SOLOS and DUETS
I love singing great songs. And this last month gave me the opportunity to sing a lot of them. First, doing “By The Time I Get to Phoenix” in a tribute to Glen Campbell with the original Wrecking Crew (the session musicians responsible for some of the greatest records in history), singing “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” at Hal Blaine’s (look him up) 90th birthday, and in a show honoring the memory of our friend John Wicks, I got to sing one of his perfect power-pop songs, “That Girl Is Emily.”
Now, THIS COMING TUESDAY, March 12, 7pm at Vitello’s, I’m doing a FULL BAND SHOW, sharing the bill with the talented Alison Lewis. I also get to sing a couple of duets with her. She’ll be mixing her own cool songs with some great arrangements of jazz and folk tunes.
And I’ll be premiering a new song called “WPP.” If you don’t know what that means, come Tuesday night to find out. Backing both of us up, we’ve got my old friends Scotty Breadman (percussion) and Domenic Genova (bass), along with Josh Workman on guitar. The fabulous Hillary Rollins is producing the event, called “Gary Stockdale and Alison Lewis, Together Like Never Before,” and she wants everyone to know that the ticket prices will go up on the day of the show (club policy), so please buy your tickets early. Here’s the link:
AND, speaking of duets, I will be performing again – as well as doing an opening set of my own music – with renowned Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne singer and collaborator Rosemary Butler at Bogies on April 4th at 7pm, in “Rose Sings Ronstadt.”. I get to sing a few duets with this beloved performer, as she sings classic tunes, and tells stories of her days working with the legends of pop and rock. Here’s the ticket link:
I’m all about the songs.
