Ian plays Jinx in Plaid Tidings
I LOVE being in Plaid Tidings! I have performed in Forever Plaid twice, and it is always such an exciting rehearsal process for these Plaid shows! I enjoy a challenge, and those 4-part harmonies are REALLY hard to learn – although, I usually have it the easiest because the top line is frequently the melody. I have to hand it to those guys who are singing lines that make no sense by themselves – but when put together sound beautiful!!

We all get along really well, which is great because we have to work really hard together as a team to make it a truly solid performance every time. I am tremendously fortunate to have three really talented and hard-working guys to sing with. They are all good musicians and made the process of learning the material very smooth.
And we wouldn’t be what we are without our magnificently brilliant music director Anthony Edwards – who knows everything there is to know about music! During warm-ups before every show, we go over the most difficult parts of the score to keep it fresh in our minds and voices. I adore the music in Plaid Tidings and sincerely look forward to singing it every day!
