This album is dedicated to all the passionate artists out there who are doing good work even if the world can’t see or hear it; you are the “secret lovers” of your time. Read B’WAY WORLD interview.

We are thrilled to announce that our ninth studio album will be available August 1st! “Mid-Century Modern” is a ten-song tour de force ranging from the opening swing tune Mid-Century Modern to the closing anthem One Last Time and making all the stops along the way: a contemporary memoir Small Town, a pop anthem The Sound of My Voice, a mystery duet Our Little Secret, a song of hopeful yearning with a Latin vibe Piñata, a country waltz I Love You, Still, a comic turn Weird Little Club, a modern torch song Insanity, and a rock ‘n’ roll rant Can’t Get There From Here. This album is “sticky.” The songs will stay with you long after listening. BUY NOW!
