Fundraiser at Tea Grotto for KUER

Green Walnut Tea

Flourishing, Nourishing

The Tea Grotto flourished last thursday night for KUER’s fall fundraiser.  Rebecca Sheeran hosted delightful tea and chocolate parings.  The cast of the radio show attended.  I had the opportunity to meet the jazziest voice on the radio, Steve Williams.

The chocolates were crafted by Katie and Stephen Hatch of Hatch Family Chocolates, they were simple, yet decadent delights.  Some of the Tea Pairings included ~

  • Mint Chocolate Truffle with Jasmine Silver Tips Green Tea
  • Thick Dark Chocolate Draping Fresh Raspberries with Strawberry-Lemon Tea
  • Sliced Polenta Topped in Fresh Pesto, Pine Nuts, and Greens with Genmaicha
  • Chocolate Rum Nut with Marsala Chai Tea

I entertained the guests for the evening. I played classic jazz and my original compositions.

Blooming, Flourishing

All in all—the night was successful and inspiring! It’s amazing when folks get together, sharing their talents and gifts, offering them to each other, like flowers.  It was a very generous evening, in that it couldn’t have been successful without the generousity of all whom attended.

Shannon Smith sings at The Grotto
The Tea Grotto is an enlightening spot in Salt Lake City. After you have a cup of tea and enjoy the calming enviroment, I just feel good, naturally good.

Thank you Rebecca for the beautiful evening, KUER for the fun and Hatch Chocolates for your confections.

    Hi Shannon – that sounds gorgeous.

    I used to go to a lot of jazz – I’m not so into it these days, but I appreciate it. At one point everyone I knew was a jazz player (or just about). I attempted to be a jazz drummer and piano player for a while.

    Thanks Robin!
    I love Jazz and think that I should be available for all!
    I knew you were a musicain from your site, yet I wasn’t sure what kind. I’m very interested the recording project you have going. Tons of Jazz in Austraila? That place keeps sounding better and better al the time.
