Whether performing alongside music legends or in her own neighborhood, jazz musician Valerie Gillespie is living the Lush Life — the title of her latest CD with the Valerie Gillespie Ensemble, which offers her signature saxophone and sentimental take on new and classic jazz songs.

Alejandro Arenas is a Tampa Bay area bassist who has worked with Valerie Gillespie for numerous years. Mark Feinman, well known in the Tampa Bay area as current president of the Al Downing Tampa Bay Area Jazz Association; has played drums with numerous musicians.
The Prince and Princess Comedy Show features, Kojo Prince and the Princess of Paradies, Traci Kanaan. Kojo Prince is a comedian that has the ability to perform for various audiences regardless of race, backgrounds, and ages. His comedy style, best described by him, is silly and superficial but yet satisfying. Extremely energetic and animated. It is often said that you burn calories just by watching him perform. Traci Kanaan, continues her irreverence by creatively combining stand up comedy with her piano and vocal performances. She covers numerous topics, including her life and family, pop culture, and current events. Her performances include a wide spectrum of musical styles including classical music, oldies, rock ‘n roll, country and rap. Whatever the occasion, Traci Kanaan combines her love of laughter and music as The Princess of Parodies.
