Summer’s of L&S’s Next Performance..

Hello Friends.

I hope that this e-mail finds you “In Good Spirits”. I am sending this e-mail for 2 reasons.

I have been a professional vocalist for a little over 17 years and it is truly what makes me happy. Everyone asks when my first show of this year will be and it is finally here. If you have never heard L&S perform, we are a very sultry and soulful duo – compared to the Emotions and Zhane, because of our seamless harmonies and outstanding songwriting. Please come out if you can…Otherwise there will be PLENTY of shows to come.

Born Monica Smith, OZARA ODE (pronounced o-day) is a modern day mixture of Sarah Vaughn & Nina Simone. After adopting the motto “Change Your Mind – Change Your Condition” and 2 yrs of research, planning and the name change, Ms. Ode packed and rebirthed in Atlanta, GA; blessing the city with her fervent energy, big smile and enticing voice. This is a “feel good” artist who’s inviting energy is best expressed in her own words: “…You see, music has been my church, my mosque, my synagogue; basically my therapist. We all know that music has the power to help us walk our way right out of misery and into a better place or our ancestors would not have needed to create the Spirituals, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, Hip Hop and Neo Soul. My humble desire is to take you on a journey with words and melodies that will uplift you when you need lifting, help you cuddle when you need cuddling and help your feet move when you need to dance. My sound is a feel good sound that I call Soul Rock. As you listen to my voice, I pray that it touches the core of you- resonating with the positive energy that is a part of the transformation or the affirmations in your life. My mother gave me Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Earth, Wind, and Fire. I would like to give you Ozara Ode’! ” In 2007 Ozara executive produced and recorded her first album “I DREAM” and within her first in Atlanta performed everywhere from Centerstage to the 14th St. Playhouse, in shows like “SOULKISS” to V-103’s “PASSION & POETRY”. A trailblazer in her own right, Ozara is also writing and producing a one -woman stage play about the legendary Nina Simone, aptly titled “In Her Own Words”, slated to debut in June 2009.  “Amazing”, “Outstanding” & “Mesmerizing” have all been used to describe this artist but, if you’re truly wondering who she is, she will tell you, in her own words…she is OZARA ODE! 27 WAYS ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS ATL GOT JOKES @KAT’S CAFE MONDAY The stage play was written by Atlanta ’s own, Pearl Cleage and Zaron Burnett Jr., her husband and acclaimed “theater-man”. Enjoy a memorable evening with song, dance and storytelling, internationally acclaimed artists Rhodessa Jones and Idris Ackamoor detail the love story they’ve found themselves living after decades on the road. Partnerships, politics, history, family, and food – whatever your favorite lovesong, you can sing along in this show. “You don’t start a love story.

