Recently she and her brother Jake Epstein have been performing their own show “FAM JAM” on porches and backyards around Toronto as part of the Musical Stage Company’s PORCHSIDE SONGS to great acclaim.

Her solo show “Gabs Sings Babs” premiered at the Toronto Jazz Festival and will be performed LIVE at Globus Theatre in August.
