here's the scoop. i'm INTENT on singing this as part of our production on
Feb 15 here in Portland. who can help?
excerpt from an email with someone else with some info about the show, ect:
<snip>
For this particular piece I would be very universal, sensual, raspy, wailing
at times but bringing it in when appropriate. I'm a vocalist...I do
everything from ambient to house to Grateful Cover bands. If I had to
*compare* i'm kinda like a mix between Chaka Kan, Joni Mitchell, and Marvin
Gaye. My love is soul-funk/acid-jazz.
The event, "Akbal," is put on by a marketing company I am involved with
Consciousness Marketing Group (for profit) dedicated to offering marketing
alternatives and all natural products and health education...but we are also
the Ahau Collective (non-profit org) dedicated to raising the vibration of
the planet and we throw dance gatherings to faciltate unity and
personal/group healing through estatic dance and focused intention.
Around "half-time" the dj will bring things down to silence then i will sing
accapella a song i wrote for Ahau called "My Love is for You" then we want
to bring the vibe back up with me singing "Sir Duke" and the next dj will
mix into it and begin his set. So, I am intent on singing "Sir Duke" with
the music behind me if I have to get a Karaoke version of it :)
If you resonate and feel you would like to put a mix together with us, that
would be awesome...the event is on Feb. 15 in Portland, but we would need
just a couple of days to get the music ready...usually we do things pretty
much on the fly and it turns out fabulous!
