Performing for me allows me to engage with others in a form where they can relate to what I am singing about. I think it is important that we as artist continue to encourage and inspire our communities near and far.
We are rebuilding trust and it can be fickle. So with the arts overall it keeps

I had the opportunity to perform for the Fire Escape Series at WPAA in October of 2020. It was a hard year for musicians. I can’t begin to say how good it felt to play the series. It meant a lot to me as to performer that WPAA was working to give us an outlet to express ourselves and share new music that was being created in a strange and uncertain time, and reflected that. We expressed ourselves the way we do best, through song. WPAA is a gem for supporting the abundance of original local artists in CT. I’m grateful for the opportunity they gave me.

It was a wonderful experience to do a live stream concert at WPAA. We were treated like royalty and given the opportunity to reach a new audience with my original music. The skill and care taken with the live stream was extended by getting the opportunity to share the performance again online. A lovely time captured on video.

It was an honor to have been able to …help bring live local music of all kinds to the airways. The opportunities afforded artists, from brand new to famous, the chance to share their stories and their music. To this day, I still receive thanks from those who enjoyed and benefited from the experiences & opportunities the project created

I had no idea that the arts were so available locally! More than just a TV station!
