GREG PITTS
www.fineartamerica.com/profiles/greg-pitts.html
Born to a single parent family, Greg Pitts started out life at a disadvantage. Growing up without a father figure made life less than ideal. He did not meet his father until the age of 12. As a young teen, he exhibited artistic capabilities, however the lack of understanding and from his family lead to discouragement. He continued to strive to express himself artistically. He purchased his first camera on lay-a-way from a camera store in his hometown of Lima, Ohio.
His artistic eye and fashion sense while a senior in high school lead to him was offered admission to a prestigious fashion design school, but because of stereotypical attitudes, students at school would call him a nerd and at home no one would assist him in the application process, stating that that kind of stuff is for sissies. Discouraged, he graduated without any formal plans. Later, he joined the Army in order to provide for his soon to be born son.
Despite a difficult start in life, he continued to express his artistic side.
Greg Pitts abstract artwork has been compared to that of abstract impressionist artist Jackson Pollock. He was the featured artist of the month for February 2009 with Elements of Art and has been exhibited at Etra Fine Art Gallery and Ornare both in Miami, FL.

Septeto Nacional at Place of Miami!
09/02/10, TBA
The Place of Miami
833 Southwest 29th Ave
Miami FL, 33135
Legendary Cuban son group SEPTETO NACIONAL performs at The Place of Miami, featuring music from their new album “Sin Rumba no hay Son!” The album makes plain their continued excellence in “son habanero”, a hybrid style mixing the rural Afro-Cuban “son” with Havana’s urban “rumba” and “guaguancó”, which original founder Ignacio Piñeiro (1888–1969) brought to the band. Still heeding the call to “Echale Salsita” (“put some salsa on it”), the group’s fourth generation of players prove that “there’s no antiquarian dust on Septeto Nacional” (New York Times).

KRIS STARRY
www.starrynightphotography.net
Starry Night Photography was created in late 2009. Her forte is capturing impromptu moments of time, moments of love, and moments of joy. She prefers to maintain her distance to capture natural shots, but will be happy to gently guide you when another angle or better light would be more dramatic or flattering. Her second goal is for you to have fun, because she feels pictures don’t turn out well if you’re not having a good time. Her love of natural lighting leads her to use outdoor and other on-location settings, and she chooses her shooting locations to best match your personality. Let Kris Starry of Starry Night Photography capture and preserve your emotions and memories on your special occasion for not only your lifetime, but for those of generations to come.
EMILY PETERS

I’ve been designing Jewelry for over 11 years and opened Piaz Jewelry – a subsidiary of E Apparel – in 2009. Every exceptional and playful piece is handmade by me for remarkable women. When I design jewelry for Piaz, I gravitate toward a modern, frenetic, and striking aesthetic. The Earrings, Necklaces, and Bracelets are constructed from Fine Silver, Sterling Silver and 14K Gold Filled Wire and Chain, glass and metal beads, and Semi-Precious Stones.
Piaz aims to be a source of inspiration – known for its quality, trend-forward products, as well as its social responsibility. The company champions sustainable business practices. We produce according to customer demand, and we reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever possible. Some of the elements of the Piaz jewelry collections are reclaimed from other jewelry pieces. Each piece is delivered in a handmade bag stitched (by me) from vintage materials and shipped in recycled boxes.
Back to the 80s with ERUPTION
Sept. 18, 2010
9:00 p.m.
Transit Lounge
729 Southwest 1st Avenue, Miami, FL 33130
If you’ve ever been Hungry Like the Wolf and you know you won’t find a menu at the Breakfast Club, then you’re likely a fan of the ‘80s.
The decade of decadence brought us fluorescent fashions, flaunted teenage angst on the big screen and flung the city of Miami onto the international party scene. But what people remember most is the music.
Voted Best Band in Miami by the readers of the New Times, ERUPTION re-creates the sounds of the eighties with energy-filled, spot-on covers of the best alternative MTV classics of the era including U2, the Police, INXS, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, and more.
Whip it on over to Transit Lounge on Saturday, Sept. 18 for ERUPTION’s farewell to the summer show. Your favorite songs never sounded so good.

South Florida’s premier alt-reggae act The Resolvers are taking over Lake Worth’s Propaganda on Friday, September 10 with emerging opening acts Spred The Dub & Natural State. Four years into playing the South Florida reggae circuit, The Resolvers have begun evolving on every front. Adding a full horn section and multiple female harmonizers, the new 11-piece outfit captures the essence of the classic big-band reggae sound: natural acoustic percussion, deep bass grooves, worldly drum rhythms, tasty vintage keyboards and bluesy guitar licks accented by timely horn blasts, all while being blended with modern song craftsmanship to create their own familiar yet original take on world music.
Rooted by a core of five dedicated musicians including Dean Fishback (veteran keyboardist who has played with Inner Circle, Sugar Minot and Mikey Dread) and front man Ojay Smith (son of Jamaican legend Ernie Smith), The Resolvers are preparing to release a series of “double-sided singles” on disc and vinyl. The numbered limited-edition vinyl will feature art work commissioned specifically for each track, making each album a collector’s item. The Resolvers believe music is a basic human right; much like shelter, food and water, it should be available to all. Actualizing this mentality, each single will also be available as a FREE download on their soon-to-be-launched new website.

Maitardi Restaurant Presents “Noche Latinaâ€, A Brazilian Night With Diogo Oliveira And Batuke Samba Funk.
Thursday, August 19, from 9 to midnight
Mai Tardi, 163 NE 39th Street, Design District Miami
Bassist Diogo Oliveira brings his septet, Batuke Samba Funk, to Mai Tardi restaurant’s outdoor courtyard in the Design District on Thursday, August 19, from 9 to midnight. Party under the stars to some of the funkiest Brazilian jazz while enjoying a caipirinha with reasonably-priced Italian cuisine, all without a cover charge.
Batuke is the act of drumming on any surface, or with any object, that makes a sound. Recycled cans, plastic buckets and pieces of scrap metal have all been transformed into percussive instruments that enhance the musical atmosphere of this group established by Diogo Oliveira in 2008. The core of Batuke Samba Funk comprises four musicians based in Miami, Florida. The group offers a fusion of Brazilian rhythms including samba and samba rock with classic American funk. While the core group consists of bass, drums, keyboard and voice, the ensemble is joined by trombone, female vocals and Brazilian percussion when performing with their full 7-piece configuration. Bassist, composer and musical producer Diogo Oliveira is the creator of Batuke Samba Funk. He is one of the most recognized and accomplished Brazilian musicians working in South Florida. One of his recent musical productions, Braziian Voices Funky Jazz Show, was awarded “Best Show of the Year†by the Brazilian Press Awards in 2010. For part of the show Batuke will be accompanied by a batucada dancer provided by Kamileon Productions www.kamileonproductions.com.
Mai Tardi is an innovative Italian restaurant located at 163 NE 39th Street in the Design District. Its open courtyard provides a romantic setting for repasts ranging from tapas and pizzas to vegan dishes to rack of lamb roasted in their wood-burning oven. Dining Out magazine describes it as “northern Italian cuisine with Mediterranean overtones…a menu marked by intriguing elements like venison ravioli with Gorgonzola sauce and classic wood-fired pizza.â€

