As a proud Pittsburgh-er, and loyal Steelers “acolyte”, I just want to say how honored I am to have shared space on the field with the LEGENDARY COACH MIKE TOMLIN!

Forget the “nay-sayers”, you were the BEST thing to happen to “da Burgh” since Coach Cower, and before him, Coach Noll. You have led the Team with integrity, determination, and CLASS under the umbrella of the “Mike Tomlin Cool!”

I am wishing you, Coach Mike, joy, peace, and whatever your heart desires in this next chapter. I never got that picture with you, but it’s never too late! We will meet again!

Thank you, Art Rooney II, the late great Dan Rooney, and all of the Steeler Orgnization for your loyalty, and ALWAYS leading and setting the standard for the NFL!
“THE CHIEF” would be proud! GO STEELERS

In this season of giving, I am reaching out to garner support for an organization that I am only associated with through friendship.

Most of you have met my dear friend @kylesdwania , who was one of the 13 children that desegregated the Memphis public school system when she was in first grade. Her story and experience inspired her to form an organization geared toward change.

The @memphis13foundation is making great strides in Tennessee.

But they need our help. She needs our help.
If you can make a contribution this holiday season, it will be greatly appreciated and used to continue the work.

There is a 30 minute documentary on the Memphis 13 in the link, I’m about to provide. But I’d recommend watching it on a bigger screen. Those little first graders, who through their innocence, became part of !

When you have time, take a look. It’s so moving and so inspiring. 👉🏽#linkinbio #memphis13foundation

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! ✨

This past Friday, it was an absolute treat to visit my hometown, Pittsburgh, PA, for a wonderful gathering at the @augustwilsonculturalcenter Annual Gala, where I was honored with the organization’s Luminary Award!

Glimpses from the lovely evening are on the way, but in the meantime, allow me to share this wonderful chat I had with @theheatherabraham host of @talkpittsburgh prior to the gala.

Courtesy of my friend and #DeltaBlueMusical producing partner @mattallenwilliams :: “There’s something about music that bypasses the head and goes straight to the heart. I’ve felt that truth my entire life. And when Tamara Tunie, one of the most gifted performers and producers I’ve been blessed to work alongside, put words to what we’ve all felt while building Delta Blue, it really resonated with me.

And the way she put it made perfect sense: she said that sound is energy, and energy moves us. It shakes us awake. It lifts us. It connects us. And when you bring together blues and gospel, two musical traditions born from pain, resilience, joy, and hope, it hits every human being in the same place: the soul.

That’s the heartbeat of Delta Blue. It’s why we’re pouring everything we have into this piece. Not to impress people. Not to chase trends. But to create something that reminds people what it feels like to be fully alive. To hear something that stirs your chest. To be carried by melody and story and memory.

When Tamara talks about audiences leaving “vibrating,” that’s not exaggeration. That’s our prayer. That people walk out lighter, more open, more awake to the beauty in their own lives.

If you’ve followed my work over the years, you know I’ve always believed in stories that make people feel something real. Delta Blue is doing that for me. And I hope, when you see it, it does the same for you. If you love blues, gospel, live theater, or just good stories about real people, follow along. We’re building something special, and it means the world that you’re here for it.”
