The full album “LOVE! It’s About Time” will be released on Friday, April 19th. That night, my Dutch band and I perform at The Backstage in Montrouge, France, just outside Paris, playing songs from the new album. You can hear the full album before its official release by taking advantage of this pre-sale

I’m really proud of this new record and I’m excited to share it with the world. The musicians all delivered extraordinary performances. I’m thrilled and grateful. Your pre-order will make all the difference, truly. Thank you.
