The Show Review

Thanks to all the folks for coming out to the show last night. It's always so refreshing to perform in Brooklyn. It always feels like home. The Chocolate Monkey was a very nice spot, the stage was cute the couches were comfortable. It was a bit more challenging to perform with the distracting front door opening and closing for the smokers rushing to get a fix every 5 minutes, but besides that...
I want to thank the girls alixa, Naima, and SPARLHA were all so raw and guts amazing.
I love you guys.
