Gabi Epstein’s new album, “Show Off”, released
Gabi Epstein’s new album, Show Off, has just been released, and I’m so pleased that one of my songs is featured on it. It’s a fantastic album, produced by the great John Alcorn, in which Gabi puts her voice through its paces. She sings everything from Stephen Schwartz to André Previn to Jann Arden. She and John have put together a beautiful arrangement of “I Would Have Wanted” from my show Experimental Selves. Click here to learn more about Gabi and click here to buy the album on iTunes.
