A very special episode with violinist, singer, actress Lucia Micarelli! 

\\n

Born in Queens, New York, Lucia has been immersed in the arts since the age of three. After attending the Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music,  Lucia began to develop a growing interest in non-classical music.  She started moonlighting with local jazz and rock bands in New York clubs, and  she was offered to tour with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra as a featured violinist and concertmaster.

\\n

In addition, she\\u2019s been a featured soloist in two of Josh Groban\\u2019s world tours, toured extensively with Chris Botti and was featured in his \\u201cLive From Boston\\u201d PBS special along with being featured in Barbra Streisand\\u2019s 2013 international tour. She also released two solo studio albums, \\u201cMusic From A Farther Room\\u201d and \\u201cInterlude\\u201d.  But 2009 saw Lucia broadening her career even further when she was cast in the starring role of \\u201cAnnie\\u201d in HBO\\u2019s critically acclaimed series, \\u201cTreme\\u201d, created by David Simon and Eric Overmeyer, which ran for four seasons and won a Peabody Award as well as a Primetime Emmy Award.

\\n

Since then, Lucia\\u2019s profile has continued to soar. In 2018, Lucia appeared in her first PBS concert special, which aired throughout the US and spawned the live album \\u201cAn Evening with Lucia Micarelli\\u201d.  In 2020, Lucia joined the Hallmark Family and starred in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries holiday movie \\u201cThe Christmas Bow\\u201d alongside Michael Rady.  Whether on stage or screen, Lucia is sure to take you on an eclectic journey through her many musical influences - from classical to jazz to traditional fiddle music and Americana - all bound together by her trademark emotional vulnerability and technical wizardry.
