An evening of perspectives through love songs that will take you through a gamut of feels. A heartfelt set of english pop ballads - covers as well as originals from my EP - Things I have to Say. Have a sneak peek at some of my unreleased music too.
Love may be universal but ballads just seem to have a way of capturing love’s many nuances. The moments are few and far between where we fully allow ourselves to hit that pause button and sit down long enough to ponder, feel and simply be grateful for the many people who walk into our lives and contribute to our journey of love and loss. So much of what we strive for and achieve are driven by feelings we choose to empower or run away from, in one form or another. Love shouldn’t have to be judged or shamed but something to be felt and celebrated no matter where it takes you. Treat yourself, your friends, your family or even that special someone to an evening dedicated to love and love’s many reflections, through music and song.
