I just love photo sessions not only because they’re exciting + I get to work with such top-notch, thoughtful & photographic visionaries; they’re also the gift that keeps on giving.

Much gratitude to the brilliant Darin Back!

Debbie is master in her own class and she will live on in the musical memories of anyone who came into contact with her.

There were nights at the new Dakota when I’d see her in the distance, chatting with Karl or whomever was tending that evening. I felt nothing less than wholly privileged for her attendance. Never a witless moment, all smiles, true support – I felt like she checked in on not only me but everyone else, and that means more than the world + a true testament to the woman that she was. You could never be dishonest with Debbie. She knew what was going on.

Although the heavens may have gained an angel, I cannot fathom we will ever forget her all-around finesse, vocal prowess and widely accessible heart.

Thank you for sending me this photo, Patty Peterson. As I said in my message, I will cherish this and the unforgettable moments spent with Debbie forever.

With love,
sophia

The sun was setting quickly so we had to act swiftly. It was an absolute joy to {finally!} work with Darin Back. I look forward to more photo and video sessions in the near future.

Sad yet unsurprising news, dear friends.

Please follow the CDC recommendations. They’re really not that difficult to accomplish. Take care of yourselves and your “pod”, too.

Warmest regards,
Soph

I haven’t performed anywhere since last Thanksgiving. It was within this very establishment, The 925, that I had the honor of doing so. Please join me early on New Years Eve {5:30pm – 8:30pm}. It would be wonderful to see you all – adorned in your fanciest, most sparkliest masks, of course.

xxoo,
Soph

Shameless & hopeful self-promotion.

These are very strange and rather downtrodden days for musicians who solely made their living on their craft. Do help move along with us if you’re able.

Wishing peace, health & light to every single one of you.

Thank you a thousand times { + more },

In the midst of all this covid19 hysteria, the collective bizarre life-changes & musicians losing their “homes” of gigging, thankfully, we have social media platforms to help with sharing our tunes.

Do dial in if you care to keep up: https://www.facebook.com/SophiaShoraiMusic/

I need to write more anyway {all suggestions welcome}.

Love, health and godspeed to all,

What an incredible evening. To share it with my nearest and dearest means more than the universe to me.

I am so blessed.

Much love to Larry, Carol and all the Abdo’s.

Hope to see you all again soon.
