\n\n Th is pivotal Historic Restoration Fund grant from the State Historic Preserv ation Office of the Department of Economic and Community Development will support the Museum&rsquo\;s efforts to achieve ADA compliance requirements and move forward with the installation of the long-awaited elevator.

\n\n &ldquo\;The Board of Trustees is focused on incre asing access to this Connecticut State treasure\, said Chairman of the Boa rd Patsy Brescia. &ldquo\;We very grateful to the State H istoric Preservation Office for funding universal access to our facility a nd to our Sen. Bob Duff and Representative Larry Cafero for their support in garnering this important grant.&rdquo\;
\n\n \;
\n\n C urrently\, this National Historic Landmark cannot host a considerable port ion of our population as many areas of the Museum are currently inaccessib le to the disabled and parents with strollers\, due to lack of proper ramp s and an elevator.

\n\n \;
\n\n The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion is known around the world as one the most signifi cant examples of Victorian Era architecture. Built between 1864-68 as a su mmer residence by railroad tycoon LeGrand Lockwood\, a treasurer of the Ne w York Stock Exchange and renowned art collector. Lockwood\, one of Americ a&rsquo\;s first millionaire financiers\, subsequently lost his fortune in the stock market crash of 1869. Charles D. Mathews acquired it in 1876. T his well-to-do New York dynasty took full-time residence in the 30-acre No rwalk estate from the late 19th century through the Great Depression. &nbs p\;It remained in the Mathews family until 1941 when the city purchased it for use as a park.
\n\n \;
\n\n \;

\n\n Cos Cob\, CT\, A pril 2012--The Drawing Room Art Gallery is pleased to present the new grou p exhibition\, Abstract Matters: Four Fresh Perspectives on Contempora ry Abstraction\, which runs April 6\, to June 4\, 2013. The Drawing R oom Art Gallery invites the greater public to attend the Opening Reception and meet the artists\, on Saturday\, April 6\, from 6:30-8:30 pm. The Dra wing Room Art Gallery is located at 5 Suburban Avenue\, Cos Cob\, CT.
\n Abstract Matters highlights the work of four visual artists from New Mexico to Georgia to Vermont whose work engages in a personal dialogue wi th the language of abstraction. This exhibit includes acrylic &\; oils on canvas\, wood construction assemblages and printmaking\, each of which begs its viewers to move closer and become inspired.
\n\n Featured a rtists are Michelle Armas (Atlanta\, GA)\, Duncan Johnson (West Hartford\, VT)\, Carol MacDonald (Colchester\, VT) and Eric Reinemann (Santa Fe\, NM ).
\n\n In perfect time for spring\, Michelle Armas explores an expr essionist style of painting\, full of emotion\, utilizing a vivid palette of color within her painterly compositions. Building energetic layers of t exture and lyrical mark-making\, her paintings references urban graffiti a nd even woven textiles\, while simultaneously engaging in a personal dialo gue with the Early Abstract Expressionist painters such as Cy Twombly and Joan Mitchell.
\n\n Working with only the reclaimed wood that he sou rces from Vermont\, Duncan Johnson crafts striking and surprising composit ions embedded with a the sensual texture and intriguing history\, from eac h precisely milled strip of wood. The work evokes an intriguing use of col or and space\, causing some compositions to allude to a deeper place\, fur ther beyond what&rsquo\;s visually apparent on the surface. His use of rep etition and patterning\, are evocative of Johnson&rsquo\;s personal intere sts ranging from architecture to quilt-making.
\n\n Carol MacDonald& rsquo\;s rich array of printmaking celebrates both repetition and process\ , often referencing fibers and knitted textiles that she has knit herself. Calling the viewer to look more closely and sensitively at the abstract p attern within each stitch\, she delightfully exposes the playful twists an d turns that yarn makes to create a simple fabric or garment. These moment s mimic the complexities and routines of daily life\, while calling us to realize the astounding beauty that one can find in such repetitive rhythms and actions that remain threaded to our sense of time\, personal meaning\ , family traditions.
\n\n Eric Reinemann&rsquo\;s puzzling paintings utilize direct perceptual observation that is underpinned by structural r ecordings of the visual world\, relating to space and time. Drawing plays a critical role in the process of his work. Often utilizing still life as the basic structure that drives each work\, Reineman embraces the rhythmic qualities created through the drawing of changing perspectives\, movement and fluctuating shapes and proportions. Introducing new ways of looking a t life\, as viewers we become participants in an unexpected visual journey .
\n\n Each of these artists&rsquo\; unique constructions of the abs tract picture plane is rich and decadent with color and sensual texture. C elebrating the formalist qualities of art that so often drive us to fall i n love with the purity of a simple color relationship\, or a delicate pain ted shape\, each image in this collection skillfully captures abstraction at its finest.
\n\n The Drawing Room Gallery is open Monday- Saturda y\, 10am-5pm and is closed on Sundays.

