About Jazz at Lincoln Center

The mission of Jazz at Lincoln Center is to entertain, enrich, and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education, and advocacy. We believe jazz is a metaphor for Democracy. Because jazz is improvisational, it celebrates personal freedom and encourages individual expression. Because jazz is swinging, it dedicates that freedom to finding and maintaining common ground with others. Because jazz is rooted in the blues, it inspires us to face adversity with persistent optimism.

My Review:

This game wasn't too hard to figure out. There's tutorial mode which explains to you how to do everything. I went into the practice to learn how to drive the truck around after I picked which one I wanted, and it was fun going off of ramps, flipping the truck upside down, ramming into stacks of tires, and more! There's also different driver views which is cool also when you're flipping upside down. I hope to actually progress more, race, and add some really cool stuff to my monster truck! I can't wait! Especially right now with everything going on in this crazy world, it's a nice escape. Even if it's only for a little while.

Singer-Songwriter Meg Toohey Gives a Shout Out to Kids in the Age of COVID with ‘I Wish I Could Go Back’

This year has been tough for everyone — but especially so for teenagers having to miss out on fun school activities and milestones due to the pandemic. On November 19, singer-songwriter Meg Toohey releases “I Wish I Could Go Back,” a shout out to all of the high school kids who have seen their football games, their proms, their graduations, and their good times sidelined by COVID-19.

In the track, Toohey paints a picture of teenage Americana — and offers up a snapshot of the myriad of firsts today’s students must go without, from innocently riding around in beat-up cars to being able to “hug hello and kiss goodbye” or just hang out under the bleachers at a school football game. She outlines the wistful feeling that permeates everyone as we move forward through this moment: “I Wish I Could Go Back.” 

The single comes as a followup to her tribute to fellow Waitress cast member Nick Cordero, who died from complications due to COVID-19. Since then “Lucky Streak” featuring Sara Bareilles been downloaded over 300k times and was featured on The Today Show, CBS This Morning and The Talk.

Toohey’s career as a singer/songwriter continues to bloom, and she and her bandmates from “Waitress” — including Sara Bareilles — recently played a virtual streaming concert from Rockwood Music Hall. With the success of the show, they have another upcoming concert already booked.

After a lifetime of making music, Toohey is just getting started.

Meg Toohey's voice is amazing! To me, she sounds like an early Norah Jones, but more country! I love it! I can't wait to hear more from her!

Listen to “I Wish I Could Go Back” below:

Child Actor, and Now Children's Book Author, Arden Pala, Has His Own Book Series To Teach Children About Different Cultures.

"Superpowers for Good" cast member Arden Pala who was recently awarded “Best Child Actor” by the Los Angeles Film Awards talks about celebrating cultures and similarities in his new book series.

Arden wrote “The Adventures of Noah’s Flying Car Through China” (available to purchase now and on kindle) and “The Adventures of Noah’s Flying Car Through Turkey” (available only for amazon kindle) during his summer breaks and based them on trips he took with his family to China, Turkey and Mexico.

"The main message I want to get across is that folks are all different in various ways — maybe culturally or in beliefs, religions and background and other aspects. But the uniqueness of each person should be celebrated and that ultimately brings people together. In the process, they’ll probably also find they have a lot in common."

His 24-page children’s book with illustrations by Pavel Goldaev includes descriptions of Arden’s travels through the eyes of a young boy and his friends.

The book is part of a series that explores different countries around the world — the beauty of the land, historic places, and the food as experienced by several kids traveling in a flying car. Not a bad way to travel during the pandemic, although the series started several years before.

Proceeds benefit San Diego COVID-19 Community Response Fund.

The book, which raises money for the San Diego COVID-19 Community Response Fund, takes readers on an adventure swimming with dolphins in Cabo San Lucas, and whale watching in Todos Santos on the way to the ancient pyramids of Chichen Itza where the kids explore a Mayan temple.

“I want kids to have a fun time when they read my book. I also want kids to learn about different cultures and food,” said Arden, a sixth-grader at Francis Parker School in San Diego.

