Autumn is nearing its end, as winter is creeping in. We had a blast at Cornerstone Organics’ annual Halloween Bazaar, as we always do. I performed a solo set, and joined Virginia Dipierro on stage to play a few tunes, closing out her set. Seaway Valley Music Academy was also present, providing music activities for the younger children.

New Website

The Keegan Larose website now has a new look! I wanted something fresh that condensed the pages a had previously, but retained the same information. I think this is it. In addition to that, I’m trying a new way of sharing these newsletters with you. It will be more of a blog format. Take a peek, if you dare. I hope you enjoy the new look.

December Performance

11:11 Jazz Duo makes its return this holiday season, bringing you Christmas classics and winter themed Jazz standards. Not only that, we’ll be featuring a special guest, Robert Lemieux, on piano. I’m looking forward to sharing the stage with Katie again, and with Robert for the first time.

Join us at Carrots n Dates Saturday, December 13th, from 12pm-2pm.
