Two Upcoming Livestream Events

Hi friends,

Hope everyone is doing well and getting through the winter! I have two virtual livestream concerts coming up at the end of the month that you can enjoy from the safety and warmth of your own home:

On Friday February 26 at 6:30pm, I’ll be live from the Saugatuck Center for the Arts in Saugatuck, MI, for a Solo Piano concert as part of their Hemphy Keyboard Series. I’ll be playing some new music that I’ve been working on in quarantine, as well as some old music from months and years ago. My first solo piano gig in a very long time. Would be great for you to join me virtually! Tickets are $20, and can be purchased here:

On Saturday February 27 at 2:00pm, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will broadcast Jazz from Detroit: Virtual Music Marathon. In November, Balance (myself and Marcus Elliot) sat down in front of a limited live audience in Orchestra Hall for an interview and performance with author Mark Stryker about jazz, Detroit, our influences, and the legacy of this music. Our show is part of 5 hour festival presentation, featuring performances and interviews with jazz legends Charles McPherson, Robert Hurst, and Regina Carter. Tickets are only $9, and can be purchased here:

Hope to virtually see you at one or both of these! Stay safe, and thanks as always for your support,
