CD Release Show - Love is For All Time
July 9, 2021 - Lorraina releases her 3rd album with a team of some of L.A.’s finest musicians: Steve Rawlins on piano, Jennifer Leitham on bass, Grant Geissman on guitar, Steve Pemberton on drums, Dr. Bobby Rodriguez on trumpet, and Rickey Woodard on tenor sax. The album is a mix of ballads, swing, bossa novas, and Spanish songs, dealing with love – the promise of new love, loss of love, sassy kind of love, and love for all people in general. She’s experienced it all and lived long enough to sing about her own truth. In a world that has had so much sadness and suffering during the past year, we can still be uplifted by music. (Official release date is July 15, 2021.)
Please note: this show will be before a live audience, as well as streamed live.
