I'll dish up stories of George Gershwin’s rich love life against the backdrop of his great love songs in this “wildly entertaining” show with the marvelous John Di Martino on piano.
Join us as award-winning writer and performer Lisa Faith Phillips weaves funny and touching tales of George Gershwin’s love affairs and the songs they inspired. From the adorable Adele Astaire, Broadway star and Fred’s sister, to married composer Kay Swift, and his last love Paulette Goddard, Charlie Chaplin’s wife, and many others (often at the same time), women and men found him irresistible. All the while his shy, retiring brother Ira transformed George’s escapades into clever lyrics, blending perfectly with his unforgettable melodies, to create some of the great love songs of the American Songbook. I am thrilled to have the amazing John Di Martino on piano.
Please join us at Pangea, the charming East Village cabaret, for laughter, song and revelations!

We launched the Women's Power Toolkit podcast series during the sudden pandemic shelter-at -home that began in March 2020 to bring together experts and visionaries in their fields to explore ideas to help us to learn and thrive.
From Dr. Tia Powell sharing what life is like on the medical front lines and Harvard law professor Randy Kennedy on civil liberties during COVID to New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly and rock writer and musician Michael Lydon on the power of music for change, each has their own fascinating insights and story to tell.
Composer Ellen Mandel talks about how music can change your life.
Writers Ann Hedreen and Dana Robbins discuss the healing power of memoir and poetry.
It has been a joy to come together for conversation, ideas and friendship. We are stronger when we connect and share.

The Digital Publishing Summit ran for 2-days June 25-26, 2019 in Paris.
I was honored to be an invited expert speaker for the W3C Web Innovation Week in the Face of the Pandemic. I presented on how the adoption and growth of digital audio and podcasts have accelerated during the extended shutdowns. The focus of this week-long event was to engage a diverse network of business professionals from the tech and business communities to learn about the digital Transformation during this period of the pandemic.
The legendary Maud Gonne left her mark on everyone she met. She famously won the devotion of one of the greatest poets of the age, William Butler Yeats. But she was so much more. An actress, a journalist, an activist and early media influencer for the cause of Irish independence.
Enjoy my conversation with famed singer, author and vocal coach Judith Mok about the power of music.
When Dublin, Ireland was locked down due to COVID-19, Judith began to give free concerts from her balcony. Word spread and crowds gathered to enjoy her beautiful voice. For her inspiring work, she was awarded the 2020 Covid–19 Response Award.
