"To Mackenzie, your dad is lazy" -David Sedaris. Last night I had the privilege of seeing @davidsedarisbooks read at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. It was truly hysterical 😂📚
I queued up to have him sign his new children’s book for my daughter at 9:30 ⏰ By 11:45 I waved the white flag and headed home with the hopes of a decent sleep
Fortunately, the lovely people ahead of us in line offered to get David to sign my book

10 years ago in Boston, Darynn Dean and I shared the stage for the very first time, performing “It Happened in Monterey” as part of a Frank Sinatra tribute. 🎙️🎺
Now, a decade later, we’re coming back together for something brand new at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
Before June 25 arrives, here’s a little look back at where it all began. ✨
Beyond excited to share the stage with Darynn again. What a singer. What a musician.

How lucky am I to be conducting the music of Frank Sinatra 🎙️✨ with strings, featuring my fabulous students in the VSO School Big Band 🎷🔥, @vsosinfonietta 🎻, and the inimitable Steve Maddock 🙌
You can travel far and wide and you won’t find anyone who sings this music better than Steve Maddock. Goodness gracious...what a telent.
We play this Sunday at the Bell Centre 🎶🎟️ Link in bio 🔗
I’m beyond excited to announce this 🎉
