Tidings of great joy shall be to all people in January of 2015 with the release of the new Tony Adamo recording! This is the perfect storm of a Nu music revolution and Tony Adamo is your vocal master of ceremonies, the lyrical poet laureate to take you to the land of rhythm and groove.

Checking out a couple of advance tracks that found their way to my inbox there is “Gale Blowin’ High” a lyrical biography of the great Eddie Gale. Take an opening subtle samba groove and free your mind as the syncopated swing moves to an Afro-Gospel sound that no one can touch. This is the kick off for a Nu music revolution for all people! The band speaks for itself with names including the legendary drummer from the Headhunters Mike Clark along with Lenny White and Michael Wolff but make no mistake, all the musical co-conspirators are bringing it!

The second track “Listen Here Listen Up” is a blues infused jazz nasty to blow your mind and feed your soul! This tune is as cool as the other side of pillow! This is pure acid funk, Adamo welcomes you to a new sound, his sound with a band that takes in the pocket to the next dimension of groove. Straight up, there is not another vocal artist covering this territory and I am at a loss to think of another that could with this kind of authenticity. Tony Adamo is the real deal!

As a critical mercenary it is my job to hip you to the best of what is available or in this case what is coming! Christmas doesn’t end on December 25th fellow babies, Tony Adamo is bringing you a little something the first of the year!

Mic Gillette and his band MGB (Mic Gillette Band) have just started a Kickstarter Campaign to raise funding for their second CD “Turning Two”.  To find out how you can contribute click on the following link (in red):  MGB Kickstarter Campaign

About Mic and the Kickstarter Campaign:

From 1968 to1984, Mic was a founding member of the Tower of Power horn section – he was personally best known as the man who blows ‘You’re Still A Young Man’ and can play a trumpet and trombone almost simultaneously. He left the road when he and his wife had their one and only daughter. After she grew up Mic went back and did one last stint with Tower of Power in 2011, he realized his passion was making music with the people he loved and he focused his attention to The Mic Gillette Band. What a breakthrough year we’ve had! We have decided to put the cherry on top and make our next album, entitled ‘Turning Two’.

Our first CD, ‘Moon Doggy’ was released last December and was very much a homegrown effort. Everyone gave all their time and heart into getting that one done and it took a little while. This time we are looking to all you wonderful, funky cool folks to be a part of this project and get it out to be heard by this December! We are already going full steam in the studio and starting album artwork in the next couple weeks. This disc will include some fun and phat original tunes, and a few unexpected covers, done the Mic Gillette way of course.

Your generous donations will help in the following ways:

• Studio time & musicians
• Guest Artist Contributions
• Licensing
• Mastering
• Artwork/Photography

As we are new to the Kickstarter community, we will explain what we understand. It is all or nothing as far as funding goes. If we meet (hopefully exceed) our $10,000 goal then we will be funded and the project will move forward as quickly as intended. If we do not reach our goal, then no funding from Kickstarter will happen.

To help us reach our goal, share this page with family and friends that you think would be interested in our endeavor. We will keep everyone updated on our Facebook page as to how we are doing!
