PMD @ Union Project Tonight & in Rochester, NY tomorrow!

Ho diggity.....

It's been a lovely thick and crazy week my friends!  
I have been very excited, just sent the artwork and music off to the disc making people, 1000 copies of "Merry ChistmaChannaKwanzaa Vol 1.1" are on their way! Cover art by Rob Rogers of "Brewed on Grant" fame on the outside and my new hit single "Picksburgh Xmas" arranged by Miguel Sague III within..... As soon as I have them in my hot little hands I  hope to sell each and every one of you at least 2 copies. 

Until then..... tonight I am singing at the Union Project at 801 N  Negley Avenue in East Liberty, for the Initiative for Transgender Leadership. They are hosting a Commencement Celebration. ITL is about to honor their first fellow, Rayden Sorock. We are celebrating the completion of the inaugural 10-month fellowship program dedicated to the professional development and leadership of transgender youth in Pittsburgh. The event is free and open to the public. I will be singing from 6:45 until 7 pm. Would love to see you if you are
available!

Tomorrow I am headed to Rochester, NY to perform at Abilene's Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way with Carlos Peña and Miguel Sague III. I  have gotton some great press on it, apparently Rochester is as excited to have me as I am to sing to them!

See this wonderful bit of press I got from Mr Frank De Blase in their Rochester City Newspaper:
