“It’s old-school cabaret with a modern sensibility as the former Advocate editor releases his first album (available Tuesday) and lets his rich baritone soar over a number of familiar standards from artists ranging from Cole Porter to Lady Gaga, many of which get cheeky new arrangements. Check out his cover of Idina Menzel’s marriage equality anthem “Gorgeous” below.”
Hot Sheet: On the Edge
No Skies of Grey on the Great White Way
Got a nice write-up on the Broadway Melodies show I did with Steve Fry for the Culver City Historical Society. At least I think it’s a nice write-up …
Get into These Grooves
Scott McPherson wrote this this super-nice, super politically correct review of my show on The Advocate Art Department’s website:
Will You Meet Me in the Middle?
Let me preface this story by saying none of this was not my idea. Yet I’m a sucker for love. And attention.
And I have a really hard time saying no. Which means if you ask me to sing at your wedding and I can clear my not-so-busy schedule, I’m there. Even if it means learning some new tunes and putting my own special spin on them.
Go See ‘Carbuncle’!
Check out this nice write-up of Carbuncle, a film in which I make a very brief but nonetheless significant (depending on who you talk to) appearance.
It Seems I Did a Commentary for the Wildfire DVD
If you happen to be watching the season 2 DVD of Wildfire, check out my highly informative commentary on episode 6, “Nothing Takes The Past Away Like The Future.”
24 Hours of Sunshine / I’d Rather Be Sailing
From Giving ‘Til It Hurts You, 2004. Live at the Split.Id Theater.
NOTE: The video was secretly taken by a crazed fan and later posted on a Finnish website. After being seized by INTERPOL, the tape was deemed unsuitable for public viewing due to its poor sound and picture quality and held in a vault pending legal action.
‘GTIHU’: A Review! Sort Of
My attempts to get the L.A. Weekly to see my show were unsuccessful. But thankfully, a gentleman by the name of Barry Goold gave me this sort of nice write-up. I don’t actually know him but I’m grateful he came to the show, which he said was “pretty good.” (As far as my live performances go, it’s my best review to date.)
O Say Can You See
Singing the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium was a blast. Tons of friends came to cheer me on. John Ritter was there. I felt so loved.
Check Me Out at Dodger Stadium
If you’re in or near Los Angeles tomorrow, come watch the Dodgers play the Padres. It’s certain to be an exciting scrimmage or whatever they say in baseball.
