About a month ago, I went to New York City to attend the CD Release Party for David Raleigh, for 'The Equation of Love'. I was joined by my sister, Kim, for this great evening. That was the night of October 20th, and we made our way into the city to find The Cutting Room, found near the corner of 32nd & Park Avenue. David was in great voice that night, and we both had an great time. I will be going more in depth shortly, but until then, here is an overview of the evening with David Raleigh.
Sometimes, I just find my life to be amazing. After all, on Sunday, I was on the farm in Delaware, doing stalls and putting the horses out. On Monday, I was traveling to New York, and attending an event that had red carpet moments! And hearing Raleigh performing live was a good reason to make the trip! Soon, I will have more videos, pictures, and my thoughts on his new CD. To learn more about David Raleigh, visit his official website. You can also 'follow' him on Twitter, and 'like' him on Facebook. You can find his music at your favorite online music stores. You can purchase 'Beginning Again' from iTunes and Amazon. 'The Equation of Love' can be found on iTunes and Amazon. You can't go wrong with either CD!
Singer/songwriter Derek Nicoletto has released a new music video, featuring the song "Hell In Gramercy". The song was featuring on the 2013 release, 'Just Panic and Get it Over With', the latest set of new music from the artist. The song beautifully combines the influences found in Nicoletto's music, in this case Rock, Electronica, and Pop. There is something wonderfully bombastic, while still maintaining a personalize touch, with a palpable emotional current running throughout. Derek's vocals are so alive, so vibrant, I find this song hard to resist. The video was directed by Josh Stoddard and Max Lewin, and shot on location at Gibson Showroom, New York City. This is "Hell In Gramercy" by Derek Nicoletto.
I just love the pyrotechnic quality of the track, and the video captures it perfectly! You can find "Hell In Gramercy" on Derek's 2012 release, 'Just Panic and Get It Over With'. You can purchase it from iTunes and Amazon. To learn more about Derek Nicoletto, check out his official website. You can also "follow" him on Twitter and "like" him on Facebook. Let him know how much you love the video, I am sure he'd love to hear from everyone!
I was lucky enough to be introduced to the music of Sonali through my friends at LaFamos, and am I glad they did. Sonali is currently in new York City at NYU, as she was invited to be a part of the prestigious Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, in New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. This has allowed the young singer/songwriter to sharpen her plentiful skills, both as a writer and a performer. Apparently, her time at NYU has inspired her, for she has a new EP out, 'Wake Up'.
'Wake Up' is a five-song collection of Pop treats, more delicious desserts than Pop Tarts. The EP opens with "Wake Up", a bright and sweet call to live life to the fullest, with your eyes wide open. That is followed by "Who We Are", the second track. This is a wonderful story of self-acceptance, and the acceptance of others. It is also the first music video from the album, and it perfectly captures the spirit of this young artist. With it, she offers a message of what prejudice and hate can do to a family unit, and to crush the spirit of a young person. It also showcases her belief in equality, and her support of the LGBT community. This is the official music video for "What We Are".
The next cut, "Find Your Way", is more introspective. There is a wonderful confessional feel, showcasing Sonali's vocals with a spartan arrangement. There is something so sweet and delicate in her performance, I just had to listen to it a couple of times before moving on. "Holding Pattern" brings back the effervescent Pop, while keeping some real meat on the bone as she balances moving forward with her search for so much in life. The final track on the EP is "September", displaying a great wisdom and strength from the young artist. I hope you enjoy this video for Sonali's "September".
It is exciting to be there at the beginning of a career of an artist as talented as Sonali, which is what we are all invited to do with her 'Wake Up' EP. We get to hear her speak from the heart, and start on a great journey. I can't wait to see where it goes. You can purchase 'Wake Up' from iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby. To learn more about Sonali, you can visit her official website. You can also 'like' her on Facebook, and 'follow' her on Twitter.
