Producer Ralph Lampkin, Jr; of Lampkin Music Group and Cafe Noctambulo co-owner Christopher Gines are proud to announce a new joint venture, "SPOTLIGHT SERIES."
The once a month Wednesday series, "Spotlight," will feature varied musical genres, with a concentration on the art of great storytelling. The series will open with longtime LMG artist, Jazz singer Martha Lorin, on May 18th.
Martha, whose voice has been lauded by many a critic these last 20 years, is a champion of the classic songbook. Martha's acclaimed vocal style is a tribute to the golden days of the supper club, but with a hip up-to-date musical feel. Performing with jazz cats Jon Weber on piano, Sean Harkness on guitar and Saadi Zain on bass/musical director "Swing Will Really Hang You Up the Most" is a new show concentrating on classic jazz standards.
Martha appears on Wednesday, May 18th from 8:00 - 10:00 pm.....Tickets are $20.00. RSVP @ 1 - 212 - 995 - 0900.
Following Martha into the room on Wednesday, June 15th 8:00 - 9:30 pm are indie/rock group, The Ember Jar, in their NY debut. The Midwest based group, made up of guitarist/singer Kevin Scott Joiner, singer/songwriter Abby King and drummer Vinnie Carrasco, will release their new single, "Stardust," this spring. The date is part of a mini tour to the east. Tickets are $20.00. RSVP @ 1 - 212 - 995 - 0900.
Lampkin and Gines have known each other since the days of Charles DeForest at Danny's Skylight Room; thru their mutual love of the classic songbook and the art of good storytelling, the two started talking about the possibility of working together last fall. Their plan is to continue bringing good quality entertainment to the public at this intimate club over the next 6 months. The cafe has a great sound system, a wonderful food menu, and a beautiful intimate setting.
