Gilbert O’Sullivan

May 20, 2025 By

He was the superstar who topped the UK and US single charts in the 70s with songs of endearing tunefulness, unabashed sentiment and existentialist musings. Today, Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan continues to be regarded with tremendous affection and his songs remain well-loved around the world.

Gilbert O’Sullivan was born Raymond Edward O’Sullivan in 1946 in Ireland. After forming and joining local bands as a drummer/vocalist, he started writing his own songs, heavily influenced by The Beatles as writers and Bob Dylan as a performer. Calling himself Gilbert, with a very distinctive image, two singles released by CBS Records and one with the Major Minor label, got little attention. Undeterred, he sent a demo tape to Gordon Mills, the man behind Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck, who impressed with his song writing, became his manager. The result was his first single on the MAM label, Nothing Rhymed, became a UK Top Ten hit in 1970.

More hit singles and a debut album Himself followed. But it was 1972’s Alone Again (Naturally) that sealed his fame, topping the USA charts for six weeks and garnering three Grammy nominations. Soon after, he got his first three British number one hits with Clair, Get Down and LPBack to Front. Gilbert was named “Songwriter of the Year” at the 18th Ivor Novello Awards, embarked on an 18-city UK tour and a USA tour, performed sold-out concerts, clocked another UK Top 10 hit with Why Oh Why Oh Why and in 1974 won a third Ivor Novello award. Cover versions of his songs continue to be released, in particular ‘Alone Again, (Naturally)’, with the latest being Neil Diamond and Diana Krall featuring Michael Buble.

Gilbert O’Sullivan is as creative now as he has ever been across an outstanding career, and the past few years have seen Gilbert O’Sullivan showcase many sides of his musical personality. Be it live shows with his band, full orchestral performances in the UK and Ireland or exploring Latin music on 2015’s Latin Ala G! album, the iconic songwriter has continued to look to the future while his famous back catalogue has, as ever, won him the respect and adoration of fellow musicians and audiences all over the world. His recent albums, 2018’s Ethan Johns-produced ‘Gilbert O’Sullivan’ and this year’s Andy Wright-produced ‘Driven’ (both awarded 4-stars in MOJO magazine), both entered the charts in the Top 30 and Top 20 and have seen a rightful renaissance and reappraisal of this Irish born, outstanding British talent.

Julio Iglesias, Jr.

April 30, 2025 By

Julio Iglesias, Jr., has lived a life steeped in the transcendent power of music. Since first taking the stage with his legendary father as a small child, the Madrid-born artist has turned out musical projects in a dazzling expanse of genres, toured with icons like Cher, and captivated audiences across the globe with his soulful vocals and effortlessly charming presence. Made with famed producer Rudy PĂ©rez (the Grammy Award-winning musician known for his work with superstars like Christina Aguilera, BeyoncĂ©, and Natalie Cole), his new album Under The Covers finds Iglesias reinterpreting an eclectic mix of pop songs in the classic sound of big band and swing—a supreme fit for his impossibly smooth voice, resulting in his most magnetic and magical work to date (which will be followed by several exciting major projects still to be announced.)

Recorded in his home base of Miami Beach with an elite lineup of musicians, Under The Covers makes for a perfect counterpart to the crowd-thrilling live show Iglesias has brought to venues around the world in recent years. “When I first started singing in this very timeless style, everything clicked for me,” he says. “It feels authentic to who I am more than anything I’ve done before, and I knew I needed to continue on that path. I love that I’m able to give people something that takes them back and brings them joy, especially at a time when the world really needs more peace and love.”

“We were delighted to have Julio perform for our guests during a recent event in Miami. He was absolutely a draw for clients to attend as they were excited to see him perform, and he did not disappoint! Julio is charismatic and really knows how to engage a crowd. Everyone was on their feet dancing and singing along to the known classics he performed. Julio joined our guests dancing and serenaded them. He is a true performer with magnetism and star quality. His band is incredible too! We would absolutely hire him again for a future engagement”.

THE BLOW MONKEYS

The Blow Monkeys are unique with a career spanning over 40 years. Always making new music, always stretching their own musical boundaries. With worldwide hits such as the classics “Digging Your Scene” and “It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way”, they became household names but there was always so much more going on with these simian soulsters.

