In a tour-de-force act of honoring her grandmother’s life and legacy, Sara masterfully embodies countless colorful characters from Maria’s sensational history—from a Manila nightclub teeming with gangsters and lovers, to a Washington state trailer park where the bonds of family are forged. Chauffeured by a wickedly talented live band and Sara’s powerhouse vocals, you’ll be transported by this solo musical adventure that has critics and audiences across the country on their feet!
