Bishop Arts Theater Center Kicks off a Neo Soul Music Series

It looks like the Bishop Arts Theater Center will have a new music series kicking off in March. I received a email from Dallas' Neo Soul Cafe promoting 3 upcoming shows. The first show will be March 20 with Eric Roberson and Grammy nominated Wayna. These two artists will definitely set the tone for what will be a fantastic series of shows. Kudos to Neo Soul Cafe for keeping "the music that keeps your head right" in the Dallas spotlight.

Eric Roberson & Wayna 03.20.09
Fertile Ground & Choklate: 10.03.09
Sy Smith & Anthony David: 11.13.09

Soul Cities
with Nelson George

A VH1 Soul Original Program

'Soul Cities' fuses elements of a travel show, music interview series, and personal essay into half hour broadcast aimed at the adult audience that grew up with r&b/soul culture. Each week host Nelson George visits a great American city in search of its "soul" by visiting musically important sites, eating and drinking at local hang outs, interviewing musicians associated with the city, and turning viewers on to great parties and new music. The broadcast will blend travelogue footage of each Soul City with sit-down interviews and tips on places to shop and dine. The accompanying Soul Cities website will deepen viewers immersion in this soulful experience.

George, who co-executive produces VH1's Hip Hop Honors, is one of the nation's leading authorities on black music, so he brings years of knowledge and credibility to Soul Cities. The pilot is being shot in Los Angeles. Subsequent shows will emanate from musically important cities like Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco/Oakland.

George's company Urban Romances will be executive producing with Jac Benson's BlacJac Productions, who's done a variety for show for VH1.

Videos: Anthony Hamilton & Nikka Costa

My favorite male vocalist Anthony Hamilton is back with a new single & video "Cool" feat David Banner from his upcoming album "The Point of it All".






Also Nikka Costa's new video "Stuck On You" from her new album "Pebble To A Pearl" out now. Loves me some Ms. Costa. She's on tour, I missed her when she came thru Dallas. The album is pretty good, she stays true to her roots and gives you the smokey, funky soul she's known for.

New Musiq Soulchild Video feat. Mary J. Blige "If U Leave"

Here's Musiq's new single off his new album "On My Radio" in stores 12/09. The title track didn't far that well with his fans so he's come back with the bangin ballad.
