Musical Theater and Storytelling
Mark Pietri was the first musician I ever collaborated with, and he gave me the confidence to follow my own melodic ideas. Of course, he proceeded to make every song far better than I ever could on my own. This revue contains 20 original songs that we wrote around the theme of love and relationships.
