More tours have since been booked, more music has been recorded, and more plans have been made. You should probably jump on this train before it leaves you behind at the station.The beginning piano notes of “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton ring out. The audience roars. “You want some funk on it?” The audience becomes a crowd, and the roar grows. “We gonna put some funk on it. Ready?!”They are.
