Rehearsing some Bareilles together, 1400 miles apart
Stephannie Moore on vocals in Florida and Ben Lewis on piano in Chicago rehearse Sara Bareilles’s “She Used To Be Mine”, 1400 miles apart. Stephannie writes, “Ben and I have never met in person. He found out that I was using FarPlay and he was looking for some fun collaboration. This was a live, synchronous run through that we did. … it’s a pretty amazing thing to be able to do this together”.
Dr. Stephannie Moore works with students across the US, UK, Europe, and Asia. She’s also a clinical researcher who specializes in preventing and rehabilitating singing voice injuries.
“A monster of a pianist” (Chicago Jazz Magazine), Ben is founding member and Musical Director of the Lt. Dan Band with actor/bassist Gary Sinise.