\n\n KENISEBARN ES FINE ART (new location)
\n\n April 13 &ndash\; May 25\, 2013
\n Grand Opening Reception: Sat. April 13\, 6 &ndash\; 8:30 PM< /strong>
\n\n ABSTRACT THINKING
\n\n David Collins\, Yo landa Sá\;nchez\, Katia Santibañ\;ez and Josette Urso
\nKenise Barnes Fine Art will open in our new address\, with its expanded e xhibition and inventory spaces\, with a show of abstract paintings. \; Abstract Thinking features four painters who ep itomize painterly abstraction and represent the best of what Kenise Barnes Fine Art has built a reputation on for almost two decades. \;
\n\n David Collins has been with the gallery since 1994 an d has been featured in more than a dozen exhibitions with us. Collins&rsqu o\; visual language is culled from recollections of airports\, homes\, and construction sites. The artist renders these industrial and domestic scen es in highly geometric planes and vivid colors. \; \;The artist is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design\, and shows extensively in th e US. He lives and works in Manhattan. \;
\n\n Yolanda S á\;nchez was born in Havana\, Cuba and emigrated to the Uni ted States in 1960. Sá\;nchez holds a MFA from Yale University in pa inting. Yolanda is a Fulbright scholar\, completing her fellowship as a pa inter in Spain after she graduated from Yale. \; The artist lives and works in Miami Beach. The paintings are also informed by a variety of sour ces\, particularly poetry\, dance\, calligraphy and Asian art.
\n\n Katia Santibañ\;ez is interested in the idea of wor ld-making and bringing abstraction to another level\; inspired by nature a nd architecture she uses the grid to organize the composition. The system of the grid or stripes plays also with the idea of power and control--whic h nature and human beings have in common. \; The artist earned a B.F.A . at É\;cole Nationale Supé\;rieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris.&n bsp\;
\n\n Teetering between urban and natural subjects Jose tte Urso makes exploratory paintings working directly and urgentl y in response to her immediate environment. The artist&rsquo\;s approach i nvolves &ldquo\;moment-to-moment&rdquo\; extrapolation governed by intuiti ve leaps of scale\, color\, and wayward geometry. \; The artist holds both a BFA and an MFA from the University of South Florida\, Tampa\, FL.&n bsp\; She currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
\n\n New Gallery Space:
\n\n The second exhibition space at Kenise Barnes Fine A rt&rsquo\;s new quarters will highlight the more than forty contemporary a rtists that we represent. \; The work will be presented salon style an d we will continue to program Gallery II as a fluid\, and dynamic showcase of new work and fresh inventory throughout the year.
\n\n The third gallery space is reserved for our framed works on paper and the flat file s that are home to hundreds of unframed works on paper. \; We will con tinue to have a wide selection of unframed drawings\, prints\, mono-prints and photographs to offer collectors. \;
\n\n In addition to gre atly expanded exhibition spaces\, we are gaining an extensive lower level inventory warehouse that will include a private presentation room where co llectors can consider works in a private setting.
\n\n GRAND OPENING :
\n\n Please join us for sparkling wine\, light food from local pur veyors and a celebration of art and community on Saturday evening April 13 from 6 &ndash\; 8:30.

be displayed Sunday\, May 5\, through Wednesday\, June 19\, 2013.
\n
\n An award winning graphic designer\, Moriber is a fine art artist
and printmaker whose paintings and linoleum block print work tell tales of
emotions through a crisp cutting technique\, saturated inking and a rich
pallet. \;His subjects are boldly painted with a strong sense of chiar
oscuro. They push forward and fill up the space creating a strong sense of
presence. His portraits are expressive and ambiguous inviting the viewer
to make up his own story about the painting.
\n
\n In his artis
t statement\, Moriber wrote\, "\;You can'\;t look forward without l
ooking back. \;I often see before me what is familiar: I also see what
is unfamiliar\, what I expected and what I hadn'\;t expected. My perso
nal storehouse of memories encompasses all I'\;ve experienced and infor
ms me\, in my own particular context\, what it is I'\;m seeing. My imag
es depict what I believe is there and unseen\, subtle or overt at that par
ticular moment. The content\, gestures and colors reflect my feeling and t
hought about the circumstances and history of that moment. I invite the vi
ewer'\;s own imagination to join the conversation."\;
\n
\n Moriber is a graduate of Pratt Institute\, Brooklyn and was creative d
irector for Hill and Knowlton and Fleishman Hillard in New York. He reside