Smirnoff Ice and Univision Radio launch second summer concert series featuring latin music artists at Nikki Beach on Friday, August 6, 2010. Â The series kicks-off seaside at Nikki Beach with Grammy nominated reggaeton duo R.K.M & Ken-y.
Photographs taken by Anthony Jordon to see more of his work go to his facebook page, click here.
Smirnoff Ice Summer Concert Series presented by Univision Radio Featuring R.K.M & Ken-Y at Nikki Beach Miami
The Smirnoff Ice Summer Concert Series kicked-off last Friday, August 6, 2010 at Nikki Beach in Miami with dynamic reggaeton duo R.K.M & Ken-Y. The beachside party was an affair for the books, featuring Enrique Santos from Mix 98.3 as the night’s MC, DJ NIKOLAS on the turntables alongside The brpr Group’s resident TJ Manu, and of course R.K.M & Ken-Y fans who earned their way in to the exclusive concert through Univision Radio’s local station giveaways and @SmirnoffMiami Twitter Trivia Contests.
As promised, the first concert of the 2010 series was more than just the musical event of the summer; it was a social media frenzy that satisfied its Twitter, Foursquare, and Stickybits savvy public to the fullest. The brpr Group’s TJ Manu took over Nikki Beach, giving every Tweep on site a chance to share a shout-out on the big screen, while broadcasting Foursquare check-ins and prompting partiers to scan every Smirnoff Ice barcode on site. The night’s social media maestros delighted Stickybits enthusiasts and introduced newbies to the new craze of barcode scanning by temp tattooing concert-goers with the Smirnoff Ice barcode, allowing them to share their R.K.M & Ken-Y experience with other Smirnoff Ice drinkers from across the globe. “This evening was a prime example of how we can take social media offline and bring it, instead, to the front line,†says The brpr Group’s Social Media Curator, Jennifer Batchelor, “we used everything we had at our disposal to take the conversation ‘mobile’ which enabled us to instantly tap in to the crowd’s stream of consciousness, engaging the fans in the moment rather than waiting for the after-thought.â€
A first in Miami and new to the media world, Honorary Twitter Press Passes from The brpr Group were awarded to avid @SmirnoffMiami and @thebrprgroup followers as recognition of their outstanding social networking connectivity and continued support of the Twitterverse.
The crew from SocialBuzzTV was at the center of it all as they captured the night’s festivities on film, promising the most vivid recap of a night that will not likely be forgotten. Add this to the USTREAM feed shot right from the DJ/TJ booth and you would not have missed a beat. Additionally, favorite local photographers Marisa Matluck of NBC Miami and Anthony Jordon of The Miami New Times and Soul of Miami were on-site to capture the night’s debauchery with exclusive shots of R.K.M & Ken-Y and their ecstatic fans. The night was a celebration of the Grammy nominated duo’s escalating career as audience members danced to favorites like “Downâ€, which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, and radio sensations “Te Regalo Amores†and “Me Matas.â€

Come by and enjoy an atmosphere of fun and excitement. PLUS, A PORTION OF THE SALES FROM THE EVENING GOES TO SUPPORT THE ARTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA.
THE STATE OF
www.thestateofmusic.com
The State Of is the product of the marriage between Steph Taylor’s edgy piano/synth playing and Nabedi Osorio’s electronic-like live drumming. Their dark pop sensibility is born out of their hometown of Miami, FL and is reminiscent of artists ranging from the Bjork and the Eurythmics to Radiohead and the Cure. Taylor’s style of playing is often percussive and dark where Osorio’s drumming is melodic and when coupled, they create a dynamic sound larger than what’s expected out of two people.
“The State Of exemplifies that oxymoronic moment when something sparse becomes atmospheric – like the most electronic form of analog, or vice versa” -Broward New Times
“South Florida duo the State Of likes to keep pop tunes dark but upbeat. The ladies crank eerily pretty arrangements on the keys and back them with big, electroniclike live drums for a Tori Amos meets LCD Soundsystem effect.” -Tampa Bay Times
“The massive appeal of the State Of comes simply from variety” -Miami New Times
GUSTAVO RAMIREZ
www.facebook.com/pages/Gustavo-Ramirez/114359381795
I’m a 35 year old, mostly self taught visual artist (painter). I grew up in Orlando, Fl. and moved to Miami in 2001. My work mostly expresses and explores my unconscious mind in mostly automatic abstract techniques. I also like to make imagined and real portraits of people.
YAMEL MOLERIO
www.yamelmolerio.com
I was born in Havana, Cuba in 1971. I came to the U.S. in 1980 at the age of 9 during the Mariel boatlift. Since I could remember I’ve always been into art. As a kid, I remember being into drawing cartoons and even drawing anatomical posters for my mom who was a biology teacher. In high school, I started doing graffiti with my friends and it became a way of life during the late eighties. After I got into college I learned about contemporary artists, working with other media and art history. I also learned about adding concept and meaning to a work of art.
In my artwork, I deal with issues important to me by being comical at times instead of in your face political. I reject art styles or working in a specific style. I use imagery that ranges from cartoons to realistic portraiture. I want the message of the piece to be the most important thing. I want the viewer at first to be drawn to the piece and then to question why he/she was attracted to it. Maybe with a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork, the viewer will realize that popular culture has programmed us to think a certain way.

and a musical treat with magda!
After years of self-searching, Magda has come up with a sound that is true to her. “I write from experience. I like taking risks. I’ve loved and lost and loved again. It has always been worth it.†Her free-spirited, thought provoking outlook is reflected in the music she writes: a blend of soulful sounds and piercing lyrics with an edge. A California-born beach girl, she classifies her music as, “good for the soul.†If she were referring to the uplifting melodies that her soothing voice happily dances around, we’d say Magda’s music is, in fact, “good for the soul.†It makes you want to chill in the sun and relax all day.
Magda has been exposed to many worlds of music throughout her young age. She’s always appreciated the harmonies and head bopping sounds of alternative bands like NOFX, Nirvana and Live. She jokes, “As a tormented teen, Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple were my best friends.†Growing up, she became fascinated with soul artists, old and new. “I really got into Etta James, Eva Cassidy, Lauryn Hill and Pink. I have definitely been inspired by the pure soul of Al Green and the individuality of Outkast too, but I’ve always particularly been taken by strong women with big voices who break from the norm and aren’t afraid to speak their minds.†Magda’s respect for artists who have something to say is deeply layered within the lines and voice of her own music.
Raised in Los Angeles, Magda has been involved in the arts from a young age. She started with musical theater in elementary school and continued acting and singing throughout her years in high school and college. She has sung the National Anthem for numerous college sporting events and has played all over Southern California, from Santa Barbara to Santa Monica to headlining her own gig at the famed House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. She now resides in Miami, Florida, where she continues to write and perform.
magda will perform from 8:00 pm until midnight!
2 for 1 starts at 9pm and ends at 11pm!
reservations for dinner are recommended.

