🤍🥹 Thank you so much with my whole heart to everyone who came down to The JazzLab on Friday night!! Gahhhh those nights just fill my cup and ground me and remind me again the power of live music. I am so beyond grateful to have had two of the absolute best up there with me on that stage, Dave Tweedie @the_tweedman and James Bowers @keendude… thank you boys for your insane musicianship and sensitivity, and for creating magic with those songs. And huge shout out to my amazing guest and sister Baptiste @iambaptiste for joining me and bringing the absolute fire to that Alabama Shakes song! And of course a huge thank you to JazzLab @thejazzlabbennettslane for having us all 🫶🏽

Here are a few snippets (thank you to those who sent me video!!! You know who you are 😉🙏🏽), and also some rehearsal footage because why not.
