of old patio and Christmas lights. When the newest and youngest member of the band, Evvie, joins them, she challenges their determination to perform only the most upbeat odes to nostalgia.

By the show’s hopeful end, we see that the healing power of music can lift us up by gathering us all together, even during the darkest times.

Cast to be announced soon. Please come out and support new theater!

With amazing percussion from Jonathan Feinberg and recording production artistry from Raffi at AF Records, please enjoy the new recording of a song I wrote many years ago, “The Poppyseed Bread (Made a Hole in the Ground).” It will take literally two minutes.

It was so fun to pull these harmonies together for this silliness. And who doesn’t need a bit of silliness right about now?

(Also available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, etc.) Please share!

Here’s a silly romp with Punch & Judy — “Perfectly Awful” is a song written by the brilliant Brian Woodbury as part of his “Levity & Novelty” CD available here. We had a blast shooting this video, hope you enjoy it!

Sad to hear about the closing of a legendary Los Angeles nightclub/venue called Rockwell Table & Stage. I had the privilege of performing here a few years ago as part of their series “A Little New Music” which showcased songs from brand new musicals.

I got to sing “People Person” which was written by Brian Woodbury for his musical “Ghost-s: The Musical” in which I play an evil real estate developer. Take a few minutes to watch the video:

As soon as it’s safe to do so, please support your local music and theater establishments. They’re gonna need all the help they can get. And seeing live performance is good for the soul!!

Difficult times call for difficult instruments, perhaps more difficult for my listeners than for me! I’ll try to break the monotony of anxiety with the occasional tune. Recorded at home via my phone (sans makeup or hair!). Here’s a few for you:

I'm looking forward to singing Brian Woodbury's hilarious song "People Person" at the acclaimed L.A. musical theater series "A Little New Music" on Wednesday, June 3 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets available here (they sell out quickly).

Hosted by Tony-winner Daisy Eagan and Jordan Kai Burnett, "A LITTLE NEW MUSIC is a fast-paced hour of the best new or unheard musical theater songs out there. Whether it’s a recent premiere from an established writer or an undiscovered tune from a promising up-and-comer, our mission is to entertain with a program that keeps your finger on the pulse." And who doesn't want their finger on the pulse? I mean, where else should that finger be?

It all takes place at Rockwell Table & Stage (1714 N. Vermont Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90027, in Los Feliz). It even has its own theme song!  Should be a fun night, please join us!
