This is the third visit from our most awesome and talented friend, Chris McNulty.  If I had my way, she'd be with me on almost every occasion.  But this woman has been blissfully busy - and part of that has to do with enjoying the success of her latest project, released in March.

"Eternal" is the seventh album from Our Beautiful Wonder From Down Under (she'll love that!).  And it's full of the most sincere readings of timeless lyrics that you could possibly conjure.  Chris has been singing Jazz with utmost clarity for a long time, but losing her son in 2011 took a toll that catapulted her in many directions.  When she was able to surface, her voice took on a new and raw honesty.  Her work had garnered attention with "The Song That Sings You Here" in her native Australia.  She won the prestigious Bell Award there in 2013.  The attention has grown enormously since that time.  Which brings us to this new musical chapter.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Chris found herself with no electricity, heat or water in New York - the city she adopted when she moved to the States in the 80's.  In the cold solitude of that reality, the formation of "Eternal" was born. Contemplation of sorrow, forcing hope into the pain, feeling a myriad of emotions so strong that they had to be conveyed....this is what Chris needed to give to us.  Sharing loss this personal, yes.  But striving to enable a common bond.  And one of the most important: faith in the knowledge that love transcends ALL.  Love brings us home.  

"Eternal" has been lauded by some of the sharpest critics on the scene - each one, almost overcome with praise.  Because the truth is in Chris McNulty's interpretation at every instances.  Each song becomes HERS.  Hear a gifted artist at her peak. Join us on 8/18 at 2 p.m. ET.
