We had such a great time at the Restored to Sanity Singers 21st Annual Singalong on the Magnificent Mile! Chris’s father Curt, his stepmom Scottie, and their friend Regan have been putting this on every year since 2004, and Chris has been involved for the last 7 singalongs. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Some pics from our day in Memphis! We had so much fun touring Graceland, and Chris got to sit in for a little dueling piano action at Silky O'Sullivan's on Beale Street!

Come catch us down at Stuffed Olive from 6-9 this Wednesday for an up close look at what Chris can do - we love to see our past, present and prospective clients out in the community, and Chris will be donating 100% of his tips to support local nonprofit City Voices, so bring some friends, enjoy some killer food and drink options, and request a few hits! We’ll see you there ❤️V&V❤️
