Joy pours out of us in so many different forms, and it multiplies when we share it. The joy from this service and this song takes the form of handclaps, high notes, criminally funky bass lines, and silly faces shared amongst bandmates. #easter #gospel
This band has had a few different musical homes in NYC since we started about 12 years ago. For us thereโs been no place like @arthurstavern_nyc It doesnโt happen by accident. Itโs the people. The people that work there, the people that show up, and the people we are so lucky to call bandmates, and beyond that dear friends. @petertraunmueller and @dannylipsitzmusic are family. Iโd say last night was one for the books, but honestly, they all are. It feels like going home every time we walk in the door. ๐ธ by the ever supportive @stayoffmybeat
If anybody asks you who I amโฆwhat would you tell them? So blessed to get to sing with this choir and some of the best musicians in all of NYC!

A transcendent, joyful finale to an amazing concert! Love Fights Back: Joy Springs Forth was everything we needed and more. Thank you to our amazing Music Directors, choir, band, and clergy team for putting something together that filled us with the expansive, fierce love that is needed to fight back against division and despair. We expected a miracle, and we got one!
