Caffeine—voted the #3 most popular way to stay awake during my show—right after thinking of words that rhyme with "constellation" and reliving your latest root canal (I'll let you figure out the order). Two hours of songs about coffee and tea and the singers who enjoy them, plus, to sweeten the cup, I've tossed in several startling, incredible, and highly-caffeinated performances.
