I started working on SWAMP in 2014, a sci-fi musical drama set in the future 🐊 When 12 years ago the vision for this world and all the characters came to me, I knew it was the feeling of getting a massive download from the divine. The story is so potent and the music celebrates the heritage and culture of the swamp. It all evokes so many themes and traditions that resonate deeply with me and that the world needs. I was so proud (and nervous!) to share a snippet of the concept with the world for the first time at Jazz fest this Sunday when we closed out the Blues Tent. It felt like the perfect time and place to do it. Playing LAST CHANCE and COUNTRY STAR for the first time for folks felt so good!
Team we did it! It means so much to me and I am so grateful to the cast and crew who made it possible. We really set something very significant in motion. And thank you to everyone who came to see it ♥️ I'm not sure what's next but just taking in this massive moment and excited for more to come !
