Captured live, a recording titled "I've Got A Crush On You" will be released April 17 via Kelp Records. Special guests who are featured on the new recording will be announced next month. 

Musical director Aaron Davis (piano) has brought together a talented group of musicians for these performances including Robert Piltch (guitar), Marty Melanson (bass), John Johnson (woodwinds), Chris Mitchell (woodwinds) and Dave Burton (drums).