Greetings Friends, SoundDoc Entertainment is back for the 2009 year wtih exciting events in store for you. March 13th-We are starting the year with a make-up event that was cancelled due to inclimate weather in December. Soul Sounds is a promotional event created by SoundDoc Entertainment in the summer of 2008, to showcase the very  talented independent Soul/R&B Artists across the nation. Soul Sounds aims to focus on secondary  markets where exposure to soul music is not prevalent. Events take place in venues supportive of the music, artists, and movement. As there is no door cover, we ask that you support the artists by purchasing their CDs. http://www.myspace.com/soulsoundsevents Coming up Friday March 13th!!!! Hope to see you there!!! March’s showcase will feature Abby Dobson and Jimmy Salvemini. March 13th 2009 Tula Kitchen 41 East Main St. Bay Shore, NY 11907 9:00 P.M.- No Cover http://www.tulakitchen.com Abby Dobson http://www.abby-dobson.com http://www.myspace.com/abbydobsonmusic Some singers need to be surrounded by a variety of equipment to move people, but this powerful artist simply needs an audience.  She is one of those rare songbirds that effortlessly stimulate sensual, soulful and raw emotions using just her vocal instrument, a voice that you don’t just hear…you feel it. Having been influenced by the likes of legendary soul and jazz powerhouses such as Sarah Vaughn, Anita Baker, Donny Hathaway, Bill Withers, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin, Abby is not your typical artist who tries to woo a crowd with technical acrobatics or lyrical clichés, but instead captures a crowd using captivating melodies and emotionally charged words brought to life by the ache and honey in her voice. Devoted to her craft, Abby has studied classical voice since Junior High school.  But it was the introduction to Billie Holiday and Hathaway that taught Abby how to draw people inside her in such a way that you feel her essence. Abby’s music is heart music. “I want to touch people.  I wanna make you feel.” Abby has performed throughout New York City performing to rave reviews at well-known venues like S.O.B’s, The Knitting Factory, The Cutting Room, Joe’s Pub, and the legendary Blue Note. This performer has three times been a featured singer/songwriter at the New York Songwriter’s Circle, performed on BET’s 106 & Park, was a finalist in the R&B category of the John Lennon Song Writing Competition for her song “Deeply”, which has also been featured on television (“The Shield”, “Jack & Jill” and “Any Day Now”), performed in 98.7 KissFM sponsored shows at the South Street Seaport, and was hailed by 98.7 KissFM as a “rising superstar”. Abby Dobson has also sung backgrounds for several recording artists, including Talib Kweli, John Legend, Consequence and Urban Mystic. Abby is constantly busy sharing her timeless voice and giving back to society, which is why she volunteered to direct a gospel choir, became an advocate for youth and community organizations using her enormous talent as a tool of hope, performed in neighborhood choruses, churches and a host of other social engagements including lending her heartfelt lyrics and melodies to various fundraising events for the Bronx Community College Upward Bound program, Music of Choice for Youth Benefit Performance, Better Youth.org, Lifebeat’s Heart and Voices, The Brotherhood SisterSol, The Lower Eastside Girl’s Club and the Ronald McDonald House for children living with Cancer. Abby is no assembly line artist.  No gimmicks.  No studio manufactured antics.  She is to soulful music an innovative and compelling force, a tender voice bringing people together…bringing you joy… through the gift of song Jimmy Salvemini http://www.jimmysalvemini.com http://www.myspace.com/jimmysalvemini A big part of his story is currently featured in the first biography ever written about Luther Vandross, Luther: The Life and Longingn of Luther Vandross. Luther took Jimmy under his wing and nurtured his talent after seeing him perform on the hit talent show Star Search when Jimmy was just 14 years old. Luther decided to set aside all projects and write and produce his new protege’s debut R and B album. Luther called in favors from old friends to appear on the album, such as Irene Cara, Pheobe Snow, Brenda Russell, Cheryl Lynn, and Pee Wee Herman, just to name a few. On January 12,1986, the day after completing the last song for the debut album, while on the way to the studio to celebrate what seemed to be the pinnacle of Jimmy’s teenage career, the Mercedes driven by Luther swerved out of control and collided with two oncoming cars. In the accident Jimmy’s brother and manager Larry died, Luther and Jimmy suffered external wounds and internal injuries. Elektra records decided that in light of the tragedy, it would be nearly impossible to launch the project out of such horrific circumstances. Jimmy became reclusive when returning home to Long Island morning his brother and healing his broken body. When he listened to the voice within, he discovered an innate ability he never knew existed… writing songs and creating music. His newly discovered talents became his channel of self-expression. Occasionally singing locally, it was when Luther had his stroke that memories resurfaced and Jimmy set out to accomplish the goals from his youth. As always Drea will be there to hold Jimmy down on keys! Friday March 20th SoundDoc is excited about Jimmy Salvemini’s upcoming venture to South Africa. The Journey is hosting a concert with Jimmy Salvemini and Melvin Robinson Jr. & guest. Drea is also lending her talents to the concert, playing keys. The concert is to support the missions journey to South Africa in April.  Pleae come out and support SoundDoc Entertainment artists, the mission, and The Journey at this once in a lifetime gospel concert.

The premise of Prayer Works is to share positive, supportive energy through the power of affirmative prayer. We believe that Prayer Works and sometimes a prayer-at-work helps to get us through the day. So if this is something that you can relate to great. Feel free to share it with other like- minded folks in your circle. If not just skip over this part (it’s all good). I had a breakthrough in a major relationship in my life. And it revealed that I really was not taking responsibility for the way I was showing up in the relationship. I was being petty and manipulative. I was fully engaged in the story of complaint and blame. Then I realized that what was being shown to me through this relationship also related to other areas in my life. Of course it would because “Everything is One Thing”. And so this week’s Prayer Work is dedicated to my love affair with time. Ode to Time .The Timeless Within Which is All Time The Free Spirit that flows unobstructed through me Individualized, Expressed, Creating all the time. Today I release the limitations and misuse of time. I step away from the distractions of blaming people and the false truth of the World of 10,000 Things & then some. Instead I step into the true Truth that “Everything Is One Thing”. How I show up here or not, is how I show up there or not. I surrender the blame habit game that I never win. I forgive myself for not taking full responsibility for my life, my choices, my words, my actions and my time. It’s about time I creatively live at the level of Cause aligned with the Indwelling Spirit of Timelessness. For within this space I am always serendipity timely. Today I have my being in the power of creativity, the power of change, the power of new possibilities, the power of insight, the power of thought taking action. I accept this perfect and simple gift that opens me up to deeper awareness, acceptance and knowing about myself. For it is all just information for my use in service to transformation and revelation. Time is timeless and yet timeliness is being true to time. Now is the only time there is. When my days seems to get away from me I stop, take a breath and ask myself “how am I spending my Nowness instead of how am I spending my time”? On this plane of being and living here on earth in the World of 10,000 things & then some more things, time seems limited but “Now” is unlimited even here, even at work, at home and wherever responsibility meets me. I know that Now really is the time. When I have the mind chatter of deciding when I’m going to do something and start to bargain with myself to do it later, or tomorrow or even better when I have more time. I know that Now really is the time. I take the first step to begin it Now and I finish on- time. I release this prayer knowing that Spirit’s clock is always set to Now. Today I set my time by Spirit’s watch. I attune myself, my actions, my focus my attention to the Universal Time of Now. I only have Now to work with. What a gift that is!!! It’s clear, it’s here, it’s dependable, it’s consistent. I have Now so get to work Love. Mantra: I know that Now is the Time & Act. ©2008 Melissa Moorer Nobles. All rights reserved.