\n\n My paintings spring from a love and appreciation of Nature filtered throug h a meld of ever changing life experiences. The art reflects what I see no w and what I have experienced throughout my life. In this process my inner response and outward expression are constantly providing creative challen ges.
\n\n When I look at one of the wondrous natural scenes which su rround us\, I feel the need to portray the emotional impact of the scene m ore than the objects themselves. In expressing my impressions in abstract form\, I am consciously freeing form and color from Nature to focus on the essential order of things as I see and feel them.
\n\n In my daily living I strive to become a better person and to improve my conscious cont act with a higher spiritual being\; and in my art I constantly strive to a ttain a higher level of expression.

Keystone Revisited has even written and recorded a few new songs that are with the same heart su ch as “These Troubled Times” and “It’s A Love Thing”.The band was bought together because of the huge demand from fans to hear more music from the originators of the so-called “Jam Band”. When Merl Saunders and Jerry Gar cia got together it was pure magic. They were in these groups\; Merl Saund ers and Jerry Garcia\, Reconstruction and Legion Of Mary\, which were at t he forefront of the jam band era. What better way to pay homage to these l egendary players than by having BILL VITT who played with Merl and Jerry\, TONY SAUNDERS\, the son of Merl\, who started playing with them when he w as 18 and continued to play with them both doing other projects\, MICHAEL HINTON who played with Merl in High Noon with Mickey Hart and Merl’s Rainf orest Band. These three have played with so many of the people we love tha t their chemistry on stage is electric.

\n\n Publishers Weekly praised the Pilgrims Don'\;t Wear Pink author Stephanie Kate Strohm for "\ ;turning a strong heroine and a few surprises into a clever\, tightly writ ten book that will keep readers wondering who will become Libby'\;s Mr. Darcy."\;
\n\n This romantic sequel follows suit in high style! High-style hoopskirts\, that is . . . When history nerd Libby'\;s fash ion designer best friend asks for help selling his gowns to the wives of C ivil War re-enactors\, she jumps at the chance to frolic on a nineteenth-c entury playground. But Alabama'\;s no sweet home: sweltering heat\, no Starbucks\, a vengeful ghost . . . And the boys? Miss Libby'\;s got the North and the South fighting for her heart.
\n\n Stephanie Kate Str ohm is the author of Pilgrims Don&rsquo\;t Wear Pink and the upco ming Confederates Don'\;t Wear Couture. She grew up o n the Connecticut coast\, where a steady diet of Little House on the Prair ie turned her into a history nerd at an early age. She spent much of her c hildhood dressing up in bonnets.
\n\n While attending Middlebury Col lege in Vermont\, she blossomed into a full-fledged Civil War buff and was voted Winter Carnival Queen. After graduating with a joint major in theat er and history\, she acted her way around the country\, performing in more than 25 states\, primarily in shows where she got to wear corsets. \;
\n\n Currently she lives in New York City\, where her closet is alm ost big enough to hold all of her shoes. When she&rsquo\;s not writing\, s he loves baking\, shopping\, cuddling her dog Lorelei\, and dragging her b oyfriend to chick flicks. Don&rsquo\;t miss this wonderful opportunity to meet Stephanie and pick up a copy of her new novel\, Confederates Don& rsquo\;t Wear Couture.

