A Pre VALENTINE'S DAY Celebration w/ love songs from America's song book.

Gayle LaRone Harris is a devoted actress and vocalist. She has been described as “the love-child mix of Judy Garland and Nancy Wilson”. Retired as a nurse, our humble "Nightin-Gayle" is a singing exuberant delight. She performs true to the art, w/o the unpleasant trappings of the self-centered ego. Perhaps it's a professional consequence of her Nurse's Hippocratic Oath that's a becoming performance aural of care and compassion. Her current calling of music prescribes good medicine. It's a vocal-ease prescription; energizing, rejuvenating, uplifting... with joyous side-effects.


"D'z" Herstorical Renaissance; weekly Thursday night SHOWCASEs are privileged participation, short and sweet. It's a companion event, celebrated for it's multi-cultural & multi-genre diversity. Community-supported events include; Benefits and Tributes. Contributive music projects include; Jazz Retribution, vocal-collective, collaborative-artistry and music-cooperative.

"One-of-a-Kind" SHOWCASE alternates; ACOUSTIC, CABARET, (PRO) VOCALISTs / INSTRUMENTALISTs, SINGERs / SONGWRITERs, BENEFITs and TRIBUTEs.
