Olivia Quillio Plays Carmen’s Cafe

It’s been a bit, I’ve been remiss posting.  But I have to share this bit of video from Olivia Quillio’s live performance last fall.

Some friends dropped in and she included them for percussion and backup/lead vocals.

Olivia has a sweet, sweet voice.  Before we booked her, she said she really wanted a career in music.  I think she could go far.
