Show Time!
Summer is here and it's jazzy!
I'm so grateful for the support from fans, friends and family!
"It's Playtime Jerry", my husband George's new recording is off and running! It sounds great (even if I say so myself) and is now available on all the media platforms, so please check it out on Spotify, Pandora, YouTube or wherever you listen! If you're old fashioned like me and want to purchase a CD, Just click on the tab below! I do a couple of songs too cause I had to get in on the action. We had his first live show with the new music at Campus JAX in Newport Beach and it was amazing. You can still catch it on YouTube at this link Juneteenth with Elena & George Gilliam . Enjoy the show!
Blessings to you,
Elena
