Hello,

Best,
Damaris

Greetings friends-

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 30th at Tony Starlight’s! I’ll be
singing the full spectrum of jazz from Gershwin & Jobim to Thelonious Monk &
Dizzy Gillespie, singing and scatting, and I’ll be joined by pianist Vince
Frates. This is a wonderfully intimate show at a great venue. And guess
what? I will finally have my new cd available for purchase, believe or
not. I barely can!