The way Arden figures it, if he shows different places in the world where kids’ families come from, they can make a connection with those places and understand a little more about the kids who come from there.

“I wrote the books to show that it’s OK to be different,” said Arden.

Arden comes from an immigrant culture himself — Turkish American — and cultural differences and accepting each other with our differences, no matter where we come from, is something we discuss very often at home.

“I want to explain about a country in a short, fun way, so kids get to experience how exciting and cool it is,” said Arden.

"The Adventures of Noah's Flying Car Through Mexico" are only available for purchase on Amazon.com.

DROWNING - Movie Review!

My Review and Thoughts:

Melora Walters (Boogie Nights, Magnolia) is on a role! (and in many as well). She’s not only starred in Pen15 this summer, but also just released her feature film Drowning! She’s breaking boundaries not only as a female filmmaker but in storytelling through film at large.

I found the movie a little hard to follow. It's like being inside of Rosie's head and what people are saying to her because she's annoying them. She's really bothered by the fact that her son joined the military reserves. She keeps thinking that he's going to die. Seems as though she has some anxiety issues, which some of us do. She's inside of her own head so much that she seems almost depressed. The movie ends weird to me. It's worth watching if you like these kinds of movies. Melora Walters is a great actress though!

Melora Walters’ Film DROWNING 

Secures North American Release from Gravitas Ventures; 

Film Debuts October 20 on all Digital VOD Platforms 

Melora Walters, Gil Bellows, Jay Mohr, Joanna Going, Steven Swadling, Sergio Rizzuto and Mira Sorvino Star in Walters’ Second Film

Gravitas Ventures has released actress-turned-writer/director Melora Walters’ film DROWNING is now available on all North American digital VOD platforms. 

Debuting in October 2019 at the Rome Film Festival and concluding its festival run it Italy this summer at The Marateale— among the first international film festivals to take place since the pandemic began—Walters took home “Best Director” and the festival also honored star Mira Sorvino with the “La Marateale International Award” for her career and her commitment to the advancement of women in film.  DROWNING stars Walters (MAGNOLIA) directing her second feature (the first was this summer’s WATERLILY JAGUAR). The film also stars Emmyâ-winners Gil Bellows (PATRIOT) and Jay Mohr (GO); Joanna Going (KINGDOM),; Steven Swadling (KICKBOXER; THE CLEARING); Sergio Rizzuto (HARD KILL); and the Oscarâ-winning Mira Sorvino (MIGHTY APHRODITE, Hollywood). Rizzuto and Walters also serve as producers; and Swadling as an executive producer.

DROWNING recounts the story of a mother coming to terms with her emotions as her only son is deployed to war. Walters, whose son was deployed to Iraq and Syria, also wrote the film, inspired by her own experiences. The film explores the grief and depression that many families of service members struggle to reconcile with back at home. As such the film follows Rose (Walters) as she crosses paths with strangers and confides in close friends, grappling with her own faults to discover meaning in life.

Christopher Backus (JETT; WATERLILY JAGUAR), Sarah Butler (I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE), and Jim O’Heir (SMOTHERED BY MOTHERS) round out the cast. DROWNING was produced by Rizzuto for his Potato Eater Productions, Albert Chi, Rory Rooney, Walters, and Jerry Ying. Swadling served as an executive producer under his Room in the Sky Films production banner. 

Walters is in the midst of a career high, having released her directorial debut WATERLILY JAGUAR in June, starred in the horror-Western THE PALE DOOR in August, co-starring in the current hit Hulu Original series PEN15, and is starring in PINK SKIES AHEAD, debuted in October 2020.

Scooter Brown Teams Up With Veteran-Owned Merica Bourbon For Signature Series! #merica

Southern rock and country artist Scooter Brown has teamed up with veteran-owned Merica Bourbon for a special Scooter Brown Signature Series. As a Marine vet himself with an affinity for good whiskey, the collaboration felt only natural. Everyone knows that country music pairs perfectly with bourbon - according to Merica, both are “meant to be shared with friends, reminiscing on the good moments in life.”

