Happy New Year to all -

Special congrats to Urban Productions client JEREMY BLUE for his debut CD "Embracing This" included in This Way Out Radio's "best of the year show". 
(and in such illustrious company!) I loved working and especially playing on this fine album, and knew when I first heard Jeremy's work tracks that he'd come up with something very special.  Jer 

and I often cross paths on the live circuit,  giving me the chance sit in on electric gtr for his CD's awesome opening song "Don't Know Where I Been".  You can see Jeremy's stuff at www.jeremyblue.com

The Urban Productions recording studio was significantly upgraded (again!) in the 2nd half of 2002 - As the scope of the just-finished-soon-to-be-released new Robert Urban CD, (way larger than any recording I've done before)  demanded new processor upgrades, larger memory/storage drives, new A/D converters, effects, sounds, plug-ins, instrument amps, etc, etc - The purpose of all this tech-talk being, as we head into 2003 with two full cd projects and a film score project already booked - we are
PSYCHED!!

Thanks to all the guys who responded to my recent post for the homoerotic vampire/haunted house flick.  Am looking forward to hearing all the dark & imaginative songs. Is gonna be a fun job. With so many responses,  am hoping I can get all songs the film needs just from you guys via the gay music web lists.

Duane Simolke Image and link to his website Duane Simolke Updates

Science Fiction Novel Relates to Real Life.

Even while science fiction fans enjoy the latest Star Trek and Star Wars projects, some of them are looking for a work of science fiction that more closely reflects their internal discord over the realities of modern life on Earth.

Many websites have started adding information about just such a work: Duane Simolke’s novel, Degranon. While incorporating familiar sci-fi concepts like time travel and space travel, this fast-paced adventure also explores many of the issues that Simolke’s readers face.

The character Taldra, for example, struggles with the fact that she must conceal her ability to see in color on Valchondria, a planet where most people only see in black and white. She can’t understand why oppressive laws force her to hide her differences or lie about her true nature. Gays and people of color can easily relate to Taldra, especially in a novel where all the characters are people of color, and some of them are gay.

However, anyone can relate to the book’s multi-angled exploration of religious themes. While one extremist group (the Maintainers) oppresses religious expression and other forms of individuality, the invading extremist group (the Degrans) wants to oppress in the name of God. Worse yet, factions within the planet Degranon slaughter each other over differing scriptural interpretations. Still, two of the novel’s most likable and heroic characters are devout priests.

Simolke hopes that this novel, like some of his other books, will spark important discussions about individuality, faith, violence, oppression, and understanding. However, he mostly hopes that readers will enjoy his work.

Besides writing four books, Simolke also edited and co-wrote a fund-raiser for cancer research (The Acorn Gathering: Writers Uniting Against Cancer), and he wrote the preface to one of Ronald L. Donaghe’s best-selling novels (Lance). StoneWall Society http://www.stonewallsociety.com  honored Simolke with two 2002 Pride in the Arts Awards.

Ed Karvoski Jr. Updates!

PRESS CONTACT: edkarvoskijr@prodigy.net

NOTE TO EDITOR: The author grants permission to reprint the following interview.  For book-cover art and author photos, visit http://www.edkarvoskijr.com.

AUTHOR TALKS ABOUT HIS TROPHY BOYS: An Interview with Ed Karvoski Jr., Author of ‘Award Winning Men’


Q. How did the idea come about to write “Award-Winning Men”?

A. The idea came to me a few days after I quit a job.  I had worked for about a year as a reporter for a “non-gay” regional newspaper.  Mostly, I was writing feature stories and 

personality profiles about people who were “openly heterosexual.”  After leaving that job, I flew cross-country for a long weekend for a change of scenery, and I went for a long walk and meditated.  I concluded that I was the most happy a few years ago when I was researching my first book, “A Funny Time to Be Gay” [released in 1997].  For that book, I searched for openly gay and lesbian stand-up comics, interviewed them, and then wrote profiles.  I decided that I once again wanted to pick a group of folks within the GLBT community and write about them.  Then I got the idea to write about award-winning men of all types—ranging from pageant and contest titleholders to guys chosen as Volunteer of the Year for non-profit organizations.

Q. Were you interested in gay pageants and titleholders prior to working on the book?

A. I must admit that I wasn’t very aware of the various titleholders until a few years ago.  I was doing a book-signing in Massachusetts in 1998 to promote my second book, “What’s Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.?”  A guy asked me to sign his book, “To Mr. New England Bear.”  I was immediately curious about the title and began grilling him with questions.  Working on “Award-Winning Men” was a chance for me to pick up where I left off—posing more questions to more titleholders, as well as other types of honorees.

Q. Have you always wanted to be an entertainment & pop-culture reporter?

A. Yes—among other things.  Even when I was a young kid, I would tell people I wanted to become an entertainment journalist when I grew up.  Who else other than a “gay boy in-training” aspires to be a little bit Rex Reed and a little bit Barbara Walters?!  I actually started writing articles when I was about 12 years old for the Sonny & Cher Fan Club newsletter.  That was many, many years ago—right before Bob Mackie cleaned-up Cher .  And before I realized that Sonny was a Republican.  I still love Cher !

