Our neighborhood fall block party/Toys for Tots drive was a huge success in large part because of Sarah’s band and the perfect music and neighborly spirit she brought to the event; one of the largest turnouts we’ve had, and Sarah and her band made the afternoon such fun.

We receive many positive comments from our guests and diners about Sarah's music. She is the ultimate professional, sensitive to the room and delivers exactly what is required at the moment. She is also a valuable partner in managing our live music program drawing from her rich network of top end musicians in the Phoenix Valley. She has proven to be a valuable partner in our effort.

Big news, friends! If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve been cookin’ up something special… and it’s finally time to let it loose! We’re throwing an exclusive Music Video Premiere Party at my show at @localjonnys on April 19th! 🔥

This project has been a wild ride — a lot of blood, sweat, and rock n’ roll — and we can’t wait to share it with YOU before anyone else. The official public release isn’t until May 29th, so this is your one chance to catch it first, with good music, cold drinks, and hopefully most of the cast and crew! 

We will see you all there! ✨😎