Bill Withers Tribute with Documentary Film “Still Billâ€
Featuring live music by The Kurt Wilson Band featuring Sunnie Wilson
Plus Special Performance by 2010 Grammy Award Nominee Eric Roberson
Saturday July 24, 2010
The Joseph Caleb Auditorium is located at 5400 NW 22nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33142 (305)636-2350 Tickets are $12.00 advance through Ticketmaster and The Caleb Box Office; and $20.00 at the door.
This information courtesy of JazzBluesFlorida.com
Prepare for explosions come Saturday, July 24, 2010, 7:00 p.m. when The Sunshine Jazz Organization presents this triple-header event featuring the acclaimed Bill Withers documentary, “Still Billâ€, brought back by popular demand to The Joseph Caleb Auditorium. Withers has sung his way into the hearts of millions worldwide. His ability to say – what so many feel – is uncanny. Bill Withers is mentioned in the same breath as the greats – Stevie, Marvin, Donny – yet none sing with the directness, write with the frankness, nor compare in articulating the truth with much sparseness. He is a singer and songwriter who has topped pop charts and received awards, has been covered by Barbara Streisand and looped by Dr. Dre, and continues to influence an entire generation of artists. Honors include Soul Train, Grammy Songwriters, ASCAP Rhythm & Soul – Heritage Award, West Virginia Music and Rhythm & Blues Foundation – Pioneer Award and more. He has also received Grammy Awards for “Ain’t No Sunshineâ€, “Lean On Meâ€, and “Just The Two of Usâ€. The profound honesty and sensitivity found in his timeless music has made Bill Withers one of America’s premier singer/songwriters, combining soulful warmth and a genuine, folksy feel with his immediately recognizable voice.
Preceding the film will be a concert by The Kurt Wilson Band featuring Sunnie Wilson performing some of Bill Withers’ award winning hits. Following the film will be a very special appearance by Grammy-nominated Indie artist Eric Roberson touring in support of his new cd release “Music Fan First†with his song “Dealingâ€, featuring Lalah Hathaway.
The purpose of this event is to present an evening of live, quality music plus a legendary artist’s life story, as well as to raise awareness of the value of music and its significance in American culture. For close to a quarter of a century The Sunshine Jazz Organization has stood in the forefront of promoting this unique and precious art form for the benefit of present and future generations.

Smirnoff Ice and Univision Radio Launch Second Summer Concert Series Featuring Latin Music Artists
Univision Radio and Smirnoff Ice launch their second Summer Concert Series in Miami featuring chart-topping Latin music artists, this time enlisting the social media savvy public relations and ad house hybrid The brpr Group, conveniently based here in Miami. This summer, the series kicks-off seaside at Nikki Beach with Grammy nominated reggaeton duo R.K.M & Ken-y.
R.K.M & Ken-y, both from Puerto Rico, got their start after being noticed by Omar Fernando and Raphy Pina, two reggaeton moguls who quickly signed the duo. Since then, R.K.M & Ken-y have been an unstoppable force in the industry and audience favorites among the Hispanic public. Their first hit single, “Down”, reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in 2006, and their album reached platinum status with over 600,000 copies sold internationally.
Like most Univision Radio events, the concert promises to be a social media frenzy, open only to contest winners who will have scored their passes by competing on several online platforms. R.K.M & Ken-y fans will have their chance at winning these free tickets by participating in trivia pop-quizzes on Twitter, local college campus “Barcodingâ€, which encourages students to add user-generated media content through the new and innovative social media retail network Stickybits, Foursquare check-ins mentioning Smirnoff Ice, and by broadcasting their inner “reggaetonero†via the Smirnoff Ice YouTube Channel and Facebook Fan Page. While Trivia champions and “Barcoders†will receive general admission passes to the hot summer concert, winning “reggaetoneros†will be awarded VIP entry, granting them access to the Smirnoff Ice Cooling Spot and exclusive concert after party. Winners of Twitter Trivia, or by any other virtual means, will be embarked upon a social media scavenger hunt using the aforementioned platforms to officially redeem their passes at an undisclosed location in Miami Beach.
The brpr Group’s resident TJ “Twitter Jockeyâ€, Manu Gabaldon, will be on the scene during this highly anticipated reggaeton extravaganza orchestrating the concert’s stream of consciousness while on the 1’s and 2.0’s, with help from SocialBuzz TV and USTREAM, making the concert especially interactive by live-streaming audience tweets, twit-pics, and fan shots on the big screen. “We love what we do because we’re constantly creating and striving to innovate the digital space. The opportunity to work with Univision Radio on the Smirnoff Summer Concert Series is the perfect storm for the pioneer,†says the brpr Group’s Social Media Curator, Jennifer Batchelor, “merging music, food & beverage, social media, radio, and video 3.0, while allowing us to engage with the most ‘social’ sect of all, Hispanics.

2010 Live-Aid Remade School of Rock Charity Event
July 30th, 2010, 7PM
Club Flavour
28985 McFarlane Road
Coconut Grove, FL
Website
School of Rock presents Live Aid Remade. A tribute to the historic 1985 concert/fundraiser that took place in London and Philadelphia, the show will feature selections from the Woodstock of the 80’s as it came to be known – that have truly stood the test the time.
How big was Live Aid? How about 70,000 + people in London and just under 100,000 people in Philadelphia big? How about big enough for Led Zeppelin to re-form? How about big enough that Mick Jagger performed and didn’t even headline? How big is that? The word is global.
Global. As in, Live Aid was a global jukebox where U2 and Madonna could rub shoulders with The Beach Boys and The Four Tops. Where Judas Priest could go on directly after Crosby, Stills, & Nash and Run DMC and Black Sabbath could play back to back. Where 80’s one-hit wonders like Billy Ocean + Rick Springfield could share the stage with Keith Richards and Tina Turner. Simply put, it was where musicians could put aside their egos and play for the enjoyment and the betterment of others.
I still can’t think of a better reason to rock. We hope you feel the same.
The 2010 Tour will hit Miami Friday, July 30th and will feature one of our own Miami School of Rock student graduate, Chris Bromley, on guitar.
Tickets for this event are available online.
Come out and support this great cause.