\n Forty-two-year-old Laura spends her days looking
at other people&rsquo\;s potential calamities. She works in the radiograp
hy unit of a small hospital on the Maine coast\, scanning and x-raying fri
ghtened patients. In a job where finding nothing is always the best result
\, she is well versed in the random unfairness of life\, a revelation that
has started to affect her personally. Her husband Dan has become a strang
er since losing his job eighteen months ago and she feels the distance is
only growing between them. Her son\, a promising artist\, is in college\,
and her vivacious seventeen-year-old daughter is set to leave home within
the year. Laura begins to wonder if her impending empty nest will only dee
pen the disconnected state of her marriage.
\n
\n So when the o
pportunity arises for her to spend the weekend at a radiography conference
in Boston\, Laura jumps at the chance. She&rsquo\;ll be on her own for 72
hours for the first time since her children were born&mdash\;and she reve
ls in her temporary escape. \;
\n
\n While waiting to check
-in\, she meets a man as grey and uninspired as the hotel where&rsquo\;s s
he&rsquo\;s staying. He introduces himself as Richard Copeland\, and he&rs
quo\;s a fifty-something insurance salesman\, also from Maine\, also in Bo
ston for the weekend. After a slightly heated exchange in line\, she write
s off Richard as a nobody and plunges herself into the conference. However
\, when a chance meeting later that evening brings them together again\, L
aura begins to discover that Richard is a far more complex and thoughtful
man than his drab appearance reflects.
\n
\n Like Laura\, Richa
rd is someone who has begun to ponder all the limitations he&rsquo\;s impo
sed on his own life\, and who is also caught in a marriage that is going n
owhere. His wife is cold and detached and his only son suffers from severe
mental illness. As they spend more time together over the weekend\, Laura
and Richard find themselves entranced by their common love of language an
d their ability to deeply connect on a personal and passionate level. Each
of them has experienced profound love when they were younger&mdash\;and r
egret its loss. And in less than twenty-four hours\, both of their lives h
ave irrevocably changed. But change is one of the most emotionally fraught
words in the English language. Do Laura and Richard have the courage to t
ake the risk of radically altering their lives for another chance at love?
\n
\n
\n
\n In the tradition of Lionel Shriver\, R
ichard Russo\, and Jodi Picoult\, FIVE DAYS is a bittersweet tale of true
love\, regret\, and the hope for a second chance at forever. Douglas Kenne
dy is a powerful voice in contemporary literature\, and his latest novel w
ill leave readers lying in wait for his next literary endeavor.
\n \n Douglas Kennedy is the author of ten previous novels\, including th
e international bestseller The Moment. His work has been translated into t
wenty-two languages\, and in 2007 he received the French decoration of Che
valier de l&rsquo\;Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. \;

\n\n My Two Flags is the story of Antonio Amaya&rsquo\;s life-- revolving around his family\, his friends\, and one dream: to live in the United States.&nb sp\;When the dream becomes reality\, the drastic change creates daunting c hallenges. Antonio endures exclusion and disdain from his new schoolmates by turning his disillusionment inward.
\n\n Yearning to belong\, he fills the pages of his notebook in the hopes of learning English. \;Bu t how does a thirteen-year-old overcome language barriers\, racial slurs\, and bullying while hiding his desire to return to his country from his pa rents\, who have given up everything to live under two flags?
\n\n <
em>"\;The classic immigrant'\;s tale is well known in the book worl
d\, but no one tells it better than Javier Robayo. \;I am pleased to h
ighly recommend My Two Flags as a riveting\, educational read. This author
'\;s writing gives a soul to the universe\, wings to the mind\, flight
to the imagination and vibrant life to every scene he pens."\;
\n --Jo VonBargen\, Texas author and poet\, 2012
\n \;Javi er Robayo arrived in the United States at the age of 13. \;Unable to utter any more than a few words no American actually used\, he began chron icling life in an effort to learn English while he translated. \;Some where along the line\, he fell in love with writing. After graduating from high school in 1992\, he attended Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvani a where he met Dr. Elizabeth Curry who taught him the art of refining word s through constant rewriting\, and encouraged him to write. \;
\n\n My Two Flags is Javier&rsquo\;s third novel. Javier published \, \;The Gaze \;in March of 2012 guided by the admirable& nbsp\;John W. Huffman\, \;(A Wayward Wind\, Above All\, Tiger Woma n\, The Baron of Clayhill) Its sequel\, \;The Next Chapter\, was published in July of 2012. \;Javier is an eager young writer ready to satisfy the wishes of his humble audience. Javier lives in Anson ia with his wife and two wonderful daughters--his muses.

Having formed Buffalo Springfie ld with best friends Neil Young and Stephen Stills (which arguably helped establish their now-infamous music careers)\, as well as starting Poco wit h Jim Messina and Rusty Young\, Furay is a member of the elite folk rockin g heroes of the &lsquo\;60s and &lsquo\;70s. His unmistakable voice\, like on their biggest hit &ldquo\;For What it&rsquo\;s Worth&rdquo\; (which wa s actually the first song off their first record in &rsquo\;66)\, and his stoic\, almost spiritual stage presence (maybe because he&rsquo\;s a pasto r) will send chills down your spine as you listen to them rock out 40-year s worth of Furay&rsquo\;s music. Come out and come together for this show and you&rsquo\;ll never see StageOne the same way again.
\n\n About the reunion tour: &ldquo\;Stills'\; high lonesome voice anchored Rock a nd Roll Woman\, while Young'\;s distinctive cry lit up Burned. But Fura y\, who stood center stage\, reminded everyone he was the linchpin\, his p laintive tone painting songs such as Kind Woman\, Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It and Sad Memory with a soulful brush that had women in the l argely Baby Boomer crowd doe-eyed.&rdquo\; &ndash\; USA Today

