I worked on this album with my producer Robert Sher and an amazing crew of arrangers, musicians, recording engineers and artists. I'm proud to say that Broadway Records picked up both titles: LULLABIES OF BROADWAY and LULLABIES OF BROADWAY ACT II. It's available in stores and digitally and is being submitted for various awards.

A look into the lives of four church basement ladies and a pastor who work at The East Cornucopia Lutheran Church in Northern Minnesota - 1964. Word has gotten out of this hilarious show and top notch cast. The rest of our run is practically sold out!

I'm currently putting together the follow up album to my very popular Lullabies of Broadway. The working title is Lullabies of Broadway : Act II. On it will be songs written by Broadway composers : some written as lullabies and others will be Broadway's classic and current songs done as lullaby arrangements.
