Dear All,

I'm finishing-up a three-week tour across Italy on August 4th in Siracusa.

With 13 solo and band dates across Italy, this leg of the LET IT GO tour has been a resounding success.

Special thanks to Luisa Parrelli and Andrea Chieli at Vertigo Music, plus Giovanni Marangi and the entire staff at the La Ghironda Festival for making this unforgettable tour possible.

Alla prossima!
(See you next time)!

"Only a few of the thousands of new CDs each year get much radio play, reviews and sales. I listen to about 1,000 a year. Many of the review copies I am sent are mediocre. So it's a rare, savory pleasure to be blown away by a new recording.
