Happy Halloween, friends!
I am so excited about playing tonight at Morning Call in City Park from 8-11pm (THIS IS A TIME CHANGE). I love Halloween and dressing up. Blake Richard will be on piano tonight and we will be dressed up in our favorite costumes with candy at the ready. If you are going to be in City Park for the pumpkin patch, swing on by after and we will sing you some of your favorite songs! After your kids go trick or treating tonight, bring the family out for some beignets and coffee. We love to see all of the costumes!
We had such a wonderful time last week. We played some of your favorite Disney and Broadway tunes, as well as our favorite jazz classics. After taking a few requests, we sang some Earth, Wind, and Fire, Kiss, Rachel Platten, and even Def Leppard. Talk about all over the place! It was so much fun! I can't wait to see what surprises tonight has in store for us!

Hello darlings,
We will be playing tomorrow night at Morning Call in the Oaks from 7-10pm. We're doing something a little different tomorrow, we will be having a jazz DUO for your listening pleasure! My friend and classmate, Blake Richard, will be on the keys tomorrow night. He is incredibly talented and I'm very excited to play with him! We used to play in the band, Developmental Groove, together and I can't wait to perform with him again. I hope y'all can make it to Morning Call tomorrow night to hear us!
Love,
Sabrina

Great performance last night at Morning Call in the Oaks! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to support us. Brendan, Amina, and I truly appreciate it. We had a great time playing some tunes and watching everyone sing along, laugh, and dance with us. Last night, I met so many wonderful individuals who were extremely generous and kind. I hope to see many of you again at performances in the future.

If you enjoyed last night, we will be back at Morning Call this Friday, September 4th from 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm.

I will post some videos from last night soon. Stay tuned!

We have videos up!

I have posted some videos from my recent performances on my YouTube channel. These performances came from my gig at Buffa's bar and restaurant in New Orleans. Great gig with some great musicians including Nic Lefebvre on the bass and Brendan Carmichael on the guitar. Looking forward to playing with them again.

Next gig is at Buffa's on September 20th. If anything comes up before then, I will let you know. Until then, enjoy the clips I've posted online.
