Hey everybody!
Big thanks to everyone who came out to see my live interview with Benjamin Scheuer, and artistic director, Tracy Brigden after the sneak peek performance of The Lion at City Theatre! It was a wonderful evening. I truly was not prepared to watch the show and hear Ben's story pour out of him and into each person in the audience. My heart hurt so badly after the last song ended, and I was so worked up to go on stage and conduct the interview! If you have not seen this show, you must. The music is incredible, and the story makes you want to go out and live each moment of your life to the fullest. To grab the people you love and make sure they know it, and to appreciate everything you have.
You can preorder Songs From The Lion on his site before it drops June 3rd, and by doing so you get two songs instantly! Also check out the photo book of his journey with cancer called Between Two Spaces. 50% of the proceeds go to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Check out his music video for one of my favorite songs Weather The Storm
Ben was truly a joy to chat with, and I had THE best time doing so, as I am sure you will gather from the recording. I could have sat there all day and talked to him. So much so, that I am positive you will hear him on the show again one day. ;)
A huge Thank you to City Theatre's crew for inviting me out to be a part of this magical evening.