I am proud to say I am a big fan of David Raleigh. Now, anyone who has paid attention to my posts would know that was not breaking news, for I've shared his music over the last couple of years. In fact, it's been a little more than two years since I traveled to New York City to see and hear David and his friend/producer Nathan Leigh Jones perform at Joe's Pub. And it has been almost three years since the singer was featured on the blog for the first time, with the music video for 'That's What Friends Are For', which also featured recent Tony-winner Billy Porter, Sir Ari Gold, and Emmy-nominated Alan Cumming, all interested in raising funds for the Ali Forney Center, a New York City shelter for homeless GLBT youth. There was so much talent on this project, and it introduced me to some talented I didn't really know before, always a great thing.
When David recently announced he would be heading back in the studio to work on a new album, I got excited. And when he announced the Kickstarter page, to begin a crowdfunding campaign, you better believe I wanted to be a part of it. You see, I am the type of guy who wants people making music I love to keep it going. And David certainly falls into that category. Now that I have made my pledge, I was able to bring my mind back to the blog, and had to chance to ask a few questions of the singer/songwriter, which I am thrilled to be sharing with you now. First, I wanted to know how David decided to take a swim in the Crowdfunding pool? "Am I swimming?! Yay," he exclaimed! "Well, I was in the studio with my producer, Nathan Leigh Jones, working on the tunes for this next album. We were sitting around shootin' the shit, and the question of how the album would be financed came up. (As unfortunately it always does) Nathan brought up the idea of using Kickstarter. I had heard of artists having success on various crowdfunding sites and had been intrigued by the idea, but had never actually thought of using one myself. But I looked into it and and researched a few of them. Kickstarter won me over. I loved the platform, it's 'reward' concept seemed fun and engaging. So I decided to jump in head first! I hope that a few of your readers will jump in the pool with me too! The water's warm!." I am always interested in how an artist sees and hears their own music, so I wanted to know how David would define his own music. "Funny that you ask that question," he answered with a smile. "Well, actually NOT funny, but you know what I mean. People always ask me that and I'm always hesitant to answer. I feel as a lot of artists do that my music isn't always easy to define. I like all different kinds of styles and want to be able to explore everything. It's a dilemma! Ha Ha! But when pressed, I like to say that my music is pretty much a cocktail (and who doesn't like COCKTAILS!) A generous pour of R&B mixed with a dash of Jazz, poured into a large, chilled pop/rock ice filled glass with a floater of Cabaret on top. YUM! Uh-huh, don't be shy, you know you want some!" His piano-driven songs are definitely a mix of styles, a wonderful melange of influences. You can see how well this works in this clip from last year of David singing "I Do", off his album 'Beginning Again'.
On his Kickstarter page, David talks about the budget for the album, and that would include costs to record in Australia. While I know David shares time between New York and Australia, I wanted to know why in Australia? "I split my recording between New York and Sydney," he remarked. "I've been working and collaborating with my producer for five years now and he happens to live and work between Sydney and New York, so with the bi-continental studio and engineering connections that he has, and the bi-continental musical connections we both have it just makes sense to create and record in both cities. I think it really gives the project a rare depth that we are lucky to experience as a part of our lives." So I dying to know if the different homes inspired him musically? "I would say not really, but I don't know if that would be entirely truthful," he admitted. "I LOVE NYC. It's in my blood and I feel it's who I am as a person. I'm inspired and juvenated by it, even when I'm not in it. The way I act, live, respond, create and perform is the embodiment of being a New Yorker. That being said, I feel as a writer, I'm at my most creative when I'm in Australia. Specifically Sydney. I LOVE that city as well. It's my "safe place" my haven. Every breath I breathe there is nourishing and inspiring. So even though I don't think the two countries, or cities inspire "different" music, I approach writing differently in each city because of the different forms of inspiration they give me."
Now, I was intrigued, and wanted to know if there is a difference between playing shows in New York City and in Sydney? "Well one fantastic benefit of touring as a musician from New York City is that everyone loves New York City. In theory if not in actuality," he said with a smile. "My experience is that Australians more so than most are hugely influenced creatively and artistically by America. Vegas, LA, and NYC being at the top of their "favorites" list. I love that my style, my music and my story are unique and a bit exotic to them and It brings me happiness to share my music with them, because I know that deep down inside it highlights the similarities and "oneness" that we all have with each other."
