I’ve been a big fan of Jennifer Paige’s ever since her hit “Crush” climbed the charts in 1998. I’ve followed her career through three pop albums, a Christmas album, a podcast and a few EPs she put out with Coury Palermo. When I heard she was doing a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to independently…
Vanessa Carlton released her album Liberman a year ago and since then she’s spent some of that time touring to support it. She just released a new album, Liberman Live, with live versions of all the songs from Liberman except one. “Ascension” was left off but in it’s place she put a live version of…
Olivia Newton-John and Beth Nielsen Chapman have had long and prolific careers but I was late to the party to become a fan and this is my first introduction to Amy Sky. This trio has the perfect melding of harmony with positivity, whoever brought them together deserves a big thanks. In my gay opinion, they…
Just over a year ago Carly Rae Jepsen released her Emotion album which I loved and reviewed in an earlier post. Recently she released Emotion Side B which are songs that didn’t make the cut the first time. The original album had 12 tracks and there are deluxe editions with 15 and 17 tracks available…
Ingrid Michaelson is one of those artists that I was late to discover. I would hear her music randomly and think “that’s someone I have to check out” but I wouldn’t be near a computer to look her up. I could never remember to research her until her song “Girls Chase Boys” hit a couple…
This weekend I went to New York City with my sister, my niece, my great niece, and my nephew’s wife to see the New York Spectacular show at Radio City Music Hall (side note: what a great show and becoming a Rockette is now on my bucket list). My sister had an extra ticket and…
This past weekend my partner and I went to Arundel, Maine to the Vinegar Hill Music Theater to see Paula Cole perform a This Fire 20th anniversary concert. She wasn’t doing a lot of these shows so we wanted to make sure we caught at least one. It was a three hour drive so we…
In my gay opinion, it’s hard to find new musical divas to follow when radio stations play the same music by the same artists all the time. Every so often on Twitter an artist will randomly follow me and I’ll get an automated DM (“direct message” for those not familiar with twitology) asking me to…
I was interested in the group Alexander Jean’s new EP because of BC Jean’s involvement. I became a BC Jean fan after hearing her song “Just A Guy” on the radio in 2010. I’ve been following her career ever since. When I heard she teamed up with her fiancé Mark Ballas to form Alexander Jean…
I am a huge Cyndi Lauper fan but I’m not a big fan of country music. When Cyndi announced she had a new album coming out I was excited but apprehensive because it was going to be country. Cyndi released a standards album, At Last, in 2003 and a blues album, Memphis Blues, in 2010…
