I hope you heard the news that the Jill Sobule celebration will be at Tierney’s Tavern at the beginning of the year. Jill was my friend and mentor, and I'm currently working with a group of musicians like me who were inspired by Jill’s Songwriting Workshops. We are producing an album of songs crafted under her guidance. All proceeds from the album will fund Jill’s favorite charity. These recordings are a small way for us to honor and thank her for bringing us so much joy and inspiration to our lives with her music and friendship. I’ll keep you posted on all the special guests that will be joining the celebration. Stay tuned!

As we gear up for the next Studio Tour SOMA, I’m painting up a storm and working with the committee of volunteers that functions tirelessly to bring South Orange and Maplewood a robust tour of over 100 artists’ work and studios. The first public event will be on September 11, 6 pm to 8 pm at the Herb + Milly Iris Gallery at SOPAC. You can preview the work of over 65 artists and plan your route for the tour.

As always, I’m available for a personal studio tour, where you can preview my latest work, or to share a couple of tunes with you in a private setting. Stay in touch!

Enjoy the warm days of summer. Wear your sunblock, stay hydrated, and have loads of fun.
Sending you lotsa love,
Leslie

It’s finally happening! After two years in the making, Glitter & Grit, my new album, is almost here, and I want YOU to be part of the celebration. Join me and The Love Drops for a one-of-a-kind listening party—where we’ll play some songs live, then experience the album together.

This won’t be just any gathering—it’s a milestone, a labor of love, and a chance to celebrate with amazing people (like you!). Plus, there’ll be food, drinks, and loads of fun at Tierney’s Tavern.

To plan accordingly, I need to know who’s coming, so hit that RSVP button, lock in your spot, and help me make this an unforgettable afternoon!