“It’s been a dream of mine to put out my own whiskey. The partnership with Merica Bourbon has turned into so much more. A veteran owned company all made in the USA is obviously a perfect fit as well... and the whiskey is delicious!” says Brown.

“I am very happy to be working with such a talented musician as Scooter Brown on his Merica Bourbon Signature Series, It has been amazing working with another veteran who believes in a quality, affordable Bourbon that gives back!” says founder Derek Sisson.

Proudly made in America, Merica Bourbon Whiskey, uses only the finest American grain to offer the cleanest, smoothest and best tasting whiskey. Derived from American history, Merica Bourbon is made with the same passion that makes this country great.

The Merica Bourbon Scooter Brown Signature Series is available to purchase online in 38 states. Merch items can be bought here.

Scooter Brown Band recently released their newest double single on Veterans Day. The original, “Something Waylon Would Sing,” has that traditional outlaw feel, while the Waylon Jennings cover, “Don’t You Think This Outlaw Bit’s Done Got Out Of Hand,” modernises a classic tune. Listen to both songs here.

The single has been added to Apple Music’s Country Roads, Don’t Mess With Texas and New Country Music playlists and can also be found on their Country Hot Tracks feature. Spotify added the song to their Next From Nashville playlist.

“It starts out semi-spoken, with a steel guitar weeping in the background. Then that familiar Waylors beat kicks in and the thumper production adds chicken-pickin’ Telecaster guitar and the audio pleasure meter goes up to “10.” Well done.” - Robert K. Oermann, Music Row

About Scooter Brown Band
After four years and three months, two tours overseas with one tour of combat in Iraq as a United States Marine, Scooter Brown traded his guns in for guitars and hit the road. Scooter Brown Band was formed and began playing mainly in and around Houston, Texas. They have toured North America and opened for some of their biggest influences including Charlie Daniels Band, Travis Tritt, Dwight Yoakam, Lee Roy Parnell and the Marshall Tucker Band, just to name a few. With two of the members having served in the military, they dedicate significant time doing work for Veteran Support Organizations like Base Camp 40 - Warriors in the Wild, Lone Survivor Foundation, and the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation. For the last few years the band has been building a new era in their career. Defined as modern southern rock, the band released American Son in late 2017 and was named by Artists to Watch by Rolling Stone. Spotify supported the title track of the album on playlists including “Country Rocks,” “Southern Rock 101” and “Texas Music Now.” Brown was featured as a finalist on USA Network’s “Real Country” in 2018 and was awarded Male Vocalist of the Year at the Third Annual Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards presented by iHeartRadio. In July 2019 they made their debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage, introduced by fellow road warrior, Opry-member Charlie Daniels. The band has continued a rigorous touring schedule while writing with some of the biggest songwriters in Nashville and recording new music set to release in 2020.

JS Shelburne Premieres His Latest Single, "Bottoms Up Sundown!"

JD Shelburne Exclusively Premieres Latest Single, “Bottoms Up Sundown” With American Songwriter

Single To Be Included On Upcoming Album ‘Straight From Kentucky’ Due Out in 2021

Country music standout, JD Shelburne releases yet another staple country tune titled, “Bottoms Up Sundown.” The single details a simple day in the life of small-town America where you work hard, live right, and take the time to enjoy each blessing as they happen. When life gets complicated and all comes crashing down, this is the perfect song to ground listeners and bring them back to their roots. The release of “Bottoms Up Sundown,” builds anticipation for Shelburne’s upcoming album 'Straight From Kentucky' scheduled for release in early 2021, featuring more catchy country tunes like this. “Bottoms Up Sundown” is available to download and stream on all digital services now and is exclusively premiered on American Songwriter.

To listen to “Bottoms Up Sundown” on American Songwriter visit HERE.

“While preparing to record for my 2021 album, Straight from Kentucky, I spent many hours listening to music,” says Shelburne. At the end of 2019, I had more time on my hands to actually dig down deep into some great songs! I came across “Bottoms Up Sundown” on a demo my producer Phil O’Donnell (George Strait, Blake Shelton) and Brandon Kinney (Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell) had written, which had the vibe I was looking for. It screamed “small-town country anthem” and I know many of my fans can relate to the lyrics. We started testing the song at shows in early 2020 and my fans have begged us for this one ever since. I am so excited for y’all to hear our new version,” shares Shelburne.

