🎬 New Video Release: “Lovely Day” — A Soulful Duet from Healing & Heart

We’re excited to share a brand-new video from our August 2025 Healing & Heart concert: a luminous performance of Bill Withers’s classic “Lovely Day” — arranged for vocal duet and jazz guitar.

This version of “Lovely Day” brings an intimate, soulful energy to the stage. Instead of a large ensemble moment, the spotlight rests on two expressive soloists whose tone, blend, and understated warmth pair beautifully with the gentle groove of jazz guitar. The result is a performance that feels personal, heartfelt, and effortlessly uplifting.