At the age of 18 a scholarship came from the prestigious Superior Institute of Arts (ISA), the most important University of Music in Latin America. His big professional opportunity came at age of 18, being hired to play with NG La Banda, one of the most acclaimed Cuban orchestras ever. Felipe funded his own Orchestra called Oni-Ache, traveling to Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1992 for a musical exchange program with the University of Sao Paulo and went on to live in Brazil for seven years.
It was later, in 2004 when Felipe joined the GRAMMY Award-winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba, recording his GRAMMY Award-nominated album “Paseo”, released by the prestigious Blue Note Records. Around this time he kept on performing for two years with the New Cuban Quartet all over the world. In 2006 he arranged and played on Ignacio Berroa’s new album “Codes”, also released by Blue Note Records and nominated for a GRAMMY as well. This led to performing with Mr. Berroa’s quartet in diverse tours.
Recently Felipe worked as a producer in Arturo Sandoval’s latest album “Rumba Palace”, which won a GRAMMY Award in 2008, being in charge of all the arrangement and composing. By the end of 2007 his first solo album “Dimensions”, recorded in Brazil, was released. This project incorporates his Afro-Cuban roots with strong influences of Jazz and Brazilian music. “I can assure you no other place in the world deserves my solo debut more. I really hope that everyone who in one way or another has followed and supported my music through all these years can enjoy this album and receive my sincere thanks through all my music.”

More Info
She was born and raised in Cali and obtained a degree in Professional Music of Berklee College of Music in Boston. We have seen her as an actress and heard her unique voice in many TV productions from Colombia. “La Vida Se Va†is Barrios’s first solo album. Last album she delivered was 2005 when she was half of the tropical/pop duo Bachá which was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award. This new album has a very clean and beautiful voice, fresh and updated sound based on the folkloric roots from Colombia. Barrios tells us stories of our day by day life, in this world with a lack of affection but this big desire to find the true love.

Nicholas Payton concert
Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus
3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314.
South Florida JAZZ welcomes arguably the most important trumpet player in jazz, Grammy-winner NICHOLAS PAYTON who is making only his third excursion into the area. Mr. Payton performed in 1998 and 2000 for the organization at the Hollywood Jazz Festival.
South Florida’s premier modern jazz organization is privileged to feature Mr. Payton and his band, as they come off a world tour. Payton is among the most influential artists in the modern jazz genre, and maintains his New Orleans feel and authenticity in the modern idiom. This concert takes place at the 500-seat Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314. Tickets are $35 ($25 for South Florida JAZZ members and $10 for students of any age with I.D.) and may be purchased from the Broward Center Box Office by calling 954.462.0222 in Broward County; also toll-free at 877-311-SHOW, as well as online at: southfloridajazz.org, the presenting organization’s official Web site.
Since 1994, when Nicholas Payton made his recording debut as a leader with From This Moment, the trumpeter has been lauded as a significant, top-tier voice in jazz. Even though he started out as a “young lion,†heralded as one of the new-generation guardians of the hard bop flame, Mr. Payton consistently committed himself to discovering his voice outside of the strict confines of that rearview mirror approach to the music. It was early on that curve that he performed for South Florida JAZZ in 1998 and again in 2001, dazzling the audiences with his pure tone and soul. With his huge, burnished tone and full command of trumpet history from Satchmo through Freddie Hubbard, Mr. Payton has firmly established himself as one of the premier jazz artists of our time.
While his jazz journey has taken him down many roads – from heritage artist to electric experimenter – the 35-year-old trumpeter has arrived at a new plateau of jazz maturity. “As a musician, as an artist, you’re always trying to zero in on the bull’s-eye as a means of becoming a better version of yourself… The approach and the ideas of my music have become more singular, more cohesive. I had no agenda in terms of a specific genre or style, only to be true to who I am now.â€
Born into a musical family and mentored by Ellis Marsalis at the University of New Orleans, Mr. Payton was well prepared to leap into the jazz fray when he emerged on the New York scene in the 1990s. He impressed Wynton Marsalis and was a regular in the early years of programming at Lincoln Center. Payton put his own spin on New Orleans-associated music. Over the next several years, Payton continued to hone his craft working with Hank Jones, Elvin Jones, and Ray Brown, and collected a Grammy with Doc Cheatham. In 2003 he boldly moved beyond the straight-ahead, mildly shocking the jazz world with his adventurous and exhilarating plugged-in band infused with elements of hip-hop, electronica, and effects-driven trumpeting.
This foray was transitory as he struggled with his role as torchbearer for the mainstream, fairly predictable, and somewhat stale jazz, while striving to carry on the experimentations of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Weather Report; even incorporating elements of R&B and soul. Mr. Payton says he is, “most solidly in a place where I’m coming to terms with who I am. I’ve weeded out those things that don’t feel right for me. I’m not out to try to impress and I’m not worried that what I play is going to upset some people. I want to write and play music that speaks for me and means something to me, that I feel passionate about.†He has found peace.
Grooves are central to his newest project. Mr. Payton states, “I want that dance element that was there at the roots of jazz. I feel a lot of jazz has gotten away from that legacy.†It is not a common sentiment, but not an invalid one, either.

Pontunes Tiki Bar and Marina
On Saturday, June 5th The Coffee House Gypsies (award winning rock band from Miami who won nine Status QuO Live Music Awards in 2008) are coming to Key Largo for a four hour-long boat-side concert at Pontunes Tiki Bar and Marina which will last from 5:00 PM till 9:00 PM.
The Miami Herald and Miami New Times both compared The Coffee House Gypsies to the likes of Fleetwood Mac and The Mamas and The Papas, calling them a “quintessential jam band” while music critics said things like “the music of the Coffee House Gypsies from the Southern tip of Florida is as magical as their name implies.” The band also won the 2009 award for “Best Pop Band” at the South Florida QOOL Shows Awards.
The Largo show on Saturday promises to feature songs from The Gypsies previous two LP releases, as well as some fan favorites from their latest album “The Artist.” The performance will also sport some new songs expected to be on the new upcoming CHG album, and there will surely be some of the typical gypsy-jamming and improvising on stage as well. The band also boasts a collection of 60 covers that they call pull from during the show. The show is admission free and all ages are welcome to attend.

Jazz singer Marion Cowings Performs June 11 and 12 at Lincoln Road’s Upstairs at Van Dyke
World-renowned Jazz singer Marion Cowings will perform.
Upstairs at Van Dyke, 846 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Friday, June 11, 2010 and Saturday, June 12 from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m.
Marion Cowings, world-renowned Jazz singer, is set to perform June 11 and 12 at Lincoln Road’s The Upstairs at Van Dyke. Cowings, a native New Yorker, is best known for his considerable range and smooth baritone voice. For decades he has been delighting audiences around the world including venues such as Blue Note, Village Vanguard, and Lincoln Center as well as many prestigious venues abroad. New York Times writer Jon Pareles once penned that Cowings sounded like a latter-day Frank Sinatra which may be attributed to his attendance at the now famous LaGuardia High School where he was chosen to perform as a solo vocalist with the New York Philharmonic. Cowings’ newest CD features performances with Hank Jones and Frank Weiss.
Upstairs at Van Dyke is a live music lounge and event space on the second floor of the historic Van Dyke Café overlooking Lincoln Road. Known for its warm and welcoming environment, the venue has made a name for itself by while playing host to the Jazz music tradition.

