Record Ticket Sales Result In New Yorker Fresh Island Festival Needing New Venue

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=175367

As a result of truly overwhelming ticket sales following the announcement of rap legend Rick Ross to the line up, boutique hip hop festival NEW YORKER FRESH ISLAND is forced to expand from the adjoining beach clubs of Papaya and Aquarius (who have played host to the event for the last two years) and take over the whole of Zrce beach.

Rick Ross (who has just released a single with J Lo), who will kick off the festival in style on 23rd July 2014.

'A lot of artists told me how they had an amazing time in Croatia during Fresh Island Festival. They spoke about the special festival atmosphere, the open air stage next to the beach, great cuisine, wine, pretty women and great energetic fans. From all the tour dates I have this summer, Croatia is the one I am looking forward to the most,' (Rick Ross.)

NEW YORKER FRESH ISLAND FESTIVAL's organisers are expecting over 20,000 fans (last year's capacity was 7,000) to flock to Zrce (dubbed 'the beach that never sleeps') on the island of Pag and this will officially be the biggest festival event that the beach has ever hosted.

Pusha-T will open for Rick Ross on the 23rd, and the epic UK dj and radio host DJ Tim Westwood also joins the line up to take the stage until 2 A.M. and bring on the beach party!

NEW YORKER FRESH ISLAND FESTIVAL'S three day line up also includes Method Man and Redman, DMX and over 40 performers ' making it the biggest hip hop event in Europe.

Bastille Day Swings At San Francisco's Society Cabaret: C'est Magnifique!

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=175339

To celebrate French Independence Day, Lua Hadar with Twist presents their popular French Music Hall show, C'est Magnifique!

This Bastille-Day-with-a-Twist features Lua on French and English vocals, Music Director Jason Martineau on piano, Dan Feiszli on bass, Kelly Park on drums, and for the first time, the swing of Tom Bekeny's jazz violin.

Saturday, July 12 at 8pm (seating from 7pm) at Society Cabaret at the Hotel Rex Union Square, 562 Sutter Street, San Francisco. Full bar, great food. Tickets start at $26 (NO FEES) at www.ticketmaster.com or www.societycabaret.com. Or call 415-857-1896.

ABOUT C'EST MAGNIFIQUE!
The show presents a variety of songs from the popular traditions of Paris, including those of American songwriter Cole Porter; hence the title C'est Magnifique!, a song from Cole Porter's 1953 musical, Can-Can.

Tom Bekeny's Stephane Grappelli-style swing brings a gypsy jazz color to the show, in a new twist for Twist.

French songs by Charles Trenet, Maxime LeForestier, Edith Piaf and Serge Gainsbourg round out the set list, and as ever, Lua's humorous anecdotes provide her personalized bridge to the songs, whether you speak French or not.
More info at www.likeabridge.net and www.luahadar.com.

ABOUT TWIST:
Since its inception in 2007, Hadar's cosmopolitan jazz ensemble TWIST has developed a multi-lingual world jazz fusion that twists the styles of international standards and brings new material into the jazz idiom.

Lua has charmed audiences from New York's Iridium Jazz Club to Bangkok's Thailand Cultural Center to the Swan Bar in Paris, where, on a return engagement, she previewed C'est Magnifique! to an enthusiastic full house before bringing it to San Francisco's Society Cabaret for its first run in November 2013.

Hadar has released three CDs with Music Director Jason Martineau and Twist. The most recent, Like A Bridge, was recorded in 2012 as the centerpiece of her Bridges Project.

The Like A Bridge DVD was nominated for an Independent Music Award and was released at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland in September of 2013 after its premiere at San Francisco's Historic Balboa Theater.

"...such a lovely variety of songs from cabaret traditions of Paris (and beyond), that we might as well have been in a brick-walled basement room in the Quartier Latin." - Talkin' Broadway

"First call band of international talent and an innate gift of swing." - Critical Jazz

"An artist with excellent, eclectic tastes." - Palo Alto Daily News

"Lua Hadar has always delighted listeners with her ability to cross all barriers and create a cosmopolitan jazz sound." - EMusic.com

About the Artists In Music Awards
Established in 2011, the Artists In Music Awards was originally created to honor and recognize the most talented and gifted artists.

Over the years, this tradition has evolved beyond the recognition of a singular art form with a desire to encompass all areas of Arts & Entertainment.

On April 28, 2014, Artists In Music Awards joined forces with the Siqueiros Foundation of the Arts. SFOTA is a non-profit organization with two goals in mind - the dedication to empowering creative youth by providing scholarship opportunities to underprivileged children and providing an avenue to explore and express the arts through unity and community involvement. SOFTA is also dedicated to creating jobs for out of work artists using Federal aid through the resurrection of the Federal Art Project (FAP), a program with a focus on putting Artists back to work, but disappeared after the end of the Depression Era in 1943.

This new merger with the Artists In Music Awards and the Siqueiros
Foundation of the Arts is not only a new chapter for both organizations, but an exciting opportunity for all artists to be apart of.

As a member of the AIMA and SFOTA comes with special privileges
including exclusive access to special events, FREE awards submissions, workshops, discounts on premiere affiliated art exhibits and award events, plus voting privileges on AIMA categories.

Season IV Sponsors by MusicSUBMIT, IndependentMusicPromotions.com, LA "IN" PR, KGUP 106.5FM, Spirit Airlines, and InDspotlightTV

GrooveShine, A Funky-Fresh Band With Good Vibes

From the clear skies and sandy beaches of California, comes a band who’s sound uniquely fuses the boom-bap of hip-hop, the stank of funk, and the good vibes of reggae. The reggae-hip-hop band GrooveShine has solidified their mark in the music industry by encompassing all these elements and pushing their latest album release by the same name. GrooveShine is a playful, yet soulful band that is reminiscent of bands such as Slightly Stoopid, Phish, and Ozomatli. Combing their world percussion and cool synths, GrooveShine is a band that everybody can get into and bob their head to the beat while enjoying a day at the beach, relaxing under the rays of the sun.

GrooveShine heavily relies on the chugging bass lines that reggae music is known to have, but uniquely adds a hip-hop feel to their percussion; often times borrowing world percussion to add a fresh new sound. One of their standout tracks “Chasin’ A Freak” is a perfect example of how they combine genres seamlessly and effortlessly. Their influences are apparent, yet distinguished enough to create their own GrooveShine sound by adding funky synthesizers that are uncommon to the ear, but friendly to hear and dance to.

One of the more notable aesthetics of GrooveShine are the lyrics. Accompanying a fresh new sound are playful and fun lyrics that often have a deep-rooted message within. Topics about a narcissistic woman, to a world full of love, are within the realm of GrooveShine. But yet they still manage to keep a positive outlook on life and keep the party going with their up-beat melodies and uncanny recipe of reggae, hip-hop, and funk.

GrooveShine without a doubt has the musical creativity that can push forward a new movement of feel good vibes that is somewhat lacking in today’s musical tastes. A new blend of music has been brewing and bubbling with GrooveShine and with their new album ready, there is no telling what can come out of it but music to dance to and have fun with.
