hear my solo piano performances at Alanis Morissette Tribute concert in Ottawa

Last month I participated in a unique concert put together by renowned CBC radio producer Alan Neal in honour of Ottawa-born pop megastar Alanis Morissette, in celebration of her induction into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame. The concept was simple: Alan brought together six different Canadian artists and had us each do our own, personal spin on Alanis tunes of our choice. For my performance, I decided to do an intentionally propulsive version of "Hand in My Pocket" and a more whimsical version of "Head Over Feet". Most compelling for me was the presence of Alanis's very down-to-earth, humble, and entirely "normal" parents, whom I had the pleasure to acknowledge after our grand finale version of her very first hit "Too Hot."
