"Give me one reason to stay here!!!"

First of all, thanks a million to my favorite local diva, Ria, for posting this.

When I saw it I got goose bumps all over again! Below is the video of the grand finale from the MCPG Launch Party last week. These kids ROCKED, but what most of you don't know is that they were filling in for another singer's case of laryngitis, so they pulled off this amazing performance with a few hours notice!

(And "pulled off" is an understatement. They rocked the crowd's socks off!)

I'm surrounded by amazing talent, I tell you. Thanks again to Ria, Travis Bashor, Michel Gonzalez, Parable MC and the rest of the LBC, - that's Llamabeats crew for those of you that don't know yet! - and here they are one more time performing their extra hot version of Tracy Champman's "Gimme One Reason To Stay Here".

"Thank you thank you thank you, you're far too kind..."

Just sending a quick "Thanks!" to all the friends who helped spread the word about the Magic City Production Group Launch Party! Check 'em out!

"This is a change, a change I can believe in..."

The first thing you'll probably notice when you see songstress Ria is "Daaaayummm!!!" Here's why:



Guess what, though. Aside from being absolutely stunning, charming and brilliant, girly can SING. She blew me away at a recent Haiti benefit concert, and I am unbelievely excited and honored that she and her accompanying guitarist Michel Gonzalez have agreed to participate in the Magic City Launch Party on Feb 13th (Sooo soon! Ahhh!)

When you see her sing live - voice, beauty and personality bursting out at you - I'm sure you'll become an instant fan as I did. Meanwhile you can check her out and even buy some tracks online. You can also find her on twitter, which by the way is my latest obsession!

Here is a video of her singing my favorite of her songs, "Alright" at Van Dyke Cafe on South Beach.
