In 2003, Gennarose met with producer/engineer Keith Slattery. They began to collaborate on her first CD compilation and production, Spirit: a twelve-track jazz/r&b album that includes eleven of her original songs. While working on Spirit, Gennarose also became a member of the 15-Grammy Award winning Jimmy Sturr Orchestra. She has had hundreds of performances with the orchestra, playing such venues as BB Kings in Manhattan, Wolfs Den at Mohegan Sun, Farm Aid with Willie Nelson , The Stardust in Las Vegas and Musikantenstadl (live TV show broadcast to 25+ million in Europe). She was also featured in the 14-episode satellite-tv broadcast, The Jimmy Sturr Show.
You can hear Gennarose on their latest grammy award winning album, Shake, Rattle and Polka, singing Love Me Tender with Elvis original Jordainaires. Spirit is currently finished and being actively marketed. Gennarose plans to showcase the album at various locations throughout the tri-state area.
A Huge thanks goes to Clubhouse Recording in Rhinebeck for inspiring us so thoroughly during the tracking of "Spirit," to Quad Recording Studios for allowing for vocal fine-tuning and initial demo recording, to Gene Pope for his everlasting support, funding and advice, to Tristan Pope for his amazing rendition of www.gennarose.com, and to the universe for landing me this far.

Hi. Would you care for some more apple pie instead of being on stage when they play songs you're supposed to sing? Yea.
Good seeing you last weekend. I found more apple pie in the fridge when I got home. Although...it wouldn't have done you much good since you were looking for a fork.
I just uploaded your awesome water slide video from the cruise.......you should check it out..........I would have added the others but......you know the situation
