She has recently performed “Raincoat� and other songs from her new album on numerous regional and local television shows including Comcast’s “Backstage With Barry Nolan�, Chicago’s “WGN Morning News�, Detroit’s “FOX 2 News Morning�, Cleveland’s “FOX 8 News In The Morning�, Boston’s “FOX 25 Morning Show� and more.
