For this special performance, the repertoire will include a mixture of original songs from the album and some classic soul numbers, encompassing a broad range of styles from Neo-Soul and R&B (Marvin Gaye, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill) to jazz and heart stopping ballads. The line up features amazing guest vocalist Nilusha Dassenaike (recently returned from a tour of Cuba) and also includes long time collaborators Kellie Santin (saxes) and Kim May (bass) with special guest Steve Sedergreen on piano and keys.
