 The link is LIVE thus it is OFFICIAL. If you missed us in December at Don’t Tell Mama, or want to see us again, come on over to The Green Room 42 MAY 17th @ 7pm. There will be fan favorites, there will be new material, there will be a not-so-secret special guest. We are so excited to bring this show back and continue to bring what started out as videos recorded at the church where we work, beyond the screen to the stage! You can get your tickets HERE.
In the meantime…I got to be a percussionist this past weekend, playing drums this past Friday and Saturday and then cajon on Sunday. Friday, I was back behind the kit with The Summer Replacements for our April No Name…And A Bag O’Chips show, which was also a tribute show for our late bassist Fernando Morales, whom we lost to Covid in 2020. Fernando loved haikus and metal music and we had plenty of both. Friends read his haikus, We played Radiohead’s Creep, Metallica’s Enter Sandman, and, to further prove the brilliance of my collaborator Richard Binder, we did a mashup of Buddy Holly and Cannibal Corpse; and it worked. Saturday was the MCS Jam. Yes, there is a parent band at my son’s school, and we do a monthly jam and it is always a good time. These people are sick musicians and it’s always a joy to share the music with the MCS families and to do it at Shrine in Harlem. I apparently was drumming enough that watch asked me if I was doing an indoor run. 🤣 Sunday, it was another wonderful session of Musical Theater Bookclub. It’s a great way to keep the chops up, learn scores and just have a good time. The host of this months show, La Cage Aux Folles, wanted to have a band, thus, we ended up with trombone, trumpet, French horn, bass, piano, keyboard, and then me, on cajon (box drum). It was so fun to play this music, let alone sing it, I’m tempted to have folks do the same should I finally host a show. Coming up! May 3rd - I’ll be back at Otto’s for our May No Name May 17th - BinderSuze @ The Green Room 42 Keep it here for more info!

When not pandemibaking...
I have finally started a website! I just got these beautiful new headshots done by L Morgan Lee of BLUEphotography, and at last have a place to display them. I've also been getting this self-tape thing DOWN. Madison Avenue Baptist Church, with whom I've been the alto for going on twelve years, like most churches, has gone virtual, so we are making videos of solos and hymns for the time being. (Someday, I'll release an outtake reel.) There've been other opportunities, as well, for practicing this process: virtual choir and concert videos. I've been lucky enough to work with Prospect Theatre Company and, thus, was asked to be part of their lovely video featuring Peter Mills' tune "Two Buoys". (I come in with the alto part and drums>) Two Buoys Next, a dear friend - a jazz musician and choir director, presently living in Italy - started up Singers Without Borders and asked me to be part of this uplifting number: How Can I Keep From Singing? Lastly, The Rigano Songbook asked 42(!) of their closest friends to help out with this wonderful song about an all too relevant and growing segment of our lives as we try to communicate with proper social distancing: Screen To Screen The Rigano has a concert planned for 3/13...and then the world shut down. But far be it for them to not have a show. Yes, the Ides of March Extravaganza is now the Ides of APRIL and will be in virtual form. When those videos go up, I'll be sure to share here. In the meantime, contact me here if you would like me to be part of YOUR virtual - and/or, eventually, LIVE - project. Peace ✌️ AuthorAlexandra de Suze is a singer, actor, drummer who also writes a bit and occasionally makes silly videos Archives
