I often ask artists in my interviews about what song from the 80’s do they consider as their theme song and you can only imagine the responses I have received. Everything from Motley Crue to Kim Carnes but when they turn the tables and ask me about mine, there has always been one song that truly defines me and my theme song. That song is Walking on Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves. That is without a doubt… my song! Can you believe 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of that awesome hit?
To celebrate the 30th anniversary Katrina (Ex-Katrina & The Waves) has announced a North American Tour for March and April. Katrina Leskanich will be touring North America this spring in support of her latest solo album entitled Blisland, her first solo offering in 10 years. Check out the tour dates which I am hoping will have a California date added:

Katrina’s vocals are simply delicious and you can check them out in her video for her soulful emotionally driven song, Sun Coming Upper:
Truly beautiful work! Make sure to visit her social media sites and stay up to date on her latest news.