On his Kickstarter page, David talks about wanting to make a 'definitive' album. So I couldn't resist asking him what albums by other artists would he would call definitive? "Ha! Another good question, H," he said, once again offering that trademark smile. "Well, I'm attracted to and highly influenced by the pop/rock and singer/songwriters of the 70's so I would have to say MY biggest "definitive" album influences are Carole King's 'Tapestry', Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life', 'Hotel California' by The Eagles, The Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway album, and 'Escape' by Journey. There are tons more that moved me and some were even recorded in the 80's and 90's! Ha! Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and Prince's 'Purple Rain', Maxwell's 'Urban Suite', Erykah Badu's 'Baduizm', and Pearl Jam's 'Ten' to name a few. I'm a sucker for emotional singers." Well, I can certainly identify with that!
There are two weeks left for you to join in the crowdfunding campaign! You can find David on Kickstarter, which closes out on August 15, 2013. Once on the page, you can see the pledge levels, from $5 to $10,000. There are plenty of rewards for those pledges, from personalized thank yous, to the chance to hear the album before anyone else, and give it a name! For more about David Raleigh, visit his official website. You can also 'follow' him on Twitter, and 'like' him on Facebook. I know he'd love to hear from you, and to say "hello". You can find his last album, 'Beginning Again', on iTunes and Amazon.
Are you wondering what you might want to get yourself or someone you love for Christmas this year? Near the top of your list should be the just released live album from Tony Award-winning singer/songwriter, Levi Kreis. The album has 14 tracks, with 10 great songs, and four totally charming dialogues Levi had with the audience. While I didn't catch this show in New York City, I did see the tour twice, first in the DC area, and again in Philadelphia. In fact, here is a little taste of the show at the World Cafe Live.
First, having taken a couple of days to listen to it, and it is beautifully recorded at Joe's Pub, which is a great club. The playlist was similar, but not the same as the shows I attended, which was not surprising. There were differences in the two I saw. On the recording, Levi starts out with a song to loosen up his limber fingers as he sits at the piano to play the joyful Hallelujah, I Love Her So, written by Ray Charles. It showcases Levi's strong southern blues background, and gets the audience on their feet. He follows it with another cover, although it is quite different. He sings I Can't Make You Love Me, a song written by Mike Reid & Allen Shamblin, originally performed by Bonnie Raitt. It sits in a beautiful spot in Levi's range, and envelops the listener with a warm embrace. Soon he sings two songs off his debut album, One Of The Ones. First, he explains the history behind making the album, and then sings the gorgeous Just This Good. It is a beautiful love song, bold and soulful, so full of joy and life. That is followed up with I Should Go, and Levi just happened to post a video of him singing the song at home, so here it is.
He finishes up with one more song from that 2005 debut, singing the charming Left Over. Soon he is taking up the 2006 release, The Gospel According To Levi. First up is The Reckoning, an interesting blend of soul, gospel, and Freud. Levi also sings We're Okay, a song he tells us speaks to the relationship with his mother, which has not always been easy. Soon he moved on to Where I Belong, the 2007 release that reached back to his much stronger southern soul roots. That is quite evident in the piano-driven Gonna Be Alright, which includes a little tip of the hat to Stevie Wonder and Songs In The Key Of Life. We were treated to Nothing At All, the stunning ballad featured in a video that topped the charts at both LOGO and MTV. Finally, he ends the show with a treat. Let It Go is a song he is working on for the new album due out in 2012. You can purchase Live @ Joe's Pub at iTunes here, and at Amazon here. Buy it for yourself - you'll be glad you did.
Top: Garrin Benfield. @nd Row: Jason Antone, Eric Himan, Levi Kreis. 3rd Row: Nathan Leigh Jones. 4th Row: Tom Goss and Garrin Benfield.
As I was thinking about the blogiversary, I couldn't help but be reminded that I am a very lucky boy, having been able to catch some seriously good shows over the last 6 months. It all started last December, when I got to see Garrin Benfield for the first time! I have been a fan for several years, and have collected it all. Somehow, our schedules just never seemed to be in synch. So I was unbelievably excited when I had the chance to see him at the Grape Room in Manayunk, PA, with dear Mistress Maddie. It was a fantastic time!
