…on November 7, I heard the two-year old Marquee Five perform a show called “8-Track Throwback,” a five-part harmony homage to the music of the 1960s and ‘70s. In Marquee Five, I knew I’d found my Manhattan Transfer for the new millennium…“Marquee” is the appropriate moniker for this group of smooth, synchronized and powerful singers who seamlessly blend together for a magical musical brew. There’s little doubt their names will be showcased above a theater entrance somewhere very soon.

Read the rest of this wonderful review/”history of” Marquee Five in the Times Square Chronicle by Stephen Hanks.  Makes me so proud to be in this group! If you haven’t already, order our “8-Track Throwback” CD (and maybe a Tshirt!) by downloading and mailing in this order form.  Amazon.com and iTunes links to come as well.

Also, the wonderful live-performance photographer Adam Jason (www.adamjasonphotography.com) captured us having fun on stage – check out our full gallery of photos on Marquee Five’s Facebook album.

Posted today, an article and photo coverage at BroadwayWorld.com of James Barbour’s opening performance at Birdland. I was a guest singer, as well as pianist/composer Andrew Mancilla and, of course, Broadway vet Merwin Foard.

Cheers,

As read in a previous blog entry, Sue Matsuki reviews for Cabaret Hotline Online. She came to see “Twist of Fate,” the show I’m currently performing in for artist Kevin McMullan. Read the entire article here.

The back up singers: Adam West Hemming, Sierra Rein & Dara Seizman are all STARS in their own right but here they exercise restraint to be exceptionally good supports in this show with knock out vocals and harmonies. Special “props” also to the lovely Dara for her Gypsy Ballet … it was stunning.
