I can sing for up to three hours, but can stretch to four for long events and with proper breaks.
I can be either featured or as background music while people mill about. Either is fine!
Equipment:
I have two amps/PA systems, with microphones. One needs plugging in and the other is rechargeable and can last for hours.
Things I'd like:
- A small table near where I sing to set down my cards, CDs, promotional materials, and my ever-present water.
- To be out of direct sunlight for outdoor parties as I burn very easily.
- To be told ahead if there are pets if it's a house party, especially cats. I am a definite pet lover, but highly allergic to everything adorable (it's one of the tragedies that defines my life). I do just fine as long as I know to take something in advance.
- For the area where I sing to be near an outlet if possible.
Music:
My playlist is mostly jazz standards of the 40s and 50s, but I am always open to other genres. I can usually also learn a few new ones on request for an event, provided I can get the tracks and have enough notice.
Full Repertoire
My
repertoire is always growing and I am always open to learning new songs, but
these are the ones I can sing at the drop of a hat:

My husband and I had the pleasure of listening to your first during the Art Walk in Laguna and then at a restaurant the next evening. I think about you all the time and how delightful your voice is. I wish you lived closer so we could hear your often and share your talent with our family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I remember you two coming to Chopaan! That was so sweet. :)
DeleteAm spreading the word about U !!!
ReplyDeleteWhatta voice …...
Aw! Thanks so much. It's lovely to be so supported!
DeleteApril has performed for many functions for us. Everyone loves her. Having live entertainment really makes a party memorable. She is professional and easy to work with. Many times people are shocked to see her singing - they thought it was a record playing - That's how good she is.
ReplyDeleteAw, Susan! Thanks so much! That's so lovely to hear. :) <3
ReplyDeleteHi April, Lisa from Candy Baron, you are for sure a top singer, absolutely wonderful, keep up the good work, Lisa
ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa! I'm still doing this full time (thank God!). It's still the best job I ever had! Hope you're doing great! :)
