121 – This week and free tickets

Recorded 15 December 2009

On this episode of With A Voice Like This I give a little insight about what it’s like to be gigging every day and how it all works. the surprises, both good and bad, the things that keep you going, the things you draw from for your performance and the fact that life and performing doesn’t happen in a vacuum, something that’s hit close to home this year again.

Free tickets
Okay, here’s the scoop, I thought it would be fun to have you see me on me. So here’s how it works. I’m offering two tickets to the show at two separate venues. But you have to be quick and be the first person to e-mail me to get them.

The first set is for the Wednesday, December 16th  8:00 show at the Woodstock Opera House in Woodstock IL. E-mail the subject White Christmas Revue to [email protected] and I’ll set you up with the tickets, as long as you can really use them.

The second set is for the Sunday, December 20th 3:00 show at the Beverly Arts Center in Chicago, IL. This time e-mail the subject White Christmas Revue – BAC to [email protected] and I’ll make sure you get them.
