Rob Thorsen, contrabajo.

What is next for you three?

"We are going to launch a third CD and tour the west coast. They have invited me to play in Istanbul, in Turkey, we also want to play more often in Baja California, we want to go to Ensenada and come to Mexico more often. We want to keep playing and growing."

How is your ideal stage like? We saw you getting down and singing with the public.

"My ideal stage is with an audience of 100, if you noticed I was able to get down with the public and to sing among you without microphones to share that with you. Not many singers do so, that allows me to get closer to the public; when I was young I had trouble because I sang too loud, now I've learned to do it more comfortably."

Fernando Gómez, el toque de la batería en jazz.

When the evening was over, she thanked her musicians and Caesar's Hotel sponsorship for inviting her. She jokingly said "in San Diego, where I live, the party starts at 9 and ends at 12, here with you it's just starting at 12, so enjoy the night." Lastly, she thanked her "boyfriend" for the two roses he gave her; he was actually a fan from the audience who honored her music with a pair of flowers.

That is how Steph Johnson said goodbye, taking her music away for the moment, but promising to come back soon. We will probably see her in Tijuana very often. This is the kind of events that the city needs to spend a peaceful, relaxed Saturday on Revolución, there is more to Tijuana than La Sexta (6th street).
