Don’t miss the excitement.  My new weekly open mic at the Crazy Coqs in Brasserie Zédel starts at 10 pm tonight.

Hope to see you there!!!

Shades of Blue CD will be released officially in August, and I have 3 CD launches scheduled already!

London – Wednesday, 18th September – The Pheasantry

New York – Wednesday, 9th October – The Metropolitan Room

Tulsa – Saturday, 30th November – Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame

Commencing on 18th April, I will be hosting a weekly open mic at the amazing Crazy Coqs.  It will be geared for both the jazz and cabaret/theatre communities, and will feature Michael Roulston on piano and Jonty Fisher on bass.  Doors open at 10 pm to take names, and the music will begin at 10.30, ending at midnight.

It’s a terrific opportunity for both rising and existing stars to do a turn on the stage at what is arguably the most beautiful music room in London.

Hope to see you there!!!

At long last the CD is nearing completion.  My Live at the Pheasantry recording of SHADES OF BLUE will soon be available for purchase and download.

Stay tuned……

I’m so jazzed to be making my second CD in front of  a live audience.  I have 2 shows at The Pheasantry – Friday, 2nd and Saturday, 3rd November.  Here’s a link to an article I wrote about the process:  http://bit.ly/RsiMgc

Come along and be part of it.  If you book online in advance, tickets £5 cheaper!….. http://bit.ly/RsiMgc

Can’t believe my time in NYC is coming to an end.  Have been on a whirlwind of shows since I arrived 10 days ago – Frank Dain, Jim Speake, Salon, Cast Party at Birdland, Judy Collins, Kenny Loggins and Blue Sky Riders, Colleen McHugh, Janis Siegel, Shaynee Rainbolt, Ann Hampton Callaway, Salon again, Cast Party again, Chaplin, Backstage at 54 Below and Ray Jessell tonight.  Whew!  Not easy to keep up that pace when I’m home!!!

And now MY SHOWS on Thurs, October 4 and Friday, October 5 at the Metropolitan Room.  Book online HERE or book on 212 206 0440.

Very excited to be in NYC now, where I’ll be doing SHADES OF BLUE on October 4 and 5 at the Metropolitan Room.

I’m joining forces with Helen Theophanous for an evening of JAZZ at a brand new venue near Waterloo station – Nolia’s 11.  Great food, great art (for sale!), improvisational poetry by Adam Garrie, and great jazz by Helen and me and the Geoff Castle quartet – Geoff on piano, Dave Moses on bass, Bob Sydor on woodwinds, Steve Taylor on drums.

Doors open at 6.30 for food and drink.  Music from 8.30 pm to 11 pm.

I haven’t posted my reviews in far too long, so here are the most recent, going back to July.   Keep an eye on Sarah-Louise Young and Michael Roulston – there’s a duo you don’t want to miss.  Barb Jungr is as amazing as ever – if you haven’t seen her, make sure you catch her at the Hippodrome.  Speaking of which, their season continues to wow me. Hop along to see whomever’s on – worth your while for sure!