Their relentless desire to move forward, to collaborate, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the 80’s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse!. “No band since The Clash in their early 80’s heyday had attempted to act as a sounding board for such politically engaged, eclectic music”.

Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown ‘house’ records “Wait”, his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle.

And so the journey continues. Reformed in 2008 The Blow Monkeys have been incredibly productive releasing six new albums and playing hundreds of concerts. Their latest album “Journey To You” ( 2021) was recorded during ‘lockdown’ and features the extraordinary single “Time Storm” . BMG have also re-released their classic album from 1986 ‘Animal Magic’ as part of their “Iconic” series.

Perry Sings Sinatra

December 14, 2022 By

SINATRA-STYLE SINGER PERRY D’ANDREA

Winner of the 2022 Hoboken My Way Sinatra Sing-Off

For more than 30 years, Perry D’Andrea, a native of Toccoa, GA, has been a musical entertainer. Drawing on his invaluable experiences under the baton and tutelage of award-winning musical conductor Dr. Archie Sharretts (at Stephens County High School) as well as his inspiration from Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band, Perry, as both a high school junior and senior, led a 17-piece jazz swing band, playing trumpet out front.


He began his professional career as a performing musician in 1991 in Athens, GA, co-founding the bands Strange Attractors and Thunder Wamper, primarily playing trumpet and singing on a few select songs.

Residing in San Francisco since the mid-1990’s, D’Andrea spent many years playing trumpet as a sideman in bands such as Kofy Brown Band, Sistas in the Pit, London Street, Knightress M1, and two performances in the Grand Theft Orchestra with Amanda Palmer.

D’Andrea was riveted to the TV as a child whenever Frank Sinatra was on, and he secretly tried to sing like Sinatra for many years, but only when no one else could hear. Fast forward to one night in the summer of 2015, D’Andrea was invited to famed piano bar Martuni’s in San Francisco, where he sang a Sinatra song in public for the first time. That night sparked a new direction for D’Andrea that quickly grew to become his primary profession, rising to the point of his winning the 2022 Hoboken My Way Sinatra Sing-Off, the definitive annual international Sinatra singing competition.

With his show “Perry Sings Sinatra” now in high demand, D’Andrea performs Sinatra shows all across the United States, for every size occasion, from tiny living-room private events, to corporate events and metropolitan-area awards shows.

STRANGELOVE The Depeche Mode Experience

March 31, 2022 By

Los Angeles based STRANGELOVE-The Depeche Mode Experience delivers a career spanning, pitch perfect “best of” concert that transports the listener through time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode’s 40+ year career. Songs from throughout the Depeche canon are lovingly recreated; from favorites on DM’s debut Speak and Spell to the newest fare from ‘Mode’s latest- 2017’s “Spirit”. No detail of STRANGELOVE’s presentation has been overlooked. The visual presentation with stage set pieces and in-show costume changes reflect different eras of Depeche Mode’s story.

Truly evocative of a Depeche Mode arena/stadium stage show; the scale of STRANGELOVE’s theatrical stage production is unparalleled, save for the real article. Custom-produced multimedia projection visuals delight the concertgoer’s senses and enhance the illusion that they’re witnessing an actual Depeche Mode concert.

These accomplished musicians have a reverence and devotion to Depeche Mode’s body of work that’s driven them to recreate every possible detail and bring the “Music To The Masses” in a concert setting that transcends a mere tribute production; and feels more like a shared communal fan-club celebration of halcyon days of new wave/emerging electronica. Accuracy and authenticity is a hallmark of the project, with the band employing as many authentic vintage synthesizers and samplers as possible in recreating the classic and widely varied sounds of Depeche Mode’s discography.

​With over 120 million records sold and a rabid international fan base, Depeche Mode’s status as elder statesmen of electronica was recently cemented with their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last year. Their enormous fan base encompasses all ages and crosses every demographic. Their last stadium/arena tour in 2018 set world box office records. STRANGELOVE –The Depeche Mode Experience brings a thoroughly enjoyable and staggeringly authentic DM concert to concertgoers, and connects with international audiences, wherever the group performs.

