Wicked Drawl at Le Piano

Wicked Drawl makes its public premiere this May at Le Piano in Edgewater! This all new musical endeavor features the original compositions and guitar stylings of Keith Kusterer, the vocal pairings of Christina Pecce, the low end of Jeffrey Parker on the upright bass, and the tickling of the ivories by Casey Cross.

A unique cross-country experience. Lean into the twang, classically trained. Pairing old with things new. And above all, much is impromptu.
