Letter from Kat Parra....

Hi Everyone!
This summer has been filled with so many wonderful experiences, education, new and old friends, and family gatherings. I just returned from a 3 1/2 week stint on the east coast. I started my travels at Shenandoah University to earn a certificate in the three levels of Somatic Voicework™: the LoVetri Method. This is an amazing way to teach contemporary singing with an incredibly healthy approach. I am excited that I have been able to further my knowledge of the voice in this way and can now offer a much more comprehensive approach to teaching vocals. Want lessons? Email me and we can set something up! :)

The rest of my trip consisted of reconnecting with old friends (Washington, DC), hanging out with my sons (NYC) and attending a week-long family reunion in BoothBay Harbor, ME, which also included an awesome boat trip out to the nesting grounds of the Puffins. They are so darn cute!

My trip culminated back in NYC with the premiere of Danilo's (my son) documentary about Thomas Grillo: the Thereminist. An excerpt of the movie was shown at the Kickstarter Film Festival to a capacity crowd. Thomas Grillo was also flown out to perform on the theremin after the film was shown. Seeing the audience's reaction to the talents my son possesses was priceless! I'm such a proud mama.

And now, back on the west coast, I am thrilled to be performing this coming Friday night at the Hedley Club in the Hotel DeAnza in downtown San Jose. My five piece group will be tearing it up in our Latin/World Jazz way! This is the first night of the San Jose SummerFest so there will be lots of things going on that night. Our show, however, is free and open to the public, so come on down and enjoy some wonderful cocktails in a beautiful and cozy lounge while dancing or just listening to us do our thing! I haven't been performing as much as I would like to, so this is an exciting occasion for me to share the stage with some of the finest musicians in the SF Bay Area. 

I hope you will join us this Friday, August 9th from 8:30-12:30 at the Hedley Club.
See you there! Love Kat.
