Joe Magnetico & Associates Announces New Signings!
Ryan DeHues started his professional career by winning Pat Boone's “Search For America’s Next Great Crooner” contest when he was only a 16 yr. old Mid-Michigan high school student. He was immediately signed to Pat's recording company, "The Gold Label" where he has released two albums produced by Boone. Since then he has appeared on national TV and radio, with world-wide magazine recognition. He has performed coast to coast both in jazz clubs with small combos and on the concert stage with big bands and orchestras. Listen and see more of Ryan by Clicking here.
Kirsten Holly Smith is best known for her one-woman musical, Stay Forever: The Life and Music of Dusty Springfield, which Smith also wrote. In the play, a somewhat fictionalized biography of the legendary 1960's British lesbian singer Ms. Dusty Springfield, Smith performs 14 of Springfield's hit songs, which are integrated into the narrative in the style of a jukebox musical. The play dramatizes the singer's career and the tension between Springfield's public image and private life. For more on Kirsten vist her website by Clicking here.
Bookers & Talent Buyers
Travel Back to The '60's for an evening of bubblegum rock featuring
performances by Ron Dante of the Archie's, The 1910 Fruitgum Company,
and special guest Joey Levine original lead singer of the Ohio
Express.
Ron Dante is best known as the lead singer for the fictional cartoon
band The Archie's, as well as the one-hit-wonder group The Cuff Links.
"Sugar, Sugar," The Archie's' best-loved song, topped the Top 40
charts for weeks and was voted Song of The Year in 1969. "Tracy," The
Cuff Links' biggest hit, stormed the charts just as the popularity of
"Sugar, Sugar" began to fade. In addition to his vocal work, Dante has
also served as a producer for Barry Manilow, Cher, Dionne Warwick, Pat
Benatar, Irene Cara, Ray Charles, John Denver, and other major
recording artists.
The 1910 Fruitgum Company virtually exploded onto the national music
scene in 1968 with its first single "Simon Says." The song quickly
ascended the charts, and the album of the same name reached No. 2 in
the U.S. and topped charts in the United Kingdom. The band followed up
this initial success with another smash hit record, 1-2-3 Red Light
(1968). By the time it released the Gold-certified record Indian Giver
(1969), The 1910 Fruitgum Company had amassed a treasure trove of
prototypical bubblegum rock to its now-legendary name.
If a single voice were most closely associated with bubblegum music,
that voice belongs to Joey Levine. He was responsible for writing and
singing many of the classic songs that defined the bubblegum music era
of the late '60s and early '70s and worked extensively with The Ohio
Express. Among his quintessential hits are "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,"
"Down at Lulu's," and "Chewy Chewy."
One band , no set changes. Great show. 2 hour and 15 minute show.
