Indie Artist Erin Dickins Debut CD “Nice Girls” Founding Member of “The Manhattan Transfer”

Indie Artist Erin Dickins Debut CD “Nice Girls” is absolutely outstanding, its not surprising coming from the founding member of “The Manhattan Transfer”.   Erin’s voice is tranquil, soothing, sultry, and just plain awesome.  It’s an example of the beauty of music and it’s healing power.  Her style of music and method of delivery is what makes great music, legacy music. It’s wonderful to know that she’s returned to music to continue blessing the world, as she did when she founded “The Manhattan Transfer”.  Those that remember them can truly attest to this, and their approach to music just out of this world to say the least… 

Having recorded with a virtual who’s who of musical geniuses— from James Brown and James Taylor to Leonard Cohen and Talking Heads—Dickins quit the music business cold turkey. “I had not found my authentic voice as an artist, and it was time. I moved to Honolulu, as far away from New York as I could get,” she says. “It was there that I finally learned that what matters is the gift of music I have been given, and my willingness to share that gift.” 

Erin’s inspirational come back stems from giving back to those in need by collaborating  her talents in music and producing a show for Habitat for Humanity, a favored charitable organization. Working with 200 amateur performers on the show sparked Dickins’ creative juices for the first time in a long time. 

As the child of artistic parents—Dickins’ mother was a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall and her father an amateur jazz pianist—she was bound to return to her first love. Anchored by the single and video “Nice Girls Don’t Stay for Breakfast”—a remake of 1950’s starlet Julie London’s song—Dickins’ first solo album on Champagne Records was carefully crafted over a two-year process by a stellar group of renowned musicians including producer Jesse Frederick, pianist/ arranger Rob Mounsey (Natalie Cole, Elton John, Tony Bennett) and bassist David Finck (Harry Connick Jr., Rod Stewart).

So, sit back relax have a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine, enjoy some good conversation & music with “Erin Dickins”.

Portland Indie Artists “Nu Shooz Orchestra” Featuring “Pandora’s Box”

Special guest Portland Indie Artists “Nu Shooz Orchestra” Featuring their CD “Pandora’s Box”.  You will more than enjoy this extremely talented group Nu Shooz with Valerie Day beautiful vocalist & congas and John Smith guitarist, pianist, and Hammond B-3; they are so versatile and gifted.  More than two decades after their 1986 Top Ten Hit single, “I Can’t Wait,” took the world by storm, NU SHOOZ returns with a new album, “Pandora’s Box”, and a 10 piece orchestra Gil Evans would have loved. 

Formed in Portland, Oregon in the summer of 1979, their line-up has changed over time, but in all its various forms, they’ve always pushed the boundaries between pop, funk, and jazz. Now, with the release of Pandora’s Box, Portland’s favorite soul explorers take one giant leap for mankind with a brave new sound, combining their signature brand of funk with elements borrowed from Film Noir, ‘60s Spy Movies and even Tarzan.  Yes, Tarzan…

NU SHOOZ was Nominated for a “Best New Artist” Grammy award in 1987 and earned a Gold Record for the album “Poolside.” Their breakthrough hit, “I Can’t Wait” continues to be played on radio stations around the globe every 11 minutes. 

So, sit back relax have a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine, enjoy some good conversation & music, and so spread the news.  Plus it’s the middle of the week let’s slow things down for a moment…
