How to Say Sorry and Other Lessons is a multidiscliplinary show, an eclectic musical theater piece consisting of eight original songs interwoven with eight deeply personal stories. The show opens with a story, of the day Fawn and her then-husband told their girls that they were about to end their marriage. This leads into the musical number, "I Saw the Sun Today," which celebrates the joy of becoming a better person after grief and hardship. As the show unfolds, we are invited to consider heartbreak, consent, gender roles, infidelity, shame, humility, and redemption. Composer & author Doug Jamieson called the show "Virtuosic soul-bearing".

Co-written with pianist/composer/life-partner David Restivo, the music encompasses swing, funk, pop, gospel, and even a touch of reggae. This unique musical experience is a thrilling emotional ride that leaves audiences both thoughtful and joyful.

While Fawn is located in Whitehorse, Yukon, her bandmates are in southern BC (Nelson and Victoria). The show can be delivered as a full quartet (piano, bass, drums, vocals), or as small as a duo.

Fawn has lived and performed all over the country, including all three of Canada’s northern territories. She embodies Canada’s diversity with her mixed cultural roots – Chinese, French, and German – singing in her three ancestral languages as well as English.

Raised on folk, classical, and musical theatre, Fawn was a latecomer to jazz, but the bug bit her hard, and she quickly garnered accolades. Tim Tamashiro (former host of CBC Radio's national jazz program Tonic) named Fawn “one of Canada’s top swingers”. In 2014, Fawn won the Julian Award of Excellence for Emerging Jazz Artists.
