For parties and events...

I do events big and small, private and public, formal and casual.

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.

  1. 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.

  3. April 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.