Nashville-based publishing company, Banner Music is happy to share that rising artist, Walker Campbell, is the newest addition to their Banner Believers roster with his single, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." His vibrant vocals perfectly sync with the jazzy production, proving that his talent is way beyond his years. Campbell is the youngest Banner Believer at just 11 years old.

“I love to sing and I really love to sing with Banner Music and I appreciate that they believe in me,” says Walker Campbell.

"Walker Campbell is a pleasure to work with and we are very excited to work with someone so talented and driven,” says Camilla Kleindienst, CEO of Banner Music.

Campbell recently starred in Banner Music’s James Robert Webb’s “Think About It” music video, where he impressed both Webb and Kleindienst with his talent and drive. Having accomplished so much at such a young age, such as learning to zipline, mastering Chess and earning his SCUBA certification, it is no surprise that Campbell is turning his love of music into a career. Limitations are non-existent in Walker’s mind, so it’s only fitting that he would want to model his career after his idols Bruno Bars, Justin Timberlake, and Justin Bieber. Young and hungry with an “old soul” disposition, Walker Campbell is well on his way to making a lasting impact in the music world and beyond.

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is scheduled to be released on November 27, 2020, but can be pre-saved here.

About Walker Campbell: 

At 11 years old, Walker Campbell already realizes the importance of hard work, persistence, and a “No Fear” attitude when it comes to crushing goals. The adventurous spirit learned to zipline not long after he learned to walk because he thought it was “cool to fly like Superman.” Around the age of seven, he became interested in chess and has since won several awards and tournaments, playing both kids and adults. On his 10th birthday, he challenged himself to get his scuba diving certification after watching his parents and older sister go deep in the water. And now, the spunky Memphis native is bringing that same ingenuity and confidence to the world he connects with the most—the world of entertainment. As the grandson of an accomplished church keyboardist and the child of classic rock loving parents, Walker was exposed to a diverse musical soundtrack from the time he opened his eyes. The Campbell walls echoed with tunes from Broadway, rock, country, and pop as did the car speakers on long rides. When two year old Walker belted out a solo from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat in the back seat, his parents knew music was quickly and naturally becoming a second language. By the time he was in third grade, the starring role of Charlie in his elementary school production of Willa Wonka took Walker’s passion of performing to a whole new level. Voice lessons soon followed under the direction of legendary vocal coach, Bob Westbrook (Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Lucy Hale). Just three months into his lessons, Walker procured a spot as a finalist in the Delta Fair “Star of the Fair” competition with his rendition of Justin Bieber’s “Baby”. The precocious student has continued to pursue music with guitar and violin lessons, school productions, community theatre, and local functions. He most recently appeared in the “Think About It” music video for country artist James Robert Webb. While on set for the video, Walker and his family met Camilla and Daniel Kleindienst from Banner Music. And now, he is the youngest signed artist on Banner’s roster. His first ever release, a spunky rendition of the Holiday classic, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, is sure to turn heads and snap fingers. His vibrant vocals perfectly synch with the jazzy production, proving that his talent is way beyond his years. And so is his intuitive and adaptable nature when it comes to any situation. Never one to meet a stranger and always one to make people laugh, Walker hopes to dabble more into both songwriting and comedy as he gets older.  He is currently signed with an acting agent and auditioning for commercials and modeling gigs.

About Banner Believers Project:

Banner Music launched its new Banner Believers production project to give artists and writers a chance to get their music out. The concept is to release songs from artists who write with Banner Music’s staff songwriters without all the strings attached of a typical deal. Banner Music believes in these selected artists and the power of a song, and hopes this project provides the boost they need to advance their artist careers. “The Banner Believers Project is something that reflects the heart of Banner Music,” says Banner Music CEO Camilla Kleindienst. “We believe in artists, we believe in the power of songs, and we are a place of”‘Makin' things happen.”
