At 17, Bobby Rydell was the toast of American Bandstand - the kid from Italian South Philly with the smoothest voice, the highest pompadour, and the sweetest smile. And there were those hits: "Wild One," "Volare," and "Forget Him," to name a few. He was far more than just a teen idol. Bobby's voice and boy next door charm earned him a spot singing, acting, and dancing with Ann-Margret in the hit film Bye Bye Birdie. His phrasing and musicianship prompted Frank Sinatra to anoint him as his favorite young singer, and his comedic talents made him a nighttime fixture during the golden age of TV variety shows.Bobby Rydell's career spans six decades and encompasses every area of the entertainment world. His debut in the late '50s as a rock and roll teen idol lead to starring roles in such hit films as "Bye Bye Birdie" and plays such as "West Side Story." Bobby has made countless network TV appearances throughout the world on shows like Ed Sullivan, Jack Benny, George Burns, Milton Berle, Perry Como and of course American Bandstand. He was also a semi-regular on The Red Skelton Hour for many years. Working with the "greats" of comedy, Bobby was able to develop an uncanny comedic gift.TEEN IDOL ON THE ROCKS is just one aspect further confirming Rydell's still explosive career. Aside from continuing to tour around the world as a "saloon swingin'" solo artist and with fellow South Philly "Golden Boys" Frankie Avalon and Fabian in a road show with over 30 years of staying power, Rydell will be gracing the silver screen next year in Taylor Hackford's The Comedian with Robert De Niro .TEEN IDOL ON THE ROCKS is available NOW at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and book stores throughout America. Autographed copies and books with customized personal messages can be ordered exclusively at www.bobbyrydellbook.com.

So many years have passed,” sing the Blues Magoos on the title track to Psychedelic Resurrection, their first new studio album in four decades. “But now we’re back and on this journey. ” The legendary psychedelic band from the Bronx, have returned with the release scheduled for October 14 on Kayos. Original members, lead vocalist/keyboardist Ralph Scala and vocalist/guitarist Peppy Castro, along with drummer Geoff Daking, who joined prior to the recording of the band’s hit debut album, Psychedelic Lollipop, were joined by newest additions, Mike Ciliberto on guitar and Peter Stuart Kohman on bass. The album also features cameos by original bassist Ronnie Gilbert and lead guitarist Mike Esposito, who also became part of the band before releasing their debut album, which went to #21 on the Billboard Top 200, thanks to the massive Top 5 single, “(We Ain’t Got Nothin’ Yet),” re-recorded for the new album.“Being a Blues Magoo is like taping into my childhood. Rock till we Drop!” states Castro. “This is what we do/We’ll take you in a new direction,” Scala promises on Psychedelic Resurrection, and it is both a reminder of where they came from and a bold step into reclaiming a classic garage-punk-rock sound that has been imitated by everyone from the White Stripes and the Black Keys to Ty Segall and Parquet Courts. The Blues Magoos’ November 1966 debut album represented a landmark of the kind of garage punk that anticipated bands like Television and the Ramones, with the band’s cover of John D. Loudermilk’s “Tobacco Road” included on Lenny Kaye’s original, influential 1972 Nuggets album, and their “We Ain’t Got Nothin’ Yet” as part of the 1998 re-issue.

“If you loved the vulnerable songwriting soul of Johnny Thunders, but not his armies of silly, clownish imitators, with their jack-off hammer-on solos and Nikki Sixx hair-do’s, and compulsory, make-believe, drug-problems, NEW YORK JUNK are still makin’ the style of raunchy, thoughtful, raucous, gutter punk, with real emotions, that we always duff our crumpled, pink fedoras to. If you prefer Iggy and Lou Reed To Adam Bomb and Vinnie Vincent, Joe Sztabnik is your main-man. Others may have puffs of pink smoke and purple polka dotted blouses. NEW YORK JUNK got soul, perspective, honesty, a point of view. Joe Sztabnik may have been friends with all the good ole geezers of The Lower East Side’s Past, but what makes him special, in addition to his outstanding musicianship; he’s a bastion of guitar, is that he’s his own dude. He’s a sovereign, authentic, unflinching storyteller, clearly reveling in a hard-earned sense of freedom. His songs possess a survivor’s depth and maturity that the die young crowd never got to achieve.

NEW YORK JUNK are doing it their way, sayin’ their own thing, and that’s so rare, with all the gimmicky joke bands and sarcastic social climbing, ironic hipsters. It ain’t no put-on with Cynthia and Joe, they are just effortlessly eminating genuine coolness and giving consolation, inspiration, comfort, and courage to loads of us scattered punk-rock die-hards and culture-war refugees. It’s not something they do, it’s something they are. Just by playin’ out, writing real songs, being themselves, they’re lifting the whole standard. Just a tiny light is stronger than oceans of inky-black darkness. NEW YORK JUNK are puttin’ the soul back into The City. REMINDING people.” Sugarbuzz Magazine

Internationally renowned singer-songwriter Candice Night, who has just released a solo album Starlight Starbright, inspired by motherhood and her children  — Autumn (5 years old) and Rory (3 years old). Her husband — legendary guitarist and Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Ritchie Blackmore -- contributed guitar on this offering. Not only did Candice write songs on the album, but her daughter Autumn (who obviously absorbed her parents’ creativity) wrote the song “Lullaby In The Night” (music video below), as well as several short stories included in the booklet. 

A collection of ethereal lullabies that transport the listener to a place of magic and innocence, the songs of Starlight Starbright have also had a calming affect on children dealing with sensory issues, hyperactivity, and learning disabilities at several schools.