Q. You had the opportunity to profile some entertainers in “Award-Winning Men,” correct?

A. Yes, the book includes a couple of comedians, a couple of filmmakers, an actor, and several singers, from country to cabaret to rock.  Also, several erotic video stars.

Q. With such a diverse group of men covered in “Award-Winning Men,” did you find a common trait among them? 

A. They’re all “out” and proud.

Q. Have you always been “out” as a journalist and writer?

A. No.  Actually, many years ago I used to write for gay magazines under a nom de plume.  Nowadays, I realize that “nom de plume” is French for “writer in the closet.”

Q. Have you ever won any awards?

A. Not since high school.  Back then, my class voted me Best Actor, Best Artist and Most Creative.  Of course, that’s all code for Class Gay Boy!

Q. What’s your next project?

A. I have another new book coming out in the summer of 2002.  It’s called “The Movie Queen Quiz Book: A Trivia Test Dedicated to Fabulous Female Film Stars.”  It includes 600 fun questions about movie divas, past and present.  Despite the fact that the title contains the word “queen” and the subtitle contains the word “fabulous,” it’s not a gay-themed book, per se.  Though, it certainly has a gay sensibility.  After all—I wrote it! 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ed Karvoski Jr. is an entertainment & pop-culture reporter, and the author of four books.  He and his books have been featured in countless publications, including The New York Times, USA Weekend and Publishers Weekly.  Additionally, the Village Voice dubbed Karvoski "an insatiable vacuum cleaner in the show-biz closet."

To take a sneak peak at some of the guys in “Award-Winning Men,” visit http://www.EdKarvoskiJr.com.  The book is available at http://www.amazon.com and http://www.bn.com.

I am also STILL on the playlist at Cyberstationusa.com during the Songwriter's Network Saturday evening show @ 6-9pm EST.  I have also been aired down in Austin, Texas at 97.1fm KOOP radio station which played Same Time Next Year & Take Another Look on the Christmas program, The 12 Steps of Christmas.
COME ON DOWN-
NOW...I am also in a new music GAME SHOW through Cyberstationusa.com called ROCK SOLID PRESSURE.  I
stay in the game and continue to be played by getting votes during the show.  Essentially the singer/songwriter left standing after weeks of competition wins a huge prize package (yes...sort of like American Idol)...so if you can shoot an e-mail to
RockSolidPressure@yahoo.com
THIS Saturday 1/11/03...at 9pm EST...that would be HUGELY appreciated!!!  It would be AWESOME if you are

I'll send a reminder on this in the next week.
GIVE ME SOME ROOM-
I will be returning to The Elbow Room on Monday January 20th 8pm EST (SHARP) for a 30 minute set!  It's a $5.00 door/2 drink minimum...as usual and great space to come hear the songs that are getting great reviews and notice!  I would love to see you and your friends so "Spread the Word" and come give up some love, hear my music and have an adult beverage or TWO!

My web wizard, Roy, is putting a bunch of new things reviews, the ISWM award notice etc...up on my website, www.TerryChristopher.com so check it out every so often.  A really fun upcoming page is gonna include pictures from gigs around the awesome NYC area!
SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP-
Take Another Look is doing well in terms of sales and THANK YOU for those that have sent friends to hear it and buy it.  A few of you thought of the disc for a Christmas present and I REALLY appreciate that!  You can get a copy of Take Another Look at CDBaby.com, CDNow.com  /Amazon.com.  There will be a few more retail options to come in the new year...one of which is VERY EXCITING and hopefully will work out...it's under wraps right now...I'll keep you posted...fingers and eyes crossed!;-)
READ THE LABEL-
I have submitted to and am being considered by some indie labels for their artist roster.  Just the fact that they have asked for a press kit and disc after visiting my website, is a VERY positive sign.  Keep your fingers crossed...BUT...if nothing works
out...it's all for a reason and all good!
REVIEW THIS-
I have been very blessed with amazing reviews of my work which are posted or soon will be on my website. Roxanne Blanford, a freelance music reviewer and music lover, and Len of Stonewall Society gave some super support in their writing.  There are more to come from some European sources in the near future.
If you can believe it, that's it...FOR NOW!!! :-) 
As always I APPRECIATE the time you take from the busy action in your life to follow me on this path!  I am so grateful to each of you and your support and spreading the word in the many different ways you do.
E-mail is such a great tool for us INDIE artists and I appreciate so much YOU who pass this info on to friends that would want to know about the disc and all that is developing!

Outmusic NY Outloud Open Mic
By Jon Gilbert Leavitt

The shortest month of the year gave way to a jam-packed Outmusic NY Outloud Open Mic- perhaps one of the longest (and most crowded) on record.

 

It was, fitting in with the theme of February, a veritable box of Perugina Baci (that's Whitman's Sampler for those west of the Hudson River and east of the Bay Bridge)- filled with an array of candy for all the senses.

The father of queer music, TOM WILSON WEINBERG, hosted the night with warmth and an almost down-home feel.
Sporting his Outmusic Philadelphia T-shirt, he gave the night a sparkle; we could safely say he's the closest thing to a GLBT Will Rogers we have.