When I saw Jason Antone, Levi Kreis and Eric Himan at The World Cafe Live! in Philadelphia, PA, in early January, I will admit it was not the first time I had the chance to enjoy them. I saw a show in Virginia in December, but my pictures were bad. I did have a great time, for I caught the show with Sweet Tom Goss and his husband, Mike. But in January, I was the show with family, having my sister, my niece, and cousins along to share the joy.
I was so very excited to catch Tom Goss at The Psalm Salon in Philadelphia, PA, for his CD Release Party for the new one, Turn It Around. With an album of new music, I knew it would be thrilling, but it surpassed my expectations. What a great time!
I went to another CD Release Party, this time for Australian singer/songwriter Nathan Leigh Jones at Joe's Pub in New York, NY. I was joined there by the delightful David Dust, who will always make for a fun time. But we both had a great time when David Raleigh sang an opening number, and Nathan played the entire album for the appreciative audience.
And just a few weeks ago, I was back in New York City to see Garrin Benfield at Sullivan Hall in New York, NY. Yes, after having missed his several years in a row, I was catching a second show, another CD Release Party. To be sure, I was loving the new album, The Wave Organ Song, but hearing it played live, well, that was just spectacular!
I look forward to catching more show, and bringing them back for you, my friends. Jake Walden is coming to town soon, Eric Himan is coming back in support of his latest album, and so many others are looking to play. And I am always more than willing to hear!
Saturday, May 14, 2011, I was joined by my friends James and Brian to see the amazing Garrin Benfield performing at Sullivan Hall in Manhattan. I've been a fan of Benfield's for several years, and only got the first chance to see him live the end of last year. I will not miss a show if I can help it, cause his music just invigorates me, washes me clean of burdens and transports me to a place I love to be. Before the show, I was able to convince James, a photographer, to take pictures for me, and so I have far better pictures than I would ever manage on my own. Thank you James! (You can find his blog here & website here)And that left my hands free to be working the video camera, and have some treats for my readers. Treats like Rock N' Roll, a new song from The Wave Organ Song album. Here he is joined on stage by his sister, Claudia.
Originally, I was planning on doing an elaborate write up on what a great album The Wave Organ Song is cause, well, it is. Garrin has a way of communicating on a highly personal level with his music that might be jarring, only somehow, it isn't. He's not telling stories with his songs, he is sharing a piece of his life. His music and lyrics weave a tapestry not meant to be admired in a museum, but instead lived with in your home, sometimes wrapped around you to keep you warm. A perfect example would be another song from the new album, Colors In You.
One of the reasons I picked to go to the show was because it was a birthday present to myself. It was the perfect gift - music that I love, a live show with dear friends. And I get to receive presents like this, hearing Garrin perform an amazing cover of the late Alex Chilton's introspective song, Thirteen, which can be found on the new album.
Well, let me start off by saying whether it is an advent of my age, the music I listen to, r whatever, but when I hear a musician really start to jam live, it is as close as I get to having sex in a public place any more. When Garrin had completed his cover of John Lennon's Give Peace A Chance, I felt as thought I needed a cigarette, even though I had given up that habit 4 months before. Yep, I was breathing a little heavy, felt a little drain and just a tad sweaty. It really was that good. Here's Give Peace A Loop, what do you think?
It was an outstanding evening, made even better by great company. Afterwards, Brian, James and I went to get something to eat, and revel in the music of the evening. James thought that any evening that including great covers of Alex Chilton and John Lennon had to be great, and Brian sat there smiling and laughing, basking in the afterglow of wonderful music and company. You can find The Wave Organ Song on iTunes for $9.99 here, or on Amazon.com for $8.99 here. For more about Garrin Benfield, check out his official website here. Garrin is out on tour in California now, so if you have the chance, go. To check out his tour schedule, go here. And buy his music. You won't regret it.
I have been a fan of Garrin Benfield for several years, and somehow never managed to see him play live. I was beginning to think there was something the fates didn't like, but that has since changed. In the last 6 months, I have seen Benfield twice, in Philly in December and just last weekend in New York City. At the show at The Grape Room, I was blown away. This is a clip of Garrin performing his own composition, Colors In You.
