The video of the Dress Rehearsal for the Adam Cole Singalong is now available. We did the Dress Rehearsal as a show in front of a live audience and, barring a few mistakes, it’s a very satisfying watch. One nice feature is that we were able to use a real piano!

Watch the dress rehearsal:

Watch the final show here:

Just three days until the show at Wallers!

Saturday April 25, 8 PM, Beverly Knight opens at 7. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Last night was the dress rehearsal for our show.

The Adam Cole singalong is a dream of mine. In the wake of my three singalong shows, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel, I thought it was time to do a concert of my own music with the Willow Band. This was a scary decision to make.

My own music, on the line, for people to love or hate, to show up for or to skip. Plenty of opportunities for band members to screw them up. Even more opportunities for ME to screw up!

But once I put out the call and the band said, “Yes!” “Yes!” it wasn’t just yes. It was HELL, YES. Suddenly I really wanted to do this. And that’s what it’s about.

The support of your friends. You work hard for them, they work hard for you, everybody has a good time. And if you’re lucky, you get a video.

This is the beginning of a song I wrote for my granddaughter, Effy. I wrote her a song, and it wasn’t very good. So I wrote her another song, and it wasn’t very good either.

So I wrote her a third song, and it’s pretty good.

Clip from last night’s rehearsal for our show at Waller’s Coffeehouse, 240 Dekalb Industrial Way, Decatur, GA, 30033. Doors open at 7 PM, and Beverly Knight opens. Would you believe me if I said a splendid time is guaranteed for all?

Love this? That's right. THIS Sunday April the 19th at 7 PM at First Christian Church of Decatur! Real show at Wallers, Saturday April 25 at 8 PM! Doors open at 7.
