In the Moment with Patty Peterson: The Living Room Sessions
Sat July 29, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Vocal Jazz and Piano
“I believe life is filled with inspiration and music is one of those inspirations. I experience such joy when I get to be ‘in the moment’ and sing with a pianist who moves my soul. When creating together, you find highs and lows like in life, and deep creativity that makes you laugh, and sometimes even shed a tear. Join me as I create with some of the best in ‘The Living Room Sessions’ in the Dunsmore Room at Crooners. You will feel right at home!” – -Patty Peterson

Refracted through his many musical sensibilities and influences, a refined and powerful pianistic profile has garnered Will performances for audiences across America at venues including the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Ravinia’s Bennett Gordon Hall in Chicago.
