Matt’s & Stephanie Fogg’s Lullaby to be Performed at Carnegie Hall!

Matt — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 04:15:58 +0000

I am so proud to say that one of the lullabies that Stephanie Fogg and I wrote and performed will be featured and performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City! This is very exciting for me as a musician, composer, and parent.

Here is some more information about the lullaby project…

The Lullaby Project, part of Carnegie Hall’s Musical Connections program, creates musical experiences for women facing pregnancy in their teenage years or while homeless or incarcerated. The project invites participants to work with professional artists to write a personal lullaby for their babies, strengthening the bond between parent and child. Now extending across the country, the Lullaby Project enables partner organizations to support families in their own communities.

Here’s a link to the song that was selected – enjoy!