The refurbished space boasts a full-service bar, state of the art sound system, grand piano and is staffed by an acoustic engineer.

Leo Casino Concert to benefit the people of Haiti
Over the years, Leo has become increasingly interested in giving back. He’s lectured on race relations at colleges around the country and has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Mallory College. He has entertained and raised funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. His CD, “Better Days,” is dedicated to those that lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and now Leo is focused on helping the people of Haiti in their recovery from the devastating January 2010 earthquake.
Leo composed 30 original songs for his latest CD, “Haiti Will Rise,” which are also featured on the soundtrack of his film with the same title.
Mr. Casino is donating his proceeds from this concert towards building a new hospital in Haiti. Read more about this project at http://worldclassorchestra.org

Free Admission. Suggested donation $10
At The Awarehouse
550 Northwest 29th Street, Miami, FL 33127
More Info.
The work of songwriter and singer Ramon MejÃa (PERROZOMPOPO) is hugely marked by the recent history of Nicaragua. War, poverty, dictatorship, Church, the lack of education, friends, love, disappointment, and many other concepts and experiences are mixed with rock, melodic ballads, rap and reggae in a clear vindictive music. Perrozompopo, brother of the singer Luis Enrique, performs a urban Latin American music that talks about the stories of people that crowd the streets of many impoverished Central American cities.
DJ SPAM blends improvisational electronic elements and turntables with latin, funk, hip hop and dub to create what he calls an electronic descarga. It’s not a known genre. It’s hard to describe. It attracts many types of people. But as you look out and see people dancing salsa, next to break-dancers, and festival-goers driving for hours to catch a show – you know something very special is going on.

Friday, May 28, 2010 Tune into 88.9 WDNA / WDNA.ORG for Sound Theory Live with Stokeswood – 7 – 8 p.m
Miami is now home to Atlanta’s hottest electroacoustic band, Stokeswood. The group will push their deeply layered sound into the realm of dance-beat-laden, synthesized rock with live performances every month in the Magic City. The band’s Miami residency began at The Florida Room at the Delano in March 2010 and will continue each month at many of the city’s diverse venues. Stokeswood’s ultra-modern vibe compliments the Miami nightlife experience. This synergy is set to expose the city to a cutting-edge sound and augment its already vibrant live music scene.
About Stokeswood:
Atlanta-based Stokeswood’s independently released album, Carassia, is like a sonic excursion between the lines of a poet’s story-telling prowess. Thoughtful introspection on the human condition is amplified and challenged by the layered accents of electroacoustic guitars, pianos, synths, strings and drums. The soulful and captivating vocals of Adam Patterson carry each melody flawlessly through the rhythms and musical harmonies of each track. From start to finish, the album sparkles with intelligent musicality and impressive originality that sets Stokeswood apart. The band is currently recording its second studio album slated to debut in Fall 2010.
“Stokeswood is a marvel to watch, as they switch between instruments, giving up their spot on keys, synths and guitar like a game of musical chairs, all the while keeping up an irresistible, danceable backbone to the imaginative melodies and powerhouse, gut-wrenching vocals of Adam Patterson. The band undeniably owns the room with their unique unpredictable sound, expressive beats and high- energy presence. The new songs were infused with confidence in a sound that can only really be called Stokeswood’s.” – Performer Mag

Dhrupad style of vocal is 5000 years old tradition of Indian classical music, and the Gundecha Brothers are amongst the most respected and active vocal performers of the Dagar tradition of Dhrupad. They studied under the eminent gurus, Zia Mohiuddin and Zia Fariduddin Dagar and Srikant Mishra.
Umakant and Ramakant possess gifted voices with strong lower registers.
The Brothers have worked to expand the Dhrupad repertoire by incorporating texts by Hindi poets, such as Tulsidas, Padmakar and Nirala; they are probably the most recorded Dhrupad singers in India. The Gundecha Brothers have come to be regarded as a third force, on par with the senior and junior Dagars. Akhilesh Gundecha learned pakhawaj (percussion) playing from Shrikant Mishra and Raja Chhatrapati Singh JuDeo. He has also received scholarships from Ustad Allauddin Khan Sangeet Academy, Bhopal, and the government of India.

The event takes place on the second floor at 626 South Miami Avenue in Miami, doors open at 8:30 PM.
All-you-can-eat BBQ rib dinners will be served for just $10.99.

Last December, at 11.8 percent, the Florida unemployment rate was the highest it had ever been since 1975: up 0.3 percent from November and a whopping 4.2 percent from December 2008. The Examiner referred to Miami-Dade as “one of the places most affected by the nation’s economic downturn.†Serving the South Florida community since 1960, Camillus House is a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian services to men, women and children who are poor and homeless. Camillus offers a full continuum of services that includes food, shelter, housing, rehabilitative treatment, and health care. Each service is carried out with the deeply held belief that every human being deserves love, respect and an opportunity to live a dignified life.
Active in Miami’s live music scene since 1997 they have performed in New York City and all over South Florida. They were the only band to-date to win nine Status QuO South Florida Live Music Awards with nominations in ten categories. In 2009 South Florida’s Sun Sentinnel called them “a band of nomads who keep moving to different musical genres” and The Miami Herald said “CHG’s sound is reminiscent of The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and The Mamas and the Papas,” referring to them as “a quintessential jam band.†Miami New Times said “Fans of Fleetwood Mac, the Mamas and the Papas, and 97.3 FM should dig this group without question. Their harmonies, both vocal and instrumental, are soothing and give a generally upbeat feel”
Band music, free downloads, and online videos are available at: www.CoffeeHouseGypsies.com
Camillus House is the largest and most comprehensive provider of humanitarian services to persons who are poor and homeless in South Florida. Established in 1960 to meet the needs of Cuban exiles, Camillus has grown from a small soup kitchen into a full service agency offering comprehensive services countywide. Today, Camillus serves more than 12,000 persons each year at 16 locations throughout the County, and each night, more than 1,100 persons rest safely under a Camillus roof. The services offered by Camillus House and sister agency, Camillus Health Concern, include housing, primary health care, behavioral health treatment, employment services, and basic emergency services such as food, clothing, shelter and companionship. Camillus’s mission is to serve the hardest-to reach and poorest members of the community by giving them the hope and support they need to begin the long and often difficult transition to a new life and ultimate self-sufficiency.
Last year Camillus provided: 600,000 free meals. 4,700 patients quality health care through Camillus Health Concern. 110 persons substance abuse & mental health treatment (8 of every 10 successfully graduated). 280 persons successfully placed in gainful employment. A new Courtyard program which provided 740 street homeless men and women food, clothing, medical care, security services as well as pathways into housing, treatment and job placement to break the cycle.

