SINGER/SONGWRITER/ACTRESS
On this her first solo Christmas CD she is pleased to have recorded songs in the styles (Gospel, Jazz, R&B and Pop) true to her upbringing and true to her heart. She is also happy that she had the opportunity to reunite with her friends in the Sounds of Blackness (Mary Had A Baby)(Thank you Gary Hines) as well as work with her cast members from Smokey Joe's Café (Let It Snow)(Dennis Spears -LA, Daryl Jovan-NY and Charles Johnson-NY).
This project allowed her to work with some of the Twin Cities finest musicians including Thom West-keyboards, Dean Magraw-guitar, Paul Johnson & Gary Raynor-bass, Dave Foley-Trumpet and Frank Wharton-vibes. A very special surprise finds her son Brandon stealing some of the drum spotlight from her regular drummer (her husband Robert). Check him out on Let It Snow, Mary Had a Baby and of course Drummer Boy.
Take a listen to this CD and you'll be sure to agree that there is something for everyone and that everyone will be truly pleased to have this as part of their collection.
