Hiya Friends!
Hey there, Friends!
Happy Fall! October has arrived and with it, my favorite weather! I hope you're enjoying some cool breezes and orange leaves wherever you may be! Between my performance at the Lincoln Theatre for Labor Day and my first ever signed (ASL) show at Takoma Park Folk Festival, my Fall has started off with a bang! I just wanted to send out a quick email to let you know what's on the horizon! Starting tomorrow, there are outdoor shows on porches and arts markets; a Kids Radio Program out in…Happy Easter Everyone!!! I just finished playing a show at the ever so lovely National Cherry Blossom Festival. The cherry trees were at peak bloom and the crowd was fantastic. Now I'm gearing up for my debut show at the Barns of Wolf Trap!!! I'll be playing on Saturday April 9th as part of a Bandhouse Gigs Tribute to Randy Newman and I could not be more excited!!! Tickets are selling fast so if you want to come celebrate with me, make sure to grab your ticket soon! Hope to see you there, Flo
