Get the great video essay at Fox News!  Of this show, Variety wrote "she is rockin' these evenings with her 5-piece band and a contempo pop repertoire of songs by the likes of Van Morrison, Sting, James Taylor and Billy Joel. She sings with a sensual sincerity; she can evoke a heartfelt mood with feathery allure. Errico really rocks, setting fire to the cozy cabaret, whether setting a jazz standard to an
unconventional and funky beat or singing an original by her brother Mike who accompanies her with a percussive approach to guitar." (VARIETY)