Tobacco Road is Miami’s oldest bar. It has survived hurricanes and prohibition and seen eras of presidents dating back to William Howard Taft. Throughout its 96+ year history, artists like George Clinton and Koko Taylor have made appearances at the local venue, turning it into ‘the place where local legend and history meet live music’. Most recently Miami’s Cuban singer and icon, Gloria Estefan, was seen celebrating her birthday at The Road. And the upstairs Cabaret (where the concert will take place) is rumored to have once been the favorite hangout of gangster Al Capone and his associates.

Second annual event featuring diverse genres of new music will take place November 12-14 as key part of “Live Music Month in Miamiâ€
MMF partners include Miami New Times, The State of Florida Film & Entertainment Office, Miami-Dade County Office of Cultural Affairs, The City of Miami Office of Cultural Affairs, The Miami-Dade Office of Film and Entertainment, The Miami Downtown Development Authority, The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, FilMiami
Organizers of the second annual Miami Music Festival will present more than 500 performances by new and developing artists in an expanded roster of venues throughout the city. The showcase will take place November 12-14 during the newly designated “Live Music Month in Miami†and will include two daytime sessions on five stages in Bayfront Park and a show at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
A music industry and artists’ conference will take place at the Hyatt Regency Miami, the festival’s headquarters hotel, Friday, November 12, and Saturday, November 13. Musicians may submit showcase applications, register for the conference, and reserve discounted stays at the Hyatt at miamimusicfestival.org beginning May 15.
Partners include Miami New Times, The State of Florida Film & Entertainment Office, Miami-Dade County Office of Cultural Affairs, The City of Miami Office of Cultural Affairs, The Miami-Dade Office of Film and Entertainment, The Miami Downtown Development Authority, The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, and FilMiami. The Miami Music Festival and Conference is also produced in cooperation with the Recording Academy, The Urban Network, and performing rights organizations ASCAP, BMI, and SoundExchange.
Performing at showcase festivals has become important for independent musicians who are using new media tools to produce, distribute and market their own music in an effort to reach broad audiences and raise awareness among music industry executives. Events such as the MMF attract discerning audiences to hear new acts or new music from established acts. South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, is just one example of a gathering that has provided opportunities to network with other artists and gain distribution opportunities.
“The MMF will again present an amazing array of rock, alternative, and singer/songwriter acts but will feature in equal measure Latin, urban, Caribbean, and jazz artists,†said the festival’s CEO, Irwin Kornfeld. “Miami’s live music scene continues to develop and grow, and the MMF is growing with it.â€
Said Miami New Times publisher Kevin Thornburg: “As the most authoritative voice in the marketplace for the live music scene, we are honored to be a part of the Miami Music Festival. Miami already hosts an array of world-class film, art, food, and electronic music events, and the only missing piece was a live music event like the MMF.â€
“The development of Miami’s live music community is important to the vibrancy of this city. Our great clubs and restaurants are the reason why so many people want to visit and live here, and live music is again becoming one of their best attractions. This is why our organization and so many others here have been supporting the growth of The Miami Music Festival. We welcome the festival’s artists, sponsors and members of the world’s music industry and look forward to offering them Downtown Miami’s warmest hospitality,†said Alyce Robertson, Executive Director of the Miami Downtown Development Authority.
The inaugural MMF in December 2009 attracted more than 18,000 attendees to see 270 acts in 75 shows on 25 stages. Here is some feedback from last year’s participants:
“I have been managing bands for eight years and brought SELBY to your festival. We had a great experience with the venues, the conference, and your MMF Staff. Because of their appearance, NBC has asked SELBY to perform at Relay for Life in February and to perform again on the NBC Miami 6 morning show. Thank you, MMF! The conference was well-thought-out, as so many aspects of the industry were covered — the A&R and publishing segments were standouts. We were well informed and left with the tools and connections promised. Thank you for a great experience, and we hope to be back @ MMF next year!†— Annie Robinson, CEO of Cobalt Management, for SELBY
“After our MMF show, a member of Diddy’s camp introduced himself and booked us on the spot for Diddy’s Superbowl party for music industry insiders and celebrities!†— the Basiqs
“Our band had a great time and appreciate all your efforts in making Miami Music Festival a great success. From the D’Addario Stage to the Rolling Stone Showcase, it was terrific. We would love to come back for Miami Music Fest 2010†— the Adam Lasher Band
“Thanks for having us out for the MMF 2009. We appreciated the support. MMF Music conference was especially helpful. We attended many panels and received incredible knowledge. We look forward to MMF 2010. Thank you!†— La Paz
“First off, let me say how PROUD I am that the MMF was even thought about! I left South Florida in an attempt to get my music heard. I have been singing back-up for Joss Stone for six years. I was so excited to learn of this conference. I want to thank the organizers of this event for showing what South Florida has to offer. I also need to say what a BRILLIANT idea it was to utilize different venues so that these independent artists can see what venues are out there and give the venue owners a chance to see what quality artists they can have play there. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the MMF, and I hope to be involved with MMF again. Thank you for the opportunity!†— Antonia Jenae
Conference speakers and festival sponsors will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Miami International Piano Festival is celebrating its 13th Season in 2010. The May Discovery Series is held at the intimate Lincoln Theater (home of the New World Symphony) on Miami Beach. The Series opens with a sure crowd-pleaser that features works by two composers who are both celebrating 200 year anniversaries in 2010: Chopin and Schumann. To pay tribute to these prolific composers of the Romantic period, the Festival will present four fantastic pianists in one evening.
Kemal Gekic and Misha Dacic both hail from former-Yugoslavia and for this program Gekic will perform provocative Chopin selections (including Scherzo Op. 20 and Polonaise Op. 53) and Dacic tackles Schumann’s tour de force, “Humoresque.” Russian pianist Ilya Itin will offer his refined interpretation of several works by Chopin such as Fantaise in F minor and Waltz Op. 34 and Cuban legend, Jorge Luis Prats presents Schumann’s delightfully varied “Symphonic Etudes.” With so much talent and exquisite repertoire sharing the stage on one evening, this concert will likely run a bit longer than most.
On Friday, May 14th, the Festival is pleased to present the South Florida concert debut of Ran Jia (China). At twenty, Ms. Jia is already regarded as a striking musician with unusual natural abilities. Tan Dun hailed her a “piano poet with dramatic skill in music making.” Her program will feature four Sonatas by Scarlatti, Shubert’s Sonata in A minor Op. 42 and Le Tombeau de Couperin by Ravel.
The popular “Prodigies and Masters of Tomorrow” matinee concert on Saturday, May 15th will see the return of the astounding Aristo Sham (Hong Kong), now 14 years old. One could almost hear the jaws dropping at Aristo’s South Florida debut at the Festival last May. His current program will feature works by Scarlatti, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Barber and Albeniz. Families with children are encouraged to attend this concert which seeks to inspire the next generation of classical music lovers.
On Saturday evening, Spanish pianist, Claudio Martinez-Mehner will make his Florida debut. Winner of numerous prizes, Mehner recently resumed his career as a solo artist and has a respected reputation as a teacher and chamber musician. His Festival program will include Beethoven Sonata Op. 109, Schumann’s Sonata Op/ 14 “Concerto without Orchestra” as well as works by Janacek and Debussy.
This year’s grand finale and closing night “Chamber Music Extravaganza” will welcome Igor Gruppman back to South Florida. Many remember Mr. Gruppman as the Concert Master of the Florida Philharmonic and at present, he is artistic director of the Concerto Rotterdam chamber orchestra and concertmaster of the Rotterdam Philharmonic. He will be joined by his wife, violinist/violist, Vesna Gruppman who teaches at the Rotterdam Conservatory in the Netherlands. Joining the Gruppmans will be pianists Ilya Itin (Russia) and Jorge Luis Prats (Cuba) as well as a special guest cellist. The program will include Schumann’s Fantasy Pieces Op. 73 and a special String Quintet transcription of Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Rounding out the program will be selections by Brahms including the Piano Quartet in G minor Op. 25.
All concerts start at 8:00 p.m. except for the Saturday Matinee “Prodigies” program which begins at 2:00 p.m. A series of pre-concert Lectures and Master Classes are planned as part of the 2010 Miami International Piano Festival. The following programs are FREE and open to the public:
Friday, May 14th, 2010. 7:00 p.m. PANEL DISCUSSION: Artists and their representatives engage in a lively discussion about the challenges facing artists today, what steps are required for their continued success, how to avoid failing and also why so many have lost the drive, faith and motivation to continue concertizing.
Saturday, May 15th, 2010. 7:00 p.m. LECTURE: Frank Cooper, Research Professor of Music from the University of Miami What makes a musical personality? There are traits which distinguish musicians from the average woman or man, and traits which distinguish one musician from another. This lecture explores the characteristics that set composers and performers apart from all others, allowing for great esthetic achievements and for all too human failures.
Sunday, May 16th, 2010 7:00 p.m. FILM: “The World’s Greatest Musical Prodigies.” A three-part documentary produced by Britain’s Channel 4 Television, which is currently being distributed by American Public Television. Episode 1: Alex Prior travels to Miami at the invitation of renowned prodigy-hunter Giselle Brodsky, who runs the Miami International Piano Festival. Giselle has selected five of America’s most gifted young musicians, who have flown in from all corners of the States to audition for Alex.

