Springing All Over The Place

I tell ya -- when it rains, it pours!

From Easter Sunday at Middle Collegiate Church to three backing vocal gigs, this week is a flood of wonderful music with great musicians!

Here are the two shows coming up this week that you can come find me at:

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19
Cliff Westfall and Li’l Mo (Monica Passin)
The 11th Street Bar
510 E 11th Street, NYC
9 p.m.

I'm proud to be both singing with BOTH bands on this bill. I'll be singing backup for Li'l Mo (with Sherryl Marshall on harmonies), and I’m doing a duet with Cliff at the 11th Street Bar, so come on by.

SUNDAY, APRIL 23
Sherita and The Girleens
The Treehouse at 2A
25 Avenue A, NYC
8:30 p.m.

Come see Sherita and The Girleens (Sherryl Marshall with Stephanie Seymour, Deborah Berg McCarthy, Leslie Wagner, Emily Bindiger, Elise Morris, and Tricia Scotti) singing their hearts out for all of you. Featuring the fabulous band: Charles Giordano, Fred Walcott, Lincoln Schleifer, and Paul Pimsler.

We love Tom Clark and the Treehouse and are happy to be playing there. Get there early, have a few drinks, and enjoy the music!

My Easter Sunday was bookended with singing! First, I had the great honor of singing a solo with the Middle Collegiate Church Jerriese Johnson Gospel Choir on "Mary Don't You Weep" at Easter Sunday services this week.

Full disclosure: I haven't watched this video yet. The message — the power of faith and the power of community — and experience of singing this song with the choir truly transported me, so it's very strange to see that from the outside after having experienced it from the inside!

I hope this gives you a taste of how it was in the sanctuary on Sunday!


That night, I headed to the Treehouse at 2A for Tom Clark’s “Tribute to Jesus: A Night Celebrating our Favorite Hippie.” I got to soak in some fun covers of Jesus-themed songs, and I contributed an acoustic version of “Long as I Got King Jesus” and my take on Kris Kristofferson’s “Why Me Lord.”

This Thursday, the next round of Singing Seniors starts up at the Lenox Hill Senior Center.

And on Sunday, my song “Wild” — an old favorite from “Places Where I Dream” — enters rotation over at Women of Substance Radio. I’ll share more details when I have them!

Many good wishes to you!
