Patrick O’Heffernan (Los Angeles) Doña Oxford never gets older; she just gets better.

Set for release November 30, the 13-song Live… And Loud! album was recorded during live performances in Europe this past spring and is timed to launch her next European tour, which kicks off with a gig at the famous 606 Club in London.
