Save the date...September 10th - 5pm
Please save the date to join me for an evening of reflection and gratitude where we’ll gather together at The Garrison Institute, in Garrison, NY, in their beautiful meditation hall, to listen to the new Open Book album, "Leaning In".
Rick and I had finished recording all of these tracks before he passed away in January.
A few months ago, I came to the realization that finishing this album would be a
meaningful way to process this loss and to honor Rick.
It’s been an emotional, devastating, and beautiful project.
I’m so grateful to Billy Masters, our producer, and the brilliant musicians on this album
who helped me to see what an amazing gift this music is.
Save the date...details to be announced closer to the event.
With love, Michele
