This is not your mothers cup of tea but she is surely welcome to come sip! With a flair for the excessive, Harper tackles reality with razor sharp wit. Years in the making, procrastination wasn't intention but has been great for content, Harper bursts at the seams while bearing it all. A palpable storytelling, let me count the ways is a soul baring journey through love, loss and self sabotage. Never have you experienced such an optimistic break down.

Just imagine that folk, rock, edm and RnB had a baby; a TALL GAY FABULOUS BABY!
