Lucie's CD signing and we won the Bistro Award!

Hello Friends:

Check your date books and calendars and mark this date if you are in New York or heading to New York!

Friday, March 26th 2010 at noon at J & R Music World 23 Park Row, NYC 10038. My pal and super songbird, Lucie Arnaz and her equally talented son and guitarist, Joe Luckinbill (who, not only wrote one of his mom's songs for her new CD but guests with her on it as well) will be there for a short performance and signing of her new CD Latin Roots. Joe's new CD simply titled Joe Luckinbill will be there and available for purchase as well!

Also at the show to make sure they keep it authentic will be the Legendary percussionist himself, Papo Pepin, and I'll be there with my husband Garrett, friends Tom Vaughn and Walter Willison as we sing back-up for Lucie, just like we did on her CD!

It's going to be lots of fun.



The 2010 Bistro Silver Anniversary Awards announced its list of recipients today, and The Concerts at Tudor City Greens was given a Special Award!
