In Our Happy Place is a lively and uplifting set of jazz, show tunes and musical theatre with a sprinkle of Christmas dust on top.
Take a journey with us as we play some Piano solos and sing songs from 1940's onward that are meant to entertain during this "dark" time. Playing all covers, we will dazzle you with songs made famous by Peggy Lee, Amy Winehouse, Coco Love Alcorn, Ella, Bing and musicals such as Wicked, Once and Songs for a New World.
