Big thanks to Daryll and Ben at ZMR for providing a platform for this music. Big thrill for me when Imaginings won best cont instr a few years ago. Loved N.O. I think I could live there !!
This was my first time attending the ZMR show and I felt so fortunate to finally meet many of these wonderful people in person. The caliber of the performances was incredible. I hope Ben & Darryl will let me perform on The Stick next year. 🙂
What a thrilling surprise to have won Best Vocal Album 2017 for Color Me Home this year at ZMR Awards. This means so much to me. Honored and grateful to all those involved. Always such a blast seeing everyone in New Orleans at the party and ceremony. DarleneKoldenhoven.com
