Will Constance’s culinary quest lead to a recipe for a happy life, or will she fall flat on her face like a failed soufflé? Learn more about Constance and...

Shana and I talk about our decades-long friendship and artistic collaborations, photo shoots, PR and album cover design for SHiNE 1.0 (and 2.0), etc. A big part of that relationship, early on, included hue, the trio she formed with Maritri/piano & guitar + Lisa/viola, and how that helped to define the development of her genre-defining "chamber soul". We also discuss her 5-year gig with Cirque du Soleil's KÀ in Las Vegas, post-KÀ, and what it's like to be an independent musician now. Classically trained. Soulful singer-songwriter. Teaching artist. Force of nature. The list goes on... To learn more, visit: http://www.sh...
