Expressive Vocalist Gary Brumburgh Releases "Moonlight" On Cafe Pacific Records
For vocalist Gary Brumburgh, the lyrics of a song are like dialogue from a play, and when he sings, he approaches the material much like an actor prepares for a role.

Michael Dees: The Dream I Dreamed
by Nicholas F. Mondello
In describing his perspective of the state of certain vocal efforts existing today, a wag, respected for his pungent commentary, once said: “There's no substitute for crass."

While the actual act ...

The Trio: Live @ Charlie O's
by Martin Gladu
There are a myriad of different opportunities for in-demand drummer Peter Erskine to invest himself in, both as a musician and as an entrepreneur.
