Someday (Live)
Recorded at the 2019 Mike Errico Holiday Show
Rockwood Music Hall, NYC
You good? I hope so.
Here’s a very special live version of “Someday,” with Gabriella De La Cruz on background vocals and Matt Beck on electric guitar. This song seems to get more relevant every year, and I feel grateful to be able to play it for you.
Can I ask a favor? Small favor, not “Could you drive me to the airport?”-level favor. Simply this: Tell a friend about the song. Sounds like not a big deal, but it’s the single greatest thing you can do to bring others on board.
Speaking of: READ AN EXCERPT FROM “MUSIC, LYRICS, AND LIFE”
