Testimonials

"Cece enlivened the walls and made the lights a little brighter in an 1886 opera house that hadn’t seen that style of exuberant music since the 20s!"

— Mike Hocker, Executive Director of the Ohio Lincoln Highway Historic Byway

"Coupling her operatic solos with sing-alongs, Cece got a great crowd for her effusive and enthusiastic kick-off Lincoln Highway songfest performance at 4:30 PM at a Manhattan venue better known for its 4:30 AM performances!"

— Jerry Peppers, Director of the New York State Chapter of the Lincoln Highway Association
