Summer just got a little bit hotter!

“Vocalist Lynne Rothrock’s “Short Stories” show is not to be missed. Her partnership with pianist extraordinaire Julia Andrews is beautifully showcased in this collection of musical narratives. Lynne can’t be successfully tagged into one musical style, so expect jazz, blues, folk, pop, musical theatre, comedy – all in surprise after surprise. There’s a tear in a lyric and a memory that hits home. There’s truly an earned wisdom on display in the musical chapters she chooses to open, and you want to bookmark every page. Truth. Laughter. Emotions. Secrets. An unexpected ending. Be forewarned that you may be meeting your new best friend. She’s on stage, and her name is Lynne Rothrock.”
—Stephen Barefoot, Going Barefoot Productions, NC