Back to the chocolates...there's nothing like the gooey center- rich, drippy and dramatic. Who would have thought ROGER KUHN could have such a Roy Orbison-esque range just by looking at his calm, guitar-toting demeanor? We know JUSTIN TRANTER's vocal range, but he knocked us out with his emotional range, running the gamut in 32 bars. BRYAN WASHINGTON also added a lot of emotion- with a real gooey, heart-wrenching center. Of course, one of the faves in
the box DEIAN McBRYDE belted out a chocolate symphony and vocally he's in top form- we're talking Godiva with a gold-leaf dusting.

Who doesn't love surprises...so there's TOSHI, who belted out his newest "Oui, oui." Definitely one of those nut centers that explodes pineapple. Newcomer NEAL, fresh from Ohio, is one destined to be a favorite; another virgin Outmusician was the duo LUFF. Two women, one guitar, one cello, one dynamic voice and one amazing sound. GREGORY DeJEAN was back and better than ever- milk chocolate with caramel and cajun spice (goes down smooth and packs a little punch). A nice surprise was MITCHELL HOWARD, in town from Pittsburgh with new CD in hand and rushing off to play Hannah's right after the C-Note; guess he's a Twix bar- a good, reliable favorite that can be split so there's enough to go around.

TWW wasn't the only classic in the room; ZONNA shared a brand spanking new song, with CORINNE CURCIO on
guitar (who also did a great solo number, too) after a hiatus of performing. Seeing and hearing ZONNA was definitely one of the centerpiece chocolates, the ones we gravitate towards first.

Other hidden treats lurked about- ANDREA WEISS not only read more from her lesbian rocker novel "Great Big Something," but also surprised us in saying her next article in TONE AND GROOVE magazine was about us and the open mic! Slam poet, artist and DYKE TV rep ANU RA brought the house down at the eserenelyhe night. She patiently waited all night- serenely sitting in a lotus position, but when she took the mic- fireworks! No doubt- smooth and sweet with an explosive liqueur center that'll bowl you over.

Sweeties unfortunately left in the box (due to time) were KEVIN BRENDLE, KEITH VARICK and TRIBUTE TO OSCAR. Thanks for your patience...and see you next month for sure. And the sweeties who were there adding their
applause and spirit...ED MANNIX, ANDREW BAILIS, RUBBERLEGS' GORDON SMITH and the man of the airwaves,
WRSU's BILL REALMAN STELLA.

Whew...a packed night. Happy Valentine's Day, see you all next month- and brush your teeth.

For Immediate Release

FREEDMAN FEATURED IN BILLBOARD/NEW RELEASE


 CHARLESTON, SC - January 23, 2003- From BILLBOARD Magazine to NBC News, critics everywhere are becoming strikingly aware of 23-year-old critically acclaimed bisexual singer/songwriter and activist, Skott Freedman.

Freedman's next album, "SOME COMPANY" (set for release on Tuesday, February 11th, 2003), is featured in BILLBOARD Magazine this week and hailed as "...notably personal and vividly cinematic." The young prodigy's fourth recording features his earlier roots of solely voice and piano. With countless performances, Freedman has been recognized for his talents across the globe (including a recent guest performance at the Sydney Opera House and Gay Games VI). Many are dubbing him the next Rufus Wainwright to break through to mainstream music.

Freedman will celebrate the new album's release with concerts in New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Charleston. A heavy tour will commence in the spring to support the new album.

Freedman, now residing in Charleston, South Carolina, is currently speaking and performing at colleges and pride festivals across the country. He has conducted various workshops and activities centering on awareness and acceptance of bisexuality. In 2000, Freedman began publicly speaking on bisexuality in response to the growing biphobia that has unfortunately become present in the LGBT community. This speaking has developed into his powerful lecture, "Battling Biphobia and Bringing Bisexuals Back to Both Communities", concentrating on breaking down common stereotypes and advocating for acceptance of bisexuals within the LGBT community.

Freedman has since become one of the most popular speakers on college campuses due to his unique presentation mixed with humor, insight, wisdom, and empowerment. He has been invited as a guest lecturer at several renowned institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, Kansas University, Michigan State University, Virginia Tech, and more. Freedman has appeared on NBC News, ABC's "Daybreak", international radio program "This Way Out", and in national publications such as Billboard Magazine and The Guide. Freedman also serves as the youngest Board Member to the Bisexual Foundation.

Freedman has been dubbed "a ferocious musical talent surrounded by a tender, poetic soul." (LesBiGay Radio). Delivering messages with a one-on-one intensity to a general audience, the independent bisexual singer/songwriter has built a solid reputation among audiences nationwide with his hauntingly beautiful, introspective songs. The Seattle Gay News raves, "Freedman sings like an angel (three and a half octave range), writes like a poet, and plays the piano like a bat out of hell."

BILLBOARD Magazine featured Freedman in February 2002 and hailed him as "one of the more compelling pop singer/tunesmiths we've heard in recent times...a star-in-waiting."

NBC News raves, "Opening people's minds..."
