As part of her return, she'll be doing a full Orlando blitz with appearances on WPRK, speaking at her alma mater, a listening party at Park Ave CDs (7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11) and a solo performance at the Gallery at Avalon Island (7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14). But the Will's Pub appearance that kicks off her homecoming tour will be the only local opportunity to see this upward, homegrown artist on stage with the full band package. Further proof that this is a local event at heart: One dollar of every ticket sold will go to the Billy Manes Foundation. – Bao Le-Huu
