Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen will host an event for his Ray of Hope Foundation at The Lansdowne Pub on Thursday, Nov. 19 to benefit Boston Centers for Youth and Families.

Allen, Celtics managing partner and co-owner Wyc Grousbeck, Grousbeck’s classic rock band French Lick, the Elan Trotman Band and a host of Boston sports all-stars and celebrities are teaming up to provide Thanksgiving dinners for Boston Centers for Youth and Families.

The Lansdowne Pub will open its doors for sports enthusiasts, Ray of Hope Foundation supporters and basketball fans alike. As part of the festivities, French Lick will perform their well-known classic-rock covers. Special surprise guests and other musical performances will highlight the event, which will also feature a live auction.

Last night I had the HONOR of background singing for the Beautiful and extremely talented Mrs. Shannon Allen. Elan Trotman invited me to come on board for this amazing event that was held at the Lansdowne Pub near Fenway Park. The show was one of the best musically and vocally that I have been a part of. We were accompanied by Web Roache on bass, Ryan Brown on keys, Anthony Steele on drums, Tyrone Chase on guitar, Danny McClain, Neil Letendre and myself on vocals.

At one point in the show Elan invited the players on stage with us to dance. Rasheed got up and did his two step and as Danny and I sang Big Babys name, he came out and graced us with an old school dance set. It was a surreal night, one of which I will never forget.

88.9FM WERS The Secret Spot Live Music Week’s Guest is……….ME!

I had the honor of being a guest on “The Secret Spot” last night on 88.9FM WERS last night. It’s live music week on 88.9 and I was the first guest to perform (applause please…and thank you). I performed “Leave Me Alone”, “Get Loud” and “Sweet Thing” by Mary J Blige. This is not your average radio show to say the least. First off the crew is beyond professional, charismatic and friendly and they get the job done right.

“Secret Spot” is a show that plays an eclectic mix of R&B classic to new aged soul and they do it in a way that makes you want to stay in your car and listen the whole night. It was a pleasure to do this interview and I hope to be back there again. Do your part and PLEDGE MONEY TO SUPPORT LOCAL RADIO AND LOCAL MUSIC CALL 6178248700

Last night on Communtiy Auditions on Channel 38, I competed against two other singer for the title of “Star of the Day” and……………………………I WON…I WON…I WON….YAYYYYYYYYY! The try-outs were such an amazing experience and the talent? remarkable. Performers of all ages and genres came out to show their talent and passion for music.

Check me out on next week’s edition of Community Auditions to see if I win!?!?!!?!?

IN OTHER NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had my 1x a month gig at Alchemist last night and everyone from my past present and future came out to support. The band was so in sync it was scary to think that we haven’t had an actual practice TOGETHER as a band in months….That goes to show the raw talent that these fellas have. We did new songs, new originals and 569 came up to perform with a killer rendition of “Lay Your Head On My Pillow”…. The climax of the show came at the end when it was kicked off with a remixed version of Bell Biv Devoe followed by multiple old school bangers. Performance -wise it was my best yet based on showman-ship, energy and soul. The crowd participated to the FULLEST especially when I sang Mary J Blige’s “The One”. Thank you to my band and the street team and to the fans old and new. The energy and love I receive from you allows me to continue to do all this music “stuff”. Next show October 1st @ Red Sky acoustic set FREE.
