Happy February!! I've been traveling and on tour since the beginning of the year.  I hope this finds you well. 
 
The conference in New York went well.  The agency I work with, Center Productions has set up some pretty incredible social media to keep everyone (especially my fans!) updated.  They have started a Facebook page and a Youtube Channel.   Upcoming concert information, videos, song clips and photos will be posted to share with everyone. If you have any photos you'd like to share, that would be great, too!
 
Keeping up with my news will be easy!  Go to the Center Productions page on Facebook and "Like" it, you'll get all of the page updates.  The Youtube link is on the front page of my website.  If you subscribe to the channel, you'll automatically get any updates.  How easy is that?!  I'm really excited about this new way to connect with all of you! 
 
On a good note, Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow today, only 6 more weeks of winter!  Here's to an early Spring...................
 
 
 

 
  Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This year I am thankful for wonderful friends old and new, sorrowful for those I've lost, and hopeful for a wonderful Holiday and New Year! Concerts in Dallas and The Barns at Wolf Trap, Washington DC, coming up in February, and of course APAP in January. I hope you've all joined my facebook fan page, there are lots of pictures and blogs. But for now - eat up, it's Turkey Time!

Hello Everyone! Well Spring is here and it's time for taxes :-)!! I'm home for a couple of weeks, which is a nice change. Getting in some Yoga classes and getting some paperwork done... always a good thing. This year is a little light on work, but 2010 is shaping up to be a great year. Napa Symphony and The Barns at Wolf Trap, back to Arkansas, and a few more surprises are what we're working on here at BROADWAY by JERI central. And yes... that long awaited Broadway CD... I know, I know... we're trying :-)!! Hope you all are enjoying a wonderful Spring, news on the concert in England should be up soon... !
 
 
 

  I hope everyone is enjoying a busy and healthy start to 2009! And yes... I know it's a miracle that I'm actually home long enough to catch everyone up!! It's been a good year with ships, and concerts. The big news is the concert in Arkansas. We (that's me, one assistant and 9 musicians) left Nashville in a 45 foot Prevost, 12 sleeper tour bus and drove 8 hours to Hot Springs Arkansas. For those of you who have never been there, it's a pretty cool little town - not to mention the great hot springs spas... duh...Anyway, we were the talk of the town in our beautiful bus. I was just sorry I wasn't Carrie Underwood :-)!! Sorry Hot Springs maybe next year! The venue was this wonderful theatre in Hot Springs Village, with the greatest staff and technical crew. They took "taking care of us" to a whole new level! We did 4 sold out shows, to 2 standing O's a night (well on Thursday we had a third at intermission!) and spa treatments for everyone at the fabulous historic Arlington Hotel and Spa. The band said they've never had a more relaxing tour :-)!! And an incredible band it was: my MD and pianist Scot Woolley, drummer Scott Weckerly, bass Roy Vogt, keys Kevin Madill, Trumpets George Tidwell and Vinne Ciesielski, saxes with clarinet and flute respectively Denis Solee and Jimmy Bowland, and my arranger and trombonist John Hinchey - an honor and a laugh riot to work with every one of them. Who else would break in to "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'" in the middle of "Ring Them Bells" - only the Nashville 9! The good news is we've been asked back again for their big 20th Anniversary shindig! Wahoo!!
  I debuted the new show SWING IT LIKE SAMMY at the Metropolitan Room in NYC in January, and that too, went extremely well. Thanks to Mitch Perrins and his great band contracting I had an amazing 8 piece band that literally rocked the place... well swung the place. :-) The same week I sang BLUES IN THE NIGHT at the legendary BIRDLAND, and met the equally legendary John Hendricks, who after hearing me sing, kissed my hand, before he was whisked away in the crowd. His wife actually had some wonderful things to say to me, that I "truly sang from the heart and that's what jazz is about..." We were also treated to a couple of tunes from John and his daughter, who obviously takes after her Dad! The same night I met one of my idols Ann Hampton Callaway and heard her do one of her famous incredible impromptu jazz jams about Obama!! Just a fabulous night... I recommend anybody in NYC on a Monday night to stop in at Birdland for Jim Caruso's Cast Party - it's really a great time!!
  And that's the highlights! I wish everyone Health and Love in the New Year - and Hope, most of all, Hope!!
