New Video - "Before Tomorrow Comes"

6/11/2020

I wrote this song, “Before Tomorrow Comes”, around the time of the Women’s March, but I think it has even greater resonance and significance now. For those fighting for a better tomorrow in the streets, in the workplace, at home, and everywhere else, I stand with you.

“The best art is political and you ought to be able to make it unquestionably political and irrevocably beautiful at the same time.”
Toni Morrison
