That is the theme of this unique Showcase Performance of five exciting new artists presented by legendary Promoter, SID BERNSTEIN, commemorating the 42nd Anniversary of his initial presentation of The Beatles first live appearance here in America at Carnegie Hall on February 12, 1964! Come and hear them all Live at “ The Cutting Room,” 19 West 24th Street, New York on February 12, 2006 at 6.00 Pm. (www.thecuttingroomnyc.com) On that historic date in February of 1964, SID BERNSTEIN brought us a new sound – direct from Liverpool, England – by what are unquestionably the most prominent musical artists the world has yet seen. And now again, 42 years later on this same date, he is proud to present – among the other acts on this bill – a new and exciting Beatles Tribute performance with an even newer twist. Headlining the show is Larry Russell’s “BeatleStock Sing Along.” This new group captures the sound and the feeling of Beatle classics from those early years of the 60’s through the last recorded moments of their prolific careers together a decade later. But this act adds a unique flavor in its ability for intimate sized audiences to Sing Along and to be a part of the energy and the life of that wonderful music. Accompanied by three fine guitarists, a smooth clarinet duet, a rich keyboard background and steady percussion beat, accomplished bassist, Larry Russell, has assembled a warm and skilled group of musicians who do justice to the legacy and the true essence of The Beatles repertoire. (www.beatleStock.com) Following on the bill is “The Guitar Man”, David Ippolito, a seasoned guitarist, vocalist and songwriter who has honed his skills for years in the shadow of The Dakota Apartments in Central Park where he regularly delights audiences with his Folk/Rock wit and musical abilities. David is unique and talented and has incredible original material to offer to all. (www.thatguitarman.com) In the Blues arena, Ten Year Old Myles Mancuso stands out as a natural talent – a genuine Prodigy who will captivate and thrill the audience with his innate ability to play the Blues and to improvise live in a style way beyond his young age. Myles’ creative abilities revealed themselves at a very early age. At 3 years old it was evident he had performing in his nature as he would dress up and meticulously emulate the performances of some of his early favorites – Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Ray Charles and James Brown. He particularly enjoyed playing to Elvis and The Beatles. Myles appreciates many styles of music and likes to learn his songs using his advanced abilities – by ear! He loves to perform and never fails to amaze. (www.mylesmancuso.com) Where Pop reigns and audiences light up, this next artist promises to be a sure sensation and a fresh new change in direction. Deirdre Broderick, sings, writes, plays the keyboards and the guitar with an ease and proficiency seldom seen in contemporary new artists. Talented, confident and musically disciplined, Deirdre will offer original material not heard to date, as well as a Tribute to the Beatles, including her rendition of “In My Life”, by John Lennon. (www.deirdrebroderick.com) And in completion of it all, audiences will generously share in the charm and the charisma of an Englishman in New York, direct from Liverpool, England, once again, Mr. Bernstein’s boomerang back in time, rising Jazz and Swing Star of the UK, Neville Skelly. In the last several years, Neville has taken the UK by storm with his fourteen piece Big Band sound and has proven to be a new and dynamic force in the Jazz and Swing genre. Now he, too, is here from Liverpool for his first live performance in the States, 42 years after this historic date. Performing two new and compelling cuts which will leave you wide eyed and smiling, as well as covers of “Witchcraft” and other famous crooners, Neville’s performance will surely be one to remember and appreciate for a long time to come.
