As we enter month seven of the Covid Pandemic, artists are trying to utilize any means necessary to keep their artistic flame alive. I have been fortunate to work with great musicians during the quarantine and have found that there is still much to be done despite very few opportunities to perform as usual. I am looking forward to performing at the Epiphany Arts Center on Saturday Oct 24th with the Frank Catalano Quartet. There are tickets available to attend the concert in person as well as via livestream. https://epiphanychi.com/frank-catalano-102420-s/?fbclid=IwAR1OfEDgyEUM2btd8KeGPOwFRddsULo8GIDksWNDjluV8w4IGSkmYIqAGIc
