Join us for a unique and intimate afternoon of music, musings, songs, and the creative mischief that sparks them. We’ll play our original songs and talk about the mystery of how an idea becomes a lyric, a melody, a deeper truth. You, the audience, are invited to ask questions and be a part of the conversation. This is not just a performance, it’s an experience.
Tina Ross writes the kind of songs that feel like conversations you didn’t know you needed—honest, poetic, and deeply human.
