Eliane Elias 3/22-28
Multi-Grammy winner, and twelve-time Grammy nominee, Brazilian pianist/vocalist/ composer, Eliane Elias has been a favorite of mine throughout my career, so it was great fun to finally meet her and entice her onto my show for a conversation about her music, Brazilian culture, and how her early musical life contributed to the artist she is today.
Eliane’s latest CD, Time and Again, is a celebration of all aspects of romance, love and how we move through life with hope and joy.
Penn Jilette 3/29-4/4
One-half of the magic duo Penn & Teller, Penn Jillette discusses his bass playing during the pre-show of his Vegas act, and how jazz has changed his life.
Brenda Earle Stokes 4/5-11
Canadian pianist/vocalist/songwriter/educator, Brenda Earle Stokes’ latest CD, Motherhood explores the joys and challenges of that much celebrated but often under-appreciated role. Stokes lets her fellow mothers know they aren’t alone on this wild ride and clues in everyone else on what mothers are really thinking.
Brenda is a deep thinker and a rare lyricist who can translate those perspectives into moving, meaningful lyrics that enlighten and empower her listeners.
