GrooveLily Launches New Website

So one of my absolute FAVORITE bands and amazing writers/performers/maestros have launched their new site...

http://www.groovelily.com

Lots of new interactivity (blog spots and more) and the ability to order all of their music directly from them. It is a great new site and will reside on the right side here so you will always be able to find them!

For those of you who don't know GrooveLily they wrote STRIKING 12 and SLEEPING BEAUTY WAKES and are launching their newest musical LONG STORY SHORT, which opens this fall at City Theatre of Pittsburgh and TheatreWorks Palo Alto. They will release new songs every Wednesday from August 20 until opening night in Pittsburgh on October 29.

Enjoy,

Los Angeles Ovation Awards Winners, Groovelily, Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda

A huge congratulations go out to my friends in Groovelily, Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn. Their latest show, Sleeping Beauty Wakes, won the Ovation Award for World Premiere Musical and Brendan received the Ovation Award for Musical Direction.

These guys are truly the top maestros with piano and violin that I know - and they're smart. Their lyrics bear repeated listening and the hooks in their songs are infectious but sophisticated - not like your typical pop song that bounces around in your head for a week or two but then sickens you after too much exposure!

Their first musical that got them noticed at the NAMT festival was Striking Twelve, which had its off-Broadway premier last year. It is another smart, funny and touching show dynamically played out and performed by Valerie, Brendan and Gene Lewin (the third member of Groovelily). They are touring Striking Twelve for the holidays so check out their site to see if they will be near you. I'll watch them count down to midnight on New Year's Eve myself with Stephanie Fredricks and her mom, Judith. They'll be at the Zipper in NYC for that show.