This next clip is from the show in New York. I am so glad I went to it. In fact, I considered it a bit of a birthday present to myself, and I did a fine job choosing that one! I met up with some dear friends, and they also joined be at the show. Benfield was brilliant. Here is part of the song, The Loop, and in particular, the Jam section.
I had an absolutely amazing time when I saw SIRPAUL live in New York City last summer. I had my niece and my friend Rickey with me, and it was just a non-stop party, just an utter joyous experience. I am just grateful you can't hear me singing along with the great songs!
While I didn't tape this one, it was done by SIRPAUL at the same show, and I was having too much fun to tape an entire song, so this I will use his clip. This is Mistaken from the Music & Me album.
The photos above were taken by me as Garrin Benfield prepared for the show.
On Saturday May 14, I went to the CD Release party in Manhattan for Garrin Benfield's new album, The Wave Organ Song. I have been looking forward to this show for some time, and it most certainly did not disappoint. While I gather my various materials together - video and photographs - I thought I would post this compilation tape with clips from many of the songs performed at the show at Sullivan Hall in the West Village.
While I was in town, I met with friends, some of whom accompanied me to the show. Mal & Helen met for drinks before the show, but had to get home to help son John with some homework. Brian and James had the whole evening set aside for drinks, a show, and a late dinner. It was a great night, filled with love, laughter and music. Can't ask for more!

Last week I celebrated Ari Gold's birthday. This week, I have found a video of a recent performance where Gold featured his latest single, Make My Body Rock, and was raising money for the Ali Forney Center in New York City, a foundation which offers housing to LGBT Youth. And as Ari is not one to scrimp on the production values when he performs, he did pull out all the stops, and offered up this extravaganza at the club Hiro in New York City. Get ready to crank up the volume and go full screen, cause HEEEEEEEERRRRREEEE's Ari!
About The Ali Forney Center As the visibility of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people grows in our society, more and more LGBT teens are finding the courage to come out of the closet.
Tragically, as many as 25% of these teens are rejected by their families, and many end up homeless on the streets. Homeless LGBT teens are more likely than straight homeless teens to be subjected to violence on the streets, and in the homeless shelter system. They suffer from inordinate rates of mental illness, trauma, HIV infection and substance abuse.
The Ali Forney Center (AFC) was started in June of 2002 in response to the lack of safe shelter for LGBT youth in New York City. We are committed to providing these young people with safe, dignified, nurturing environments where their needs can be met, and where they can begin to put their lives back together.
You can go to their website HERE, and donate money to support this amazing organization. You can check out what great work they do, and see some great videos. You can also join their mailing list and receive regular updates on the activities at the Center.
For more information about Ari Gold, you can check out the post here, can provide information, as well as links.
A view of Sheridan Square - Circle Rep on the far right
This post originally ran in July 2009. As the result of the Delaware Senate race has distracted me, I thought we would revisit this memory and dedicate it to tolerance and equality for all.
From April 1983 to September 1992, I made my home in New York City. I had finished college and did an internship with the Actor's Theater of Louisville before heading the the city to meet up with the [then] love of my life. For a couple of years, I worked at the Circle Repertory Theatre Company, starting with the Off-Broadway production of A Fool For Love, starring Kathy Baker and Ed Harris.
One of the perks of living in NYC was getting to see lots of off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway theater. One particularly enjoyable experience was getting to see the drag troupe BlooLips performing at Theater For The New City, located on the lower East side. I was lucky enough to attend a few of the productions, since BlooLips were originally based out of London, but I think a couple of the players stayed in NYC.
Lavinia Co-op and Betty Bourne
BlooLips was theater on a shoestring, with tiny budgets but huge creativity. With performers like the astounding Betty Bourne, the enchanting Lavinia Co-op, the delightful Precious Pearl, and many others, their makeup was exaggerated, and the costumes self-made. Long before there was Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert, there was BlooLips. And best of all, tickets were affordable for poor people to have some of the best fun money could buy. The following clip is from the show, Get Hur.
It should come as no surprise to anyone, but I am a huge fan of live music. So when tickets went on sale for a SIRPAUL show in New York City, I reached for my credit card and bought my tickets. There was little that would have stopped me from catching my first SIRPAUL concert, and June 26, 2010, was blocked off the calendar. I knew where I was going to be.
