Chicago's James Marshall joins Headline Management portfolio

Read what a reviewer said about James Marshall:

New album review!
Artist: James Marshall
Title: We Are The Dreamers
Genre: Pop-Rock-Folk
Label: City Streets Records
Website: http://www.james-marshall.com

Sweet pop rock fill the grooves, or should I say digital imprint (excuse me for my reminiscing about vinyl) of We Are The Dreamers.

James Marshall is the crafty singer/songwriter/guitarist on all twelve tracks of this exceptional CD.Marshall’s focus is on dreamy vocals with a slight rasp accompanied by jingly guitars to pull you away from the space your in.

This CD is definitely the kind of music that tends to grow on you, it took me a few listens before it all sank in and I could appreciate everything the artist accomplishes with this recording. The fact that he is a multi-task DYI person, and an excellent one at that, is quite notable. He certainly has all the attributes of artist that is capable of taking his career to the next level or any direction he chooses.

The best tunes for my listening pleasure were “The Nah-Nah Song,” which has an irresistible rap sprinkled about it and “Forever and a Day,” a charming pop diamond that stays in your head for hours. The entire CD is a solid representation of a genre that is in dire need of help. We need more artists like this. When you hear hit singles from the 60s on the radio, you have to wonder if they will ever make music like that again.

Well, I guess this is as close as it gets for great rock-pop tunes that you want to hear over and again.

This was a very satisfying, warm, and above all inviting listen.

New York's MACAN joins Headline Management

In an era when music is often geared more towards tabloids than truth, it is refreshing to find an artist concerned with making honest artistic statements rather than fueling rumour mills.

Such is the case with Machan, a singer whose exotic adult pop-meets-jazz sound and striking countenance are reinforced not by garish actions and flamboyant declarations, but rather by her own heartfelt songs and the sincere joy she receives from sharing those songs with others.

It is that passion for performing and love of singing that led Machan to work as a background vocalist for artists such as Sting, Pink Floyd, Pat Benetar, George Benson, Gov't Mule and others, along with stints fronting the Glenn Miller Orch and the jazz ensemble Hiroshima.

Recently finishing her 2nd solo project, Machan celebrates her new deal with NuGroove/Warlock Records and her new CD "Motion of Love" scheduled for release July 24th.

We recommend a visit to Macan's MySpace page, listen to the tracks - and enjoy! And have a look at her website: http://www.geishagirlmusic.com/

Blondee - the ultimate Blondie tribute show

Blondee is a 6 piece Blondie tribute band from South-east of England.

BLONDEE have been playing around the region for some years and have been told they sound the closest band to the real thing. They are all very experienced musicians and know how to put on a great show.

The band is fronted by the charismatic Dee, who eerily reproduces Debbie Harry’s vocals and ‘don’t mess with me’ attitude. Strutting around the stage in some of Debbie’s trashiest, sexiest outfits, Dee provides the perfect focal point for the band onstage.

The band's set-list can be tailored to fit any venue or event and Dee makes one costume change mid-show - though more can be negotiated by agreement. They can play a full Blondie set of an hour and half, or an 1hour Blondie greatest hits set, or 2 x 45 minutes.

As far as we know, 'Blondee' is Only Blondie tribute band to incorporate the full Blondie line up of two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards. Find out more at: http://www.blondie-tribute-band.co.uk/
