Broadway By The Bay invited me up last weekend to meet the cast of their upcoming production of “13” and to do a concert and masterclass at the Bayside Performing Arts Center in San Mateo. The masterclass was a lot of fun; six really talented singers (including Riley Costello from the Broadway cast of 13!) doing some beautiful work. And then about 400 people showed up for the concert that night, which was my first concert in the San Francisco area (and it was apparently a big hit with the locals).
All Things In Time
I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You
Long Long Road
No Way Now
She Cries
[I actually had King of the World in the setlist at this point, and after I finished She Cries, I thought, “There’s no way I can get through that song now!” I’ll do it next time I’m in SF, I promise!]
Being A Geek
Nothing In Common
When You Say Vegas
The Old Red Hills of Home/Over
[This is kind of a medley I’ve been doing lately.]
Caravan of Angels
Moving Too Fast
Someone To Fall Back On
Thanks so much to Jim Gardia and Joe Duffy and all the folks at BBB for bringing me out to the Bay Area. I got to see a lot of old friends I haven’t seen in years, and I had a blast working with the BBB folk and also the gang at Music Box Theatre in Walnut Creek. I’ll try to get back there soon!

I NEED to hear you sing King of the World.
Hi J!
Thank YOU so much for this past weekend of reh. master class and your concert. The folks her are still a-buzz and the students in 13 who were able to attend the class on Saturday are visibly stronger and more connected in the show. Your wisdom and honest sense of humor struck a chord in them.
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since Parade. Wish I had had more time to chat with you visit. Best to Georgia and hope we can do more events with you in the future.
Best,
Joe
Thank you so much for your concert last Saturday. It was a huge hit and my grandmother still talks about it almost a week later. It was her first introduction to your music and now we can’t stop her!