Roger Waters was a primary creative force in Pink Floyd from 1965 to 1983. Pink Floyd’s recordings were moderately successful through 1972. But The Dark Side of the Moon (March 1973), for which Waters wrote all the lyrics and some of the music, was a commercial breakthrough that became one of the most successful albums in rock history. Following the release of The Final Cut, Pink Floyd broke up and its members launched solo careers. Waters re-emerged with The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (April 1984), which went gold. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, Waters organized an all-star performance of The Wall in Berlin on July 21, 1990. It was filmed and recorded, resulting in the album The Wall: Live in Berlin (September 1990).

The Kampong Botanical Garden in Coconut Grove concludes the first season of its Moonlight jazz concerts with South Florida jazz legend Joe Donato at the new K Lounge. Donato’s style and flair with the saxophone and other instruments make him a charismatic performer who lights up the stage with the class and style reminiscent of Big Band days.
Becoming known as Miami’s newest upscale venue for fine jazz and live music, The Kampong transforms itself into the tropical ultra-chic K Lounge for the evening.
“The Kampong’s ‘K Lounge’ is one of the most enjoyable listening experiences in Miami,†says renowned jazz pianist Shelly Berg, Dean of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. “When you combine the incomparable atmosphere of the Kampong, the music of great artists, the wonderful acoustics of the venue, and the intimacy of the experience, it adds up to a very special eveningâ€.
Series sponsors are Steinway & Sons and GREY GOOSE Vodka. Three seating categories are available, and all ticket prices include cocktails courtesy of GREY GOOSE Vodka. Guests seated in the prime K Lounge seating area are treated to a very special GREY GOOSE tableside “mixology†experience featuring custom-made artisanal cocktails.
K Lounge Seating: $ 100 – Prime Lounge seating including tableside mixology
Plumeria Seating: $ 90 – Cabaret Tables with barstools
Lotus Seating: $ 50 – individual seats

“Motivational Music Night for the Kids” is going to be a very cool night of live music at the newly renovated Grand Beach Hotel at 4835 Collins Avenue. The event is a fund raiser for the The Motivational Edge’s summer music programs, of which Musical Missionary will hopefully play a part.
The Motivational Edge is one of Musical Missionary’s key partners. It is together with TME that Musical Missionary will be able to design and implement our own youth music programs as opposed to simply sponsoring kids in other programs. It will be a milestone for Musical Missionary to start its own youth music program, which can happen this summer with all of your support. With as little as $500, we can have our own summer class of 3 or 4 students learning how to play the keyboard and introduce them to the world of digital recording.
The more Musical Missionary supporters who come out to this event, the more money we will raise for our own youth music program this summer. Tickets are $35, which gets you dinner, 2 drinks and 4 hours of some of Miami’s best live music. There will also be cool items up for auction like hotel and cruise packages, sports memorabilia and a cash pot. A Porsche Boxster S will also be raffled off.
MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC NIGHT FOR THE KIDS 2010
Brought to you by The Motivational Edge and its non profit partners, S.U.C.S.E.S. Foundation and Nina’s Kids
Join us on May 14th 2010 and learn how to enter and win a brand new 2010 Porsche Boxster S compliments of the Danielle DeMarzo Foundation.
Come join us Friday, May 14th, 6pm-11pm at the exquisite Grand Beach Hotel on Miami Beach to support The Motivational Edge’s summer programs for underprivileged children, S.U.C.S.E.S. Foundation and Nina’s Kids. Prepare yourself for a night of exceptional musical talents as they perform under the stars with you as our guest enjoying delicious foods, beverages, specialty drinks and many more surprises! Throughout the evening you will be inspired with the musical sounds presented by students and by local superstars such as Cleaveland Jones, Local 34, Elastic Bond, Komakozie, Juan Turros of Suénalo and many more. Musical genres will range from Ska to Latin Rock and everything in between. The music will be non-stop and so will the fun and excitement! Get ready for our one of a kind Concert Fundraiser, Motivational Music Night for the Kids 2010!
You will enjoy a complimentary and savory blend of Italian and Latin food prepared by A La Fusion Catering and 2 Drink Tickets for every guest to enjoy at any time until 11pm*

