Quite an amazing cast. And I LOVE Scott Alan's music. I can't wait to get it.

Does anyone else find it strange that Jason Robert Brown also has a song called "Dreaming Wide Awake?"

I guess it's a little odd to borrow the title, but it does have a ring to it. Plus Bright Eyed Joy was already taken.

Lauren sang the song on her album "Songs of Jason Robert Brown."

Birdland Concert Update !!!

Hey Everyone -

So, a small update about the CD release party on January 7th. I am excited to say that I have started getting confirmation from some of the performers, and the following artists will be joining Jesse Vargas and myself:

Eden Espinosa
Cheyenne Jackson
Adriane Lenox
Jonathan Groff
Carly Jibson
Danny Calvert
Katie Thompson

More of the performers will be joining us for this exciting night, but, as of now, these are the performers that I know for sure !!!! There will also be songs not included on the CD, so if you are attending the show and have a song you MUST hear that wasn't included on the CD, let me know.

So, here is the ticket information:

$25 - General Admission
$40 - Ringside/Front Row Orchestra Seats
$10 Food and Drink Min.

Reservations can be made by calling (212) 581- 3080 or visit the Birdland website to make reservations online.

There will be a CD signing with all of the artists following the concert. It should be a wonderful night."

"There will also be songs not included on the CD, so if you are attending the show and have a song you MUST hear that wasn't included on the CD, let me know."

Cool idea. Hope he gets some good suggestions!

Edens song "I'm a star" is incredible. The whole cd is but that song is so damn catchy.

To be perfectly honest, I was a little underwhelmed by the CD. I prefered the orchestrations on the sample CD of Piece as well as other pieces I have heard prior to this release.

listening to the samples of the songs on CDBaby make me nervous about ordering it. the clips don't sound particularly good. and i AM a fan of all of the singers. i just don't like what they are singing...

Latest CD release update from Scott:

"I should have the final list of performers by the end of this week. Sadly, Katie Thompson had to pull out of the evening since her own show will be making a debut out in Los Angeles, but Carly Jibson, who duets with Jackie Hoffman on At Seventeen, will be singing 'Say Goodbye' in her place and I know she is going to rock it out. Carly's voice is unbelievable. I am also excited to announce that Shoshana Bean will also be joining us for the evening as well. As of right now, that means, Shoshana Bean, Stephanie J. Block, Eden Espinosa, Liz Callaway, Jonathan Groff, Carly Jibson, Adriane Lenox and Cheyenne Jackson will be joining us. Remember, there will be a CD signing afterwards. If you don't own the actual cd, we will be selling them at the venue after the show, so no worries. Please note: Only actual CD's will be signed."

Wow - It looks like the event at Birdland in January is sold out already. Glad I got my tickets

I personally liked the CD However I do think that some of the recordings that he had on his website before the CD came out were better than the ones that made there way to the CD. I really think he has a lot of promise as a composer though. "Never Never Land" is one of the best new songs I have heard in a long time
