singer/songwriter BRENDA EVANS)

 

 

 

 

 

 





ROBERT URBAN

With 3 original CD releases to his credit, this Fairfield County born singer/songwriter/producer/recording engineer owns & operates his own Manhattan-based music production company - URBAN PRODUCTIONS. Winner of 2 OUTMUSIC 2001 "OMA" Awards, nominated for a 2001 INDEPENDENT MUSIC "IMA" Award, and named one of 10 important new voices in modern rock by PROGRESSION Rock Magazine.

JEREMY BLUE

Performing from Manhattan to Massachusetts, from Connecticut to Highland New York, Blue's music is finding a home in Northeastern USA. Jeremy has written both lyrics and music for most material, yet also enjoys putting original music to the text of great writers like Langston Hughes and William Shakespeare, as well as freshly interpreting well-known songs from the 20's and 30's.

Some self-initiated “spiritual homework” led Jeremy to founding DreamBorn Productions in Pawling, NY. DreamBorn is currently preparing Blue's first full-length release, Embracing This. The recording, featuring ten original songs, as well as a blues/ballad rendition of “If I Only Had a Brain,” will be available this Spring.

Jeremy has been welcome by a diversity of audiences. Perhaps Aynsley Vandenbroucke, founder of Greenwich Village's GATHERING GROUP, understands why. She writes, “Jeremy Blue is a true performer... the perfect combination of raw energy and immaculate technique.”




BRENDA EVANS


Brenda was chosen as a 1997 New Folk finalist at the prestigious KERRVILLE FOLK FESTIVAL. Additionally, she's been a featured performer at major folk venues all throughout Connecticut & Massachussetts. In 1998, Brenda released her first CD, "waiting here for you".

- "This singer writes intriguing acoustic-pop songs, and delivers them in a smooth, soothing style. I can attest to the fact that she's able to deliver the goods on stage, too!" - MIKE HORYCZUN, WPKN RADIO, BRIDGEPORT, CT