"\;Artists like Sandro\, Roberto Carlos and Julio Igl esias were early pioneers in a movement of romanticism in music. It only m ade sense for me to pick up where they left off\,"\; he says.
\n\n It is the fusion of these Latin influences with the era'\;s "\;Anglo"\; visionaries\, artists like David Bowie\ , Leonard Cohen\, and Bryan Ferry that makes this project truly special. W ith lush string arrangements\, delicate Spanish guitars\, and distinctly L atin flavor\, the new album is worlds apart from Garcia'\;s former band Elefant\, a post-punk rock band that entered the music scene alongside Th e Strokes and Interpol. What remains a constant in Garcia'\;s new work is the romantic within and the distinctly modern sound.
\n\n My Old Kentucky Blog described '\;Laura'\; as "\ ;stunning... the best record you never dreamed you'\;d hear in 2011. Da rk\, urgent and cinematic."\; The new album quickly shot up the charts \, breaking into the iTunes Alternative Top 15 albums\, alongside new rele ases from artists like The Strokes and Death Cab For Cutie.

\n\n A new play by James Graham
\n\n It’s 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the soun d of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to ch ange the future of the nation\, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament \, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one\, fist fights erupt in the bars\, and ill MPs are hauled in to cast their vo tes.
\n\n It’s a time when a staggering number of politicians die\, and age-old traditions and allegiances are thrown aside in the struggle fo r power.
\n\n James Graham’s biting\, energetic and critically-accla imed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those beh ind the scenes who roll up their sleeves\, and on occasion bend the rules\ , to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother o f all Parliaments.

The two were lifelong friends\, growing up together in Washington\, D.C.\, and playing in the group the Triumphs. After high school\, guitarist Kaukonen and his government-service parents relocated t o the Philippines\, but he returned to the U.S. in time for the advent of psychedelia\, landing in San Francisco and co-founding the Airplane in 196 5. Bassist Casady joined not long after\, and together they helped lead th e group to massive success during the late '\;60s.
\n\n Hot Tuna -- originally dubbed Hot Sh*t\, much to the chagrin of their label\, RCA -- first began taking shape in 1969\, while both Cas ady and Kaukonen were still active members of the Jefferson Airplane\; in fact\, their first performances were sandwiched between regular Airplane g igs. As a trio rounded out by harmonica player Will Scarlet (and occasiona lly including Airplane members Marty Balin and Spencer Dryden)\, Hot Tuna debuted in 1970 with a low-key self-titled LP of traditional blues and rag time recorded live at the New Orleans House in Berkeley.
\n\n In the wake of the group'\;s demise\, Kaukonen release d a solo LP\, Jorma\, and later joined the new wave unit Vital Parts\; Cas ady also fronted a new wave group of his own\, SVT. In 1984\, both returne d to their roots: Casady joined fellow Airplane alums Balin and Paul Kantn er in the KBC Band\, while Kaukonen reverted to the acoustic folk and blue s of his formative years. Finally\, Casady and Kaukonen played a handful o f club dates under the Hot Tuna aegis\, re-forming on a more concrete basi s in 1986\; by 1990\, their ranks included singer/multi-instrumentalist Mi chael Falzarano\, a veteran of many early reunion shows.
\n\n That year Hot Tuna released Pair a Dice Found\, their fir st collection of new studio material in over a decade\; a series of live r eleases followed\, including 1992'\;s Live at Sweetwater\, 1997'\;s Splashdown Two\, and 1999'\;s And Furthurmore.... In the years to follo w\, Hot Tuna continued to play several live shows a year in various config urations. A single-disc best-of from the RCA years\, Keep on Truckin'\; \, was released in 2006. The group&rsquo\;s first studio album in 20 years \, Steady as She Goes\, recorded at Levon Helm'\;s studio in Woodstock\ , New York\, and produced by Larry Campbell\, was released on Red House Re cords in 2011.

