Brooke Moriber To Perform LIVE at TWO 2019 NY Fashion Week Events February 10th & 16th

With excitement already brewing for Fashion Week 2019 and designers get ready to unveil their latest collections, acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Brooke Moriber is gearing up to do some unveiling of her own. With her upcoming Cry Like A Girl album set to drop later this year, she’ll showcase some of the new music -- which she recently completed recording in Nashville, Tennessee, with legendary producer Fred Mollin (Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Shawn Colvin) at the helm -- during the Mark De Alwis Salon "Meals on Heels" Hair & Fashion Show Sunday, February 10th AND the SMGlobal Catwalk at Manhattan’s Watson Hotel (440 W. 5th Street, New York, NY 10019) on Saturday, February 16th at 6PM!

Cry Like A Girl is not only produced by a music industry legend but was also mixed by 5 time Grammy Winner Chris Lord-Alge (Carrie Underwood, Of Mice And Men, Bruce Springsteen). With Parade Magazine hosting the exclusive premiere of the first single and title track, they called it a “high-powered Americana-infused track with an empowering message" and noting that "Moriber makes a compelling case for sharing raw emotion with strong vocals and a spot-on delivery”. Popdust were also swift to jump on board, with the outlet proclaiming Brooke a “powerhouse”.

Cry Like A Girl is a deeply meaningful statement for Moriber who explains, “I named the album after that particular song because it has such a clear message that embodies the collection as a whole. It’s a statement about self-discovery and the strength that comes with embracing your emotions and allowing yourself to heal and grow. Human beings are resilient and I believe music can be the best reminder of that. I hope that the journey for the listeners can be as empowering and healing as it was for me to write it.”

As excitement for the global fashion industries latest trends combines with anticipation for Moriber’s latest music, the two worlds will collide at the Mark De Alwis Salon "Meals on Heels" Hair & Fashion Show on Sunday, February 10th and the SMGlobal Catwalk Fashion Week 2019 event Saturday, February 16th at the Watson Hotel!

Alt/Indie-Pop Recording Artist Vaeda Black To Perform at National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) 2019 - Saturday, January 26th

Following her latest video release “Suicide Love” being hailed as “...thought-provoking and provocative” (The Daily Listening) and a “captivating vocal performance” (Wonky Sensitive) and much more - Singer/Songwriter Vaeda Black is getting ready to pack her bags and head West for a performance at the 2019 NAMM Show on Saturday, January 26th at 4:00PM on the NAMM Pioneer Pro Audio Arena Plaza Stage!

On her excitement for the show, Black says “I’m looking forward to performing in front of a crowd of complete strangers! I love getting feedback from new listeners”. Along with this being her first trip to California, she’s grateful to her bandmates for pushing her to continually get her music out there. “My music director/pianist James works in the industry and got me to apply for the spot. I’m so grateful for everything he and my band do for me. The guys are all psyched to be at NAMM” she says with a laugh “Everyone should come with an open mind and expect a ton of rhythmic flailing on my part (if you don’t understand what I mean by that, you probably haven’t seen me perform. Let’s just say I can’t dance)”.

The performance will feature Black on vocals along with her band which includes James Sajeva (Music Director/Keys), Eddie Matthews (Bass), and Andrew Harts (Drums) - all seasoned pros straight from the NYC music scene.

With the release of her latest single, “Suicide Love,” Vaeda Black takes the juxtaposition of two seemingly opposite topics and weaves them together to create a dark love story that illustrates the idea of being vulnerable and “showing yourself to another person and letting them love you.”

She says, “It actually started with a text message from my ex-boyfriend while we were together probably about a year ago. I don’t remember exactly what we were talking about, but he wrote ‘that’s called suicide, love.’ Something about those two words next to each other really struck me; they’re so different. I kept thinking it would be such an interesting way to express love, passion and deep wanting, so I wrote a song around it.” The combination of those two distinct feelings gives the song a truly unique sound and style.

Despite the title, and it’s darker atmosphere, Black says “it’s really a love song. Being vulnerable is hard for a lot of people, but I want this song to represent the good things that come from showing yourself to another person and letting them love you.” In an age where many artists stick to upbeat, pop love tunes, Black isn’t afraid to shake up stereotypes and create a sound distinctly her own, something “Suicide Love” showcases perfectly. With her blend of indie, alternative, and a little soul, listening to her songs comes as a refreshing break from some of the more mainstream styles.
