Music Spotlight
Rhythm City

From Motown (Marvin Gaye, Supremes, Stevie Wonder) to House (Dee-Lite, Robin S), from Disco (Donna Summer, Chic) to 80's Funk (Cameo, Janet Jackson). Soulful Rock and Reggae (Van Morrison, Bob Marley) plus the Ballads and Swing you desire (Sinatra, Billie Holiday). Rhythm City is your fresh alternative to everyday, formula orchestras. Experience an exquisite balance of Club-style energy and... elegance!

Featured vocalist Pamela Fernandez brings her experience as soloist with a world reknowned international fashion tour. She was lead vocalist on the Billboard-charting House Dance hit Kickin' in the Beat (Cutting Records).

St. Baldrick's Fundraiser

Smoking! A few months ago, we held a fundraiser to raise money for kids with cancer through the St. Baldrick's Foundation. As you can see from the photo, it was a lot of fun and a great success.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation has awarded more than $650,000 in fall grants to support pediatric cancer research. This funding combined with the $11.5 million awarded in June brings the total level of support to more than $12 million.

The foundation’s October grants are to provide institutions with resources they need to do more research – particularly to make more clinical trials accessible for children, as these are often their best hope for a cure.

Smoking with the Cubans!

Smoking! As part of their search for the Perfect Smoked Meat, the Laguardia Brothers—Jorge and Carlos—are traveling throughout the US, videoing their travels for upload on YouTube.

In April, we went to Wisconsin and St. Louis, in May it was Indiana's turn, and in June, we headed to Kansas City.

Stay tuned for updates and photos.