MIDGE URE

August 22, 2016 By

 Having celebrated his 70th birthday with a sold out show at the historic Royal Albert Hall in October 2023, Midge is keen to continue the celebration of his life in music by announcing a new North American tour for August and September 2024. 

The tour will give Midge the opportunity to showcase the musical breadth and versatility of his extensive song catalogue written during the past 50 years; giving old and new fans alike a truly remarkable night of hits and rarely heard gems. 

Midge says “I performed live long before I was ever allowed anywhere near a recording studio and as much as I love spending time writing and recording, live music remains my first love. This „Band in a Box‟ tour will allow me to not only play a wide selection of hits from my past but perform some of the most requested favourites. Revisiting these moments from my musical life is something I am really looking forward to sharing. 

After the astounding audience reaction to my US tour in 2022 with Howard Jones I have decided to continue with the two man/Band in a Box format I had then. With Keyboards, guitars, loops and samples I can conjure up the sonic essence of past works with Ultravox and Visage as well as my own solo material”

MEN WITHOUT HATS

January 27, 2016 By

They told the world “You can dance if you want to” 40 years ago – and we did. A few years later they instructed that same planet – the third – to go Pop – and we did.

Men Without Hats have been creating iconic and irresistible pop music for three decades and have soared back with the release of their latest album, Love in the Age of War, to be released this May.

Led by charismatic front man, lead singer and songwriter Ivan Dorschuk, MWH has surged back starting with a breakout show at 2011’s SXSW and followed by extensive, well-received touring across North America over the last year.

Along with keyboard player Lou Dawson and guitarist James Love, Doroschuk and the Hats have been delivering high energy shows packed with all of the band’s absurdly catchy lyrics as well as great tracks from the new release, a disc that picks up where the hit-making band left off.

“Sure lots has changed in music over the last few decades, “ says Doroschuk, “ but the world still loves a hooky song with a bit of edge that can get you thinking.”

And that’s what the Hats deliver, tracks that will get you bopping across the dance floor with subtle messages that will haunt you long after the music has ended.

It’s no surprise that this band has topped charts across the planet and even picked up a 1983 Grammy nomination for Best group (Culture Club won it). The Hats song catalog always sounds fresh and relevant and Hats hits have been featured on The Simpsons, Family Guy and Glee and Pop Goes the World now lights up TV screens in a TIDE ad.

Men Without Hats have been providing a hit-filled and hooky soundtrack for our lives since the 80s and the band powers magnificently into the 21st Century with a steady stream of jaw-dropping live shows and a fantastic new album.

You still can “dance if you want to” and Men Without Hats makes it easy and fun.

THE HUMAN LEAGUE

October 1, 2015 By

The Human League are so credible it’s incredible. They’re used to everyone from Madonna to Moby, Pet Shop Boys to Robbie Williams, citing them as an influence. Now the dubstep generation – notably, the acclaimed Darkstar, who cover the League’s 1982 B-side ‘You Remind Me Of Gold’ on their current album, North – have begun to pay homage to the original sound of Sheffield. But they’re about more than esoteric infiltration – there has been mainstream penetration, too, commensurate with a band who gave us the greatest ever Christmas Number 1 single with 1981/2’s ‘Don’t You Want Me’, who have had four Top 10 albums and eight Top 10 singles in the UK as well as two US Number 1 singles and sold 20 million records worldwide.

BO BICE

October 1, 2015 By

Bo Bice is a total original. His raw, muscular vocals are a product of years working the gritty Southern club circuit. This is the same funky, makeshift environment that produced The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many others a generation ago. BO BICE came to prominence on American Idol, but this diamond in the rough has not smoothed out those rough edges that made him a star to begin with. Bice topped the charts with “Inside Your Heaven,” a single from his 2005 debut The Real Thing, and went on to tour and record with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Willie Nelson and Carlos Santana as well as appearing at Bonnaroo. He also recorded the studio albums “See the Light” and “3” which featured the crossover country hit “You Take Yourself With You”. Today, he fills the coveted spot of fronting the legendary Jazz Rock band BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS, while continuing to energize & excite audiences all over the world.

Hits include:

“INSIDE YOUR HEAVEN”
“THE REAL THING”
“YOU TAKE YOURSELF WITH YOU”