I've been a fan of SIRPAUL for a couple of years now. I think the first album I downloaded was the 2006 Dismantle, and it is still a favorite. I love his song Addicted, which remains special to me. It's like I heard that, and I've been hooked. Don't get me wrong, I love them all. But there is always a soft spot for your first, right?
SIRPAUL with DJ Alex Lauterstein
Well, SIRPAUL did not disappoint. In fact, despite the fact I went in with ridiculously high expectations, I was nothing short of amazed. From showing up and being brought to my seats by Paul Peterson, SIRPAUL's partner, to find they were rather spectacular, so close to the stage I swear if I smiled, SIRPAUL could count my crows feet. I was sharing a table with my niece, Mandy, and Rickey Yaneza, blogger of the world renown Rickey.Org. We were excited to get out goodies - the ≠ button we all immediately put on, the sticker, and the download card, entitling the bearer to a free download of SIRPAUL's latest, Music & Me.
SIRPAUL lays down music that is smart, musical and danceable. From the first song to the last, the 15-song show had me clapping my hands, singing along, tapping my feet, and chair-dancing like never before. Starting with sexy DJ Alex Lautenstein hiding behind the Mac and the gorgeous Jessie Riley are on stage with the Intro/She's So Unusual opening, to SIRPAUL taking to the stage and making Killer sound sweet yet deadly, complete with Jessie, the black widow in the video, I knew this was going to be something memorable. I could hardly keep still to take picture, let alone video, which I have to apologize for in advance for the Blair Witch style during some of it. But, in my defense, no one can keep still to this music. No one. And I have to mention James Contrino, SIRPAUL's cousin. Not only is he handsome, his voice blends beautifully. [And his partner Adam was really nice, too!]
We come next to a block of songs from Music & Me, starting with Digital World (Killed the Radio Star), a clever one about life in these electronic times, Mistaken, Music & Me/Physical Attraction, Give it Up (Til Ya Get Enough) and Press Rewind/One More Time. They are all great songs, better than most, if not all of what I hear on the radio.
Secret Love from Objectified, was up next, and such a sexy song it is! Then back to Music & Me for U, an ethereal love song SIRPAUL dedicated to his partner, Paul. Colors was up next, another song from the new release, a hot ballad that reminds me a bit of YAZ. Let Me Go, Objectified, continues the electronica sound. Then comes the outstanding cut Don't Stop (Break the Beat), from Music & Me, and we were treated to SIRPAUL & James being joined by SIRPAUL's talented sister, Cherylyn, adding even more depth and beauty.
I have also had a long love affair with Do U, first as a single and then part of Objectified. What a rocking good time! And there is Thrust 2010, originally from an EP of the same name - kinda makes me sweat a bit, in a good way. He closed the concert with Shine from Music & Me. It is such a celebration of life and love, and brought everyone to their feet, dancing in the audience. Glorious!
So here is the video compilation of some of the songs I taped, along with a few pictures I took. Forgive my limited skill with the videocam, and revel in the great show SIRPAUL put on for an audience that loved every minute of it. After the show, Mandy turned to me and said 'if he has another show, I want to come!' I know I'll be there.
Stop by SIRPAUL's official site here, and comment if you feel so moved. You can find Music & Me on iTunes here. It is well worth the $9.99, and will be a valued part of your collection. And when the next show is announced, I'll race you all for tickets! And in case anyone missed it, here is me getting all fanboi-like to SIRPAUL, and him saying 'hi' to everyone here.
Saturday night, I hit the town to see SIRPAUL in concert, along with my niece Mandy, and friend and blogger Rickey Yaneza. The show was outrageously good, and I will get to that in another post very soon. But in the meanwhile, here are some pictures and video Rickey graciously took after the show.
Yes, that is you he is talking to, dear readers. I will have more on the show of this talented, sweet, and handsome man soon, I promise. Such a great night!
I am going to see SIRPAUL this weekend, so posting will be a bit light while I am away. I will try to get some done in advance, like the Doctor Who recap and some music posts, but as the show gets closer, I am gaining in excitement and losing the time to get things accomplished. But I hope to return with some great pictures, as well as a video or two I will be dying to share with my readers.
