We will be on WRRW 100.9 FM
This a Williamsburg public radio station so the listening area is not very big (Williamsburg, James City County, etc..)
but you can tune in via Internet at www.wrrw.fm and click on "Listen Now".
(If you miss the performance, it will be archived on this site so you can download it at a later date)
WRRW has a fantastic programming format that includes a show called

Revolutionary Radio

So all July 4th weekend the band was diligently recording.    WE set up and sound checked on Friday, then hit the record button Saturday and Sunday.  We got 11 basic songs done and we'll do some overdubbing and vocals in August!!! YAY!!... I want to thank Larry B for opening hes home and studio equipment up to us, and Amy Aiken for doing an AMAZING job as sound engineer.  What a great weekend!!!

I just received a copy of the 2007 MEONA music awards.  I am honored to announce that yours truly received first place in the Jazz Artist Category.  I am so touched that you are out there voting for me.  Thank you so much for the support. It is a very encouraging recognition to receive.   

I wanted to let you all know my good news... I was recently accepted
into the Counselor Education Doctoral Program at ODU.  I start taking
full time classes this summer.  In two years I will officially be Dr.
Lorelle!!  This means my performing schedule will remain pretty light,
but I will still be out there singing at my favorite spots, so keep an
eye on the calendar for upcoming shows. 

I made it back this week from Greece! It is official, I am a married woman.  Everything was phenomenal.  See my photos section for some of my favorite photos from our trip.

 You might notice that my schedule is pretty open. I thought I would give you an update as to why.  Paul and I are fervently planning our approaching labor day weekend wedding and Greek Island honeymoon. This is a fun and exciting process. (I am no bridezilla :) After our return we hope to get back in the swing of performing again!  

I am excited to announce that we had the great honor to open for Jim Newsom at the Suffolk Cultural Art Center.  What an amazing facility!!  We were treated like royalty, and everything was perfect from the sound to the lighting.  It was by far a peak moment!  I posted a video from the event. Check it out!!

I can't believe I haven't listed this yet... I am so excited that a new member has joined our group.  Larry B plays guitar now and everyone agrees he is a fantastic asset .  I am honored that he enjoys playing with us!  CHeck out his other work at www.myspace.com/larryberwald

 I am glad to announce that the Sonya Lorelle Band is officially back together.  I auditioned far and wide, and Ron Charlton of Hampton is the new bass plyer.  He fits in great and plays the acoustic upright which adds a great sound to our jazz numbers.  For the drummer I didn't have as far to look .  Paul Sanders, my fiance/web developer has finally agreed to perform with me . I have always admired his drumming, so I am excited to add him to the mix as well.
