[Dixielandjazz] Bria

[Jerry Gordon]

I first heard and saw Bria at the Victoria and Port Angeles festivals in
2005. If I remember correctly (which is a pretty big if), she was still a
senior in college, or perhaps she had just graduated. I guess that would put
her at about 26-27.

I could maybe be off by a year, she could be 26..........the probable reason
that you've been hearing about her for so long is I believe she started
performing professionally at about 19

Steve Barbone would probably know better than I as I think he knows her
personally..