Matt “Guitar” Murphy
Big Dawgs 2
7357 Davie Road Ext., Davie FL 33024
$5, 7pm, May 12, 2010
Backed up by JC Crossfire Band & One Night Stan’s horn section The Hollywood Horns
Info provided by www.JazzBluesFlorida.com
Murphy has been living in South Miami since 2003 while recuperating in semi-retirement. In 2008 Tim O’Donnell from The Nouveaux Honkies coaxed Matt out to perform at a festival in Fellsmere, Florida. Since then Matt has performed with TNH at many venues throughout South Florida. O’Donnell’s label, Bluzpik Rekerdz, stepped up to put a booking agent and management in place and starting taping a Matt Murphy documentary which will finish filming at the Daytona Blues Festival on October 9, 2010.
Bluzpik President and Director of Artist Relations Leo Gale states, “It has been quite a unique experience working with a living legend and old school guitarist. There are always plenty of Blues Brothers fans at the shows and that is fun. But the real thrill for me is to watch the guitarists and other musicians in the crowd stand in awe with their mouths open. Matt has influenced generations of guitarists from Hubert Sumlin in the 50’s and Jeff Beck in the 60’s to future stars on the way up like Albert Castiglia and Tim O’Donnell. Mr. Murphy is healthy again, playing tremendously, looking forward to performing at big festivals and getting back into the studio.”
Known by millions from his role as guitarist in the smash movie “The Blues Brothersâ€, Matt “Guitar†Murphy is doing a final show locally before completing his comeback at the Chicago Blues Festival in June with his former band mate James Cotton. Matt is performing at major Blues Festivals this summer and fall for the first time since suffering a stroke in the early part of the decade. He will be performing with the James Cotton Band, The Legends Band featuring Pine Top Perkins, Hubert Sumlin and Willie “Big “ Eyes, and his Florida based band The Nouveaux Honkies over the summer and into 2011.
The May 12th show will kick off @ 8PM at Big Dawgs 2, 7357 Davie Road Extension in Davie Florida.

PREFUSE 73 BIO
“It’s hard to think of a name that carries as much weight in both hip-hop and avant-rock circles as Prefuse 73, who in the past year alone has been asked to remix TV On The Radio, Pelican, BLK JKS and Cornelius, not to mention his early collaborations with School of Seven Bells and Battles. These interactions have clearly helped to shape the evolving Prefuse 73 sonic aesthetic, which has expanded to include Herren’s twisted visions of prog-rock, “machine funk†and global psychedelia.
-Warp Records 2009
Producer Prefuse 73 (Scott Herren), also active as post-rocker Savath & Savalas, Miami-born, Atlanta-raised and Barcelona-resident, heralded laptop-based hip-hop with Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives (2001), a tour de force of fractured, warped, incoherent stream of consciousness that mixed glitch music, deconstructed vocals and jazz patterns.

Live performance by Agape feat Nadia Harris
Went to see Broadsword at the Carnival Studio at the Adrienne Arsht Center on Saturday, May 1st. Â This was an awesome show! The acting, the writing and the music were all really good. Â This being at the Carnival Studio it is very intimate and you really feel like you are in the basement with the actors, like you are peeking on a little bit of their life. Â The final music performance is awesome, Â I really wished I had a lighter to wave for an encore. Â If you have an free evening this week I would suggest heading over to the Arsht Center and seeing Broadsword, this is one you don’t want to miss.
Broadsword will run Sunday, May 2nd, and then Thursday – Sunday, May 6th – 9th (two shows on Saturday).

Miami Project Hip Hop
This evening will feature excerpts of work by three of the most provocative solo Hip Hop theater artists in Miami. Previously commissioned by Miami Light Project as part of Here & Now 2008, Rudi Goblen’s Insanity Isn’t is a dance and spoken word whirlwind of 9 to 5 mania. Marking the first performance in Florida, Audelco award winner Summer Hill Seven’s Shakespeare N. Haarlem is about a poet sentenced to death for the new crime of lyrical terrorism. Fresh off a successful London tour, Meshaun Lebrone’s award winning Right To Remain is a glimpse into late rapper Tupac Shakur’s internal struggle with race, power, fame and infamy.

Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Artistic Director Ilisa Rosal, and company singer/guitarist Paco Fonta, will present a lecture/demonstration on the Jewish Roots of Flamenco, as one of many offerings of the Guava Rugelach Festival at Temple Israel of Greater Miami.
A brief history of the development of the art of Flamenco and the influences that Jewish music and the Jewish experience in Spain had on the art form will be discussed, with examples of the music and vocals to illustrate.
PACO FONTA * SINGER AND GUITARIST
Paco Fonta met Ballet Flamenco Director Ilisa Rosal in Madrid in the early 1980’s when they worked together at tablaos and festivals for several years.
When Ms. Rosal founded Ballet Flamenco La Rosa in 1985, Paco Fonta was under contract to a local flamenco club, and he joined the company. They have worked together ever since on the many interesting projects the company has produced and created a great following for the high quality and pure excitement and beauty of their work.
Mr. Fonta is a rare talent in that he has mastery of both the guitar and singing, and his performances give the public a unique and valuable insight into this style of music. Mr. Fonta is in demand as a singer and guitarist for Flamenco companies throughout the U.S., and has started his own group Siempre Flamenco.

Passion Pit with Tokyo Police Club
Sunday, June 13
The Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater
Buy Tickets
http://www.passionpitmusic.com
We’ve been away from home long enough– and to celebrate our return to the United States, we’re going to try and see as much of it as we can, as quickly as we can!
We’ll be touring the U.S. for the entire month of June, from New York to California and (almost) everywhere in between. And even better, our pals in Tokyo Police Club will be on board for most dates.
Redemption. Paranoia. Guilt. And brief glimpses of a better tomorrow, all cloaked in pop hooks that truly help the medicine go down.
What is this? Another lost LP from Brian Wilson’s sandbox phase? If only things were that simple. What we’re really alluding to here is Passion Pit’s first proper full-length, Manners, a bird-flipping break from the blogosphere by a 21 year old with much more on his manic mind than girls, girls, girls. You know, important matters, like the end of the world and learning to love someone other than the man in the mirror.
That’s the thing people missed about Passion Pit’s debut EP, Chunk of Change. While it was originally meant as a Valentine’s Day gift for a girlfriend who “put up with†frontman Michael Angelakos, that detail’s only half of a story that isn’t so cuddly when you consider the circumstances.
