 I recently caught a few of my
favorite performing songwriters
including Victoria Shaw, James Dean Hicks and
Ramin Karimloo at the The Birdland in NYC. Shaw
sang a few of her hit songs including "The
River," "I Love the Way You Love
Me," and many more.
There were a few surprise guests that evening
including Erich Bergen, from the "Jersey
Boys" film. I happened to be sitting next to
Bergen at the bar, having no idea who he was and
the next thing I know, he's up on stage
performing a song from his new EP "Never
Give Up. The biggest surprise of the night was
guest star Desmond Child, who sang his mega-hit
"Livin' On A Prayer."
One of my favorite performing songwriters James
Dean Hicks, performed some of his hit country
songs including "Grandpa Told Me So"
and "Jesus and Mama." Also performing
that evening was Tony nominee from Les
Miser-ables, Ramin Karimloo who has an amazing
voice. And to end the show, Victoria's daughters,
Ava and Ruby Lock-nar, did a great job singing
backup on one of Victoria's songs. |
