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

Does anyone out there have any proof that "Detour" mentioned in the article ever existed in LA?

This is like the third article to mention it being sold out, etc... I just can't find that it ever existed here in LA. No past reviews or calendar listings... very strange.

Did anyone see it in LA? I can't imagine I would miss seeing or hearing about a show here in LA that was a sold out hit for 10 weeks in a small theater. One would assume to that it would run longer if it was so successful and sold out.

I hope it is a good cd. Seems like he has been trying to put one out forever now.

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.

Didn't Lauren Kennedy release a CD with that title or am I crazy?

JRB's song is weird.

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."

Cool idea. Hope he gets some good suggestions!

I'm so looking forward to the Birdland concert... hoping Block, Hoffman & Strickland sign up to appear too. But as long as we have S. Alan & C. Jackson I'm good

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.

Ooh thanks for the update, Popular! How exciting :) Hopefully i can make it to Birdland for this - Sounds like a wonderful evening!

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...

[Jimbo2]

CDBaby just got additional stock in. They were sold out for a few weeks-I wrote to Scott at his website and he gave me the heads up that they would have more shortly-seems like a nice guy. I love the CD!!

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 don't like it. Bland and boring. Great singers, but they can't overcome this horrible material. It's just bad pop song after pop song. Horrible lyrics and not a good melody in the bunch.

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