It is about church and state\, love and mar riage\, faith and identity &mdash\; and one man'\;s struggle to dispel the notion that God'\;s love has limits.
\n\n Gene Robinson was the first openly gay person to be elected bishop in the high church traditions of Christendom. Bishop Robinson'\;s elevatio n in the sleepy New Hampshire diocese in 2003 ignited a worldwide firestor m in the Anglican Communion\, one that has become so heated that there is still a chance of a schism. One year after being muzzled by the Archbishop of Canterbury\, he finds himself speaking from the steps of the Lincoln M emorial at Barack Obama'\;s Inauguration. Gene Robinson confronts those who use religion as an instrument of oppression\, and claims a place in t he church and society\, not just for LGBT people\, but for everyone.
\n\n The Anglican Communion\, a global church body of 80 million\, is led by approximately 800 bishops. According to church history\, Gene Robinson\, the Bishop of New Hampshire\, is the only openly gay bishop ever to be consecrated since the time of Christ. The Anglican Communion\, like the Catholic Church from which it emerged\, believes that its bishops are the direct spiritual descendants of the twelve disciples of Christ. In 2003\, the Episcopal Church in America\, an arm of the Angli can Communion\, made history when it installed Gene Robinson as Bishop. Ge ne wore a bulletproof vest to his installation and\, every day since\, the local police have driven by his rural New Hampshire home to provide him a nd his loved ones protection in the face of a steady stream of death threa ts.
\n\n There is an unofficial church histor y of bishops\, popes\, priests and monks living one kind of life for the h istory book and another off the record. It is an open secret that in the A nglican Communion today Gene Robinson is not the only gay bishop &ndash\; not by a long shot. What does it signify that the Church can flourish know ing that it is rife with deception\, but threatens to shatter when it affi rms one man who chooses to be honest about who he is and who he loves?
\n Love Free or Die follows the Anglican Communi on in arguably its most historic chapter since Henry VIII broke from the R oman Catholic Church for the right to divorce in 1538. From Gene&rsquo\;s civil union in New Hampshire\, to the once-a-decade global bishops&rsquo\; gathering in Canterbury\, to the current fracture within the Church that& rsquo\;s inching toward total schism\, to the biennial gathering of the Ep iscopal Church in America\, watch the inner workings of this global moment of change from Robinson&rsquo\;s perspective.

\n Nothing screams summer like The Bl ues\, and nobody plays the blues like Jeff Pitchell and Johnny A. Two head s are better than one\, and backed by Texas Flood\, these two promise to b ring a bevy of blues and some no holds barred guitar.
\n\n Jeff Pitchell is a Connecticut legend\, having been recogniz ed as the best guitarist in the state at the early age of 15. He honed his craft with the influence of players like Buddy Guy\, Robert Cray\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, and played passionately for anyone who would listen. His ar t brought him to the attention of some pretty serious ears\, and for this performance he will be joined by Johnny A.
\nThe self taught guitarist Johnny A plays like he&rsquo\;s talking with an old friend. His natural approach has taken him a long way through stints with members of Creedence Clearwater Revival\, Santana\, Derek And The Dom inoes\, and J. Geils Band. Walking the line between Jazz and heavy Blues\, Johnny A is a talent you can&rsquo\;t quite pin down. Paired with Pitchel l he&rsquo\;s sure to bring some surprises.

\n\n Robert Davi\, one of the most recognizable entertain ers in the world puts on a beautifully staged and sung tribute to Ole Blue Eyes that is both heartfelt and theatrical. Davi was singing long before Frank Sinatra hand-picked him to play Mickey Sinardos in the 1977 NBC television drama "\;Contract on Cherry Street."\; As a teenag er\, Davi already had an insatiable desire to not just distinguish himself as a singer\, but to follow his idol'\;s lead and become a singer who really could act. Davi studied opera as a young man\, and always intended to make singing his career. As fate would have it\, however\, his screen c areer took flight and there was no looking back.
\n\n While Davi may portray characters in drama\, comedy and action that define "\;the to ugh guy persona\,"\; it'\;s nothing more than an artist working his craft. The real Robert Davi is the man we hear on this album: a sensitive romantic\; a gentle soul who brings a masculine edge to these songs\; a g reat mixture of sensitivity and toughness. For the recording\, Davi chose two music legends\, producer Phil Ramone and mixing engineer Al Schmitt\, which speaks volumes about his intentions to make this a meaningful career endeavor.
\n\n His voice is suitably magnificent &hellip\;. Rob ert evokes the ease of the Legend without coming off as a replicator. He m akes these songs his own just like Dino and Mel did when they performed Fr ank&rsquo\;s material. He will give our audiences a rare\, classy treat.-< /em>Dan Aykroyd
