New CD release! Win a FREE CD.

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Hi everyone – it’s finally gorgeous spring weather here in NYC, and I’m so glad to have some new music clips for you to listen to. One of my most dedicated clients, The UMass Dynamics, have just released their sophomore effort, Love Games. Yours truly created 7 of the arrangements on the album and am literally bouncing off the walls with excitement to have everyone hear them. The Dynamics were gracious enough to let me add the sound clips to my page, and you should definitely pick up a copy of their album here. Please let me know what you think of the arrangements; here are some samples.

I Want You Back
Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
Runaway
Everybody
Save The Last Dance
Because
You Get What You Give

AND – as a contest; a randomly selected person who e-mails me after listening to the arrangements with feedback about any/all of the songs (positive feedback and criticisms both welcome!) will win a FREE copy of their CD! Your odds are pretty good; I don’t have thousands of subscribers to this site. :)

Send me feedback with “Dynamics” in the subject line to info @ nycacappella dot com. The contest ends April 30th!

New Clients, New Arrangements, New CD!

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Hi everyone – I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog posting front, due to busy days with my daughter and busy nights working on arrangements and everything else I don’t have time to do during the day. A new client joined the NYC A Cappella roster:

Lincoln Southeast High School in Nebraska

I’m loving that my clients are requesting some fantastic customized arrangements. Luckily for me, everyone seems to be picking great songs that I happen to love even before I start arranging them. In the last few weeks I’ve arranged a Guster song, one by the Scissor Sisters, a Mika track, and a classic Journey medley. It doesn’t get any better than that!

In terms of a new CD, one of my favorite groups, the UMass Dynamics, is preparing for the release of their sophomore effort, “Love Games”. It’ll be coming out in late April and I’ve had the pleasure of listening to some early mixes. I’ve arranged 7 of the tracks on the CD and am like the proud parent to this group – they’ve truly flourished in the last few years and this album will hopefully have the a cappella community talking. You can order their album here. And no – I don’t get a single penny from their sales, so I’m touting the album simply because everyone’s going to love it.
