COMING UP - I'll be performing at Allenberry Playhouse in PA. From June 1 - Sept 28 I'll be in four shows Sylvia in "All Shook Up," Narrator in "Joseph...," Muzzy in "Thorougly Modern Millie," and Patsy in "Always. . .Patsy Cline." It's going to be rough but a challenge. Just what I like!! Followed up by working at Radio City again as Mrs. Claus!!RECENT PAST - I was in Radio City's Christmas Spectatular here in the city. It was the 75th Anniversary of the show and NYC finally decided to add live singers - so I was in the first cast! I also played Mrs. Claus there too!! Very exciting though I was in NYC all thru the holidays all by myself. But it was so worth it. Performing in THAT theater with such talented people is a rush I'll never forget!!!SHORT HISTORY - Well I've been living in NYC for 7 years now and I love it. For 3 1/2 of them I worked as lead singer on cruise ships for Holland America Line. Because of this I've had to sing in a variety of different styles from Blues to Broadway and Country to Opera. That's where two of my songs come from. The duet, sung with Bobby Black, was also from that time but I was "sitting in" in his show! But ships are all in the past. Now it's on to bigger and better things! About a year ago, I joined "Soul Be It." It's a 13 piece funk/soul band based in Long Island filled with crazy talented musicans with big hearts!! Plays Earth, Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears, etc. That's where the Ain't No Other Man track came from. More to come from there too!! Definitely something new and challenging, but what frustrates me now will only make me more well rounded in the future!! In April we opened for Frankie Valli:) If you want to check out the band we have a myspace account - www.myspace.com/soulbeit It's also in my top 8!!Talk about two very different jobs I'll be doing - band which is very free form and then Radio City that is all about being exact and the same every time! Should be interesting!NBC Network special of the 75th Anniversary of the Christmas SpectacularMySpace Layouts Myspace LayoutsI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4With Soul Be It (I Wish) - raw footage from our preview video!!
