What a great year we've been having in '08! It started off at the end of February with the opening of the Rrazz Room in the Hotel Nikko! Jack "Mr. Bongo" Costanzo flew up to play with the *little big band* for our first Saturday night in the hot new club!

We were back in Hollywood with Jack in early March for another packed show at The M Bar, and then back to The Rrazz Room for regular Saturday nights throughJune!

I was in NYC in May for the MAC Awards show where I picked up a nifty little statuette for Best Recording for "Drunk With Love: A Tribute To Frances Faye!" And what a blast to sing with the band at B.B. King's Blues Club there! I was back stage with Klea Blackhurst, Andrea McArdle, Danny Aiello, Judy Gold, Maureen McGovern and more! My friend Shaynee Rainbolt also won a MAC award that same night for Best Original Song for a piece she co-wrote with the legendary Russell Garcia called "I Remember."

I got to spend a super fun weekend in Guerneville (near Santa Rosa, CA) for the Russian River Women's Weekend where I performed with Max Perkoff and Daniel Fabricant, and also MC'd and hosted the pool party and the wet t-shirt contest at the Triple R! Wet, wild weekend with the ladies!

My friend Shaynee flew out from NYC for the entire month of June. We were both in Shawn Ryan's benefit concert for his Young Actor's Theatre Camp Scholarship Fund at The Rrazz Room and then Shaynee had her own concert there a few nights later. Then it was off to Las Vegas for my birthday! What happens in Vegas, STAYS in Vegas!

At the end of June, the band and I were at the Main Stage at Civic Center Plaza in SF to play for the SF Pride celebration! That was a total kick! Then back to The Rrazz Room where we did a show with my special guest star, KLEA BLACKHURST! You have to see "The Yodeling Muchacha" to believe it!

I had another killer 4th of July party with my neighbor Sally, who just happened to marry Albert that day! And here we are... already halfway through July!

I'll be in Hollywood for another show at The M Bar with Jack Costanzo on bongos and a whole bunch of new players in the band at the end of the month (July 26th) and then we get to play a new venue near San Francisco called Angelica's Bistro (August 15th) and at a gala benefit in the Palace Hotel in SF for the Gay Men's Chorus.

September is going to be awesome too! Shaynee Rainbolt has concerts in L.A., San Francisco, and NYC with the master, RUSSELL GARCIA conducting his 4-trombone orchestra! I'm back at the Rrazz Room on the 20th and then up in Reno at the Peppermill Resort and Casino on the 27th!

October and November are filling up with more concerts in Hollywood and at The Metropolitan Room in NYC, then back to SF for a holiday concert at The Rrazz Room (Dec 13.)

My booking manager is already getting shows on the books for 2009! I can't wait to see what lies ahead for us musically! It's been a great ride so far with more adventures to come! Stay tuned!
