A Year in a life...
Dang! 2019 has come to an end and what a year it has been! We made a promise that we would say “yes” to as many musical opportunities as possible. There had been times throughout the past 365 days when life had certainly challenged us - we questioned ourselves, our sacrifices and the path we had chosen. Sometimes we wondered if anyone was listening. Sometimes we felt all alone. Regardless, we buckled down and kept pushing forward. Pretty soon one or two small goals, turned into many memorable realities... Tonight at Burgundy’s will mark our 90th performance this year.
