It was a blast to get up and show off a lit­tle bit of my per­son­al­ity through song and to also join this group of Philly’s finest singers and per­form­ers brought together for a night of fun and bril­liant per­for­mances. I owe all my thanks to Larry and the cast of Strictly Pla­tonic.” Jamie Goldman

“New Voices offers an amazing, unique opportunity to perform your own 20 minute set to an incredible audience in the Philadelphia area.

My other performers were amazingly talented and a delight to share a stage with and I got to have a huge amount of creative freedom over my 4 song set with a wonderful house pianist, Jen Buono. If I could do the cabaret every month I'd sign up in a heartbeat, it was that much fun.” Margot Adams
