Just Us

Just Us is a really fun and great group of humans who sing and play instruments for the pure joy of it all. They exist to bring joy and connection to everyone no matter who they are or where they come from. This group has a long history of performing all over LA. I have only recently joined them in 2021 and it has been such a joy to get to know them and to perform this great music together.

As a classical soprano, I’ve had to kind of “get off my high horse” so to speak in order to let go and just have fun. It was well worth putting my ego in check to realize that the connection music makes is where the magic happens - not in the type of repertoire or accompaniment. Of course, I’ll always love singing with orchestra. Singing Dvorak’s Te Deum soprano solos with symphony and chorus was a huge highlight of my career. I do think I made connections with people on a deep level. And, the connection is just as deep when we sing “Time after Time” and watch people in the audience sing along with us to their own loved ones.

Once, at a nursing home, after a concert, one of the ladies that sang along with us stayed around to chat afterwards. She wanted to tell me she sang a particular song with her dad when she was little. So we sat there and sang it together - we both had tears in our eyes thinking of that sweet time and how much time has passed since then. What a beautiful connection.

So, yes, this group performs at nursing homes, social clubs, performance venues like The Rose, community festivals like the upcoming Altadena Arts Festival in Charles White Park (October 23, 2021) and The Canyons to open for great groups like Big Bad Voodoo Daddies like we are doing September 17, 2021 at 7:00 pm in Santa Clarita. I’ll add our gigs to the calendar and give you links to buy tickets! I hope you can come out to see us soon! I promise, you’ll have fun!!
