The Tillery Workshop at the JazzSchool in San Francisco, CA.

We had a fantastic and very busy week in California this September, beginning in San Francisco and finishing up in Los Angeles. Here are some highlights.

A very special thanks to the Ostroff’s; The JazzSchool; BetaLevel;  Joon, Alex and everyone at the Blue Whale – and of course, all who participated and came to our performances.

Our next scheduled workshop isn’t until October of 2014 at the Falcon in Marlboro, NY –  but you can still SIGN-UP NOW. It’s going to be a beautiful day filled with songwriting, singing, performing, a special lunch created by the Falcon Arts chef and a Tillery concert – all to take place in the lower Hudson Valley (just 60 miles from NYC). You can even travel by train and be picked up and returned to the station!  It’s a great value.

We look forward to seeing you!
