Debbie's November 2011 E-News! - November 13, 2011

Hi kids! 

Once again, it’s been a few months since my last update – it seems I’m updating by season this year – so I hope you are all having a wonderful fall! Life has just been crazy lately and I feel like I’ve been on a non-stop version of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride - somebody stop this thing, I want to get off! I’m afraid I have to admit that I’ve been better at keeping up with my Facebook Music Page then my newsletter but that’s just because they made it so easy to do – damn you Zuckerberg! However, I have certainly not forgotten about the wonderful peeps on my mailing list! So here’s the special update just for you!

 

New Christmas song!

Just released last week and available at iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and more is my version of It Wasn’t His Child. When it was time for me to record my latest holiday song I really wanted to do something acoustic and this song immediately came to mind. Written by Donald Skip Ewing, it’s not as well known as many other songs but I like the many meanings to the lyrics. Jeff Marshall, who also produced the track, played the incredibly beautiful guitars you hear. The artwork is by my long time artist Orlando Rios of CBL Studios. You can hear the full version on my website and it will be appearing on several radio stations as well. I hope you enjoy this year's holiday single! You can listen to it here.

 

More new music!

Also available for your listening pleasure though currently not available for purchase is You Saved Me. I told you about this song in a previous newsletter when we were writing it. It’s now been recorded and delivered to the library where we hope it will be placed in a film or tv show. My co-writers on this song are Michelle Krell Malone and Jeff Marshall. You can listen to it here.

 

ASCAPlus Award! 

In September, I was awarded my 5th ASCAPlus Award for songwriting from the American Society of Composer and Publishers. It’s just a little acknowledgement of my work for the previous year but I’ll take it! 

 

As always your support is greatly appreciated. Remember all my cds are available at iTunesCDBaby, and Amazon. Please be sure to leave me a rating or review as this will increase my chances of having my music discovered by others. And of course, I also have the aforementioned Facebook Music Page for if you’d like to join me there. Big changes coming to the website before the new year as well! 

And one more thing before I go…

 

Carpe Kilimanjaro – a worthy cause!

My friend Zach Jordan who produced and directed my Good As Gone music video is working on a film that is both an incredible journey and a labor of love. As he explains it far better than I ever could, I hope you will take a minute to check it out here

 

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!!! - Debbie

Debbie's July 2011 E-News! - July 12, 2011

Hi Kids,

Hi kids!
Well it’s been a few months since the last update and things have been busy. As I mentioned in my last email I signed a deal to write songs for a film and tv library. Last week we started recording the first song written just for the library. It’s called You Saved Me and it’s a co-write with my long time keyboardist Michelle Krell Malone. We are working with my guitarist Jeff Marshall who is also producing the track. I hope to have it done in the next few weeks and even though it’s for the library you will be able to hear it on my website as soon as it’s done. I’ll keep you posted on that. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also last week I found out that I placed 2 songs in the Top 100 Finalists of the 2010 Great American Song Contest. The songs are I'm Leaving the Fairytale Behind, which I co-wrote with Athena Marie; and Believe a co-write with Rye Randa & Jeff Foxworth. Both songs are in the Pop category and I was thrilled -and a little shocked - to have 2 songs chosen in the same category for the same year!
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Thursday, I’ll be joining my pal Patricia Bahia at her cd release show at Genghis Cohen to sing back up vocals on one of the songs from her brand new cd Long Road Home. I’m looking forward to the show and am so happy to have been asked to join her.

Debbie's December 2010 E-News! - December 15, 2010

Hi kids! 

I can't believe how fast the holidays have come upon me this year. I meant to send you an update at the beginning of the month and now next weekend is Xmas...yikes! Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope that is a warm and wonderful and filled with friends and family!

So the really big news is that I've signed a deal with Studio 51 Music to represent some of my songs to film and tv as part of their Noise Cloud collection. Noise Cloud will be exclusively distributed by Pacifica Music. Studio 51 has had major success in providing music for Harpo Productions and is currently heard by approx 120 million viewers on a daily basis with over 10,000 plays annually. So let’s keep our fingers crossed my songs get picked up! 

I'm so excited about this opportunity. I've given them 3 songs already: Chasing Ghosts and Man Free Weekend, which I co-wrote with Alison Block; and Sounds Like Rain, which was co-written with Sunny Hilden and John DePatie and as you may remember appears on my Good As Gone cd. What I'm really looking forward to is writing specifically for the library. The writing has already begun and I'll absolutely keep you posted. As with all my music you will be able to hear it on my website as it becomes available!

And for the holidays, don't forget you can still get my Winter Wonderland cd or digital single available at CD Baby and iTunes!  Hallelujah, Good As Gone and Rustic Heart are also available thru those sites. Link to CD Baby page; Link to iTunes page.

Also available exclusively on my website is autographed merchandise including: signed cds and limited edition posters! If you order before Monday, Dec 20th I should have no problem getting the items to you via 2-day priority mail by Xmas Eve (US orders only). I'll even pick up the cost of postage! Click on the Merchandise page and then on the Signed CD's and Posters link.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and new year! As always, I greatly appreciate your support!

Debbie

Hi kids! Here's the news for Sept.: The guys and I have a show this Thurs at Genghis Cohen, which you can view live on UStream if you aren't in the area and two new songs, Believe and Memory Lane are up on the website. So let's get to it!

Show Details: Nette Radio 3rd Thursdays at Genghis Cohen

Location: 740 North Fairfax, Los Angeles, CA 90046 (click on the link above for map)

2 New Songs are up on the site! The first is called Believe and is a pop song, which I co-wrote with Rye Randa & Jeff Foxworth. As many of you know Rye produced both of my full-length cds as well as my new single, Hallelujah but this is the first time we have actually written together. Rye and Jeff have been working together as The Ontic producing music for film/tv including the soundtrack to the Shawn White documentary Don't Look Down, which they did with Michael Johns. I had a great time working with them both. I am so very proud of this song, it is both a departure from the country sound of my cds and a return to the big vocal sound of the bands I grew up with.

The second song is Memory Lane, a romantic Americana style song, which I co-wrote with the lovely and talented Courtney Leigh Heins. With production/drums by Sebastian Sheehan of VAVV Studios, guitars/mandolyn/dobro by Bryan Dobbs and harmonica by my good pal Clem Jeffreys, we are thrilled with how this come out and actually have two versions, mine and Courtney's. Mine is up on the site now but I'll have Courtney's up as well very soon. I hope you will check out both songs and let me know what you think.


Hallelujah single now available on iTunes and I'm offering a special incentive to buy and review it! This offer will end soon! My recording of Hallelujah is now available at iTunes and I'm offering a very special bonus to anyone who buys the track through iTunes AND leaves me a written review. Spend 99 cents, leave me a written review and I'll send you a signed copy of either my Rustic Heart or Good As Gone cd. What?! That's Amazing! Yes, it is! So here's what you do, buy the track and leave me a written review. Then send me the email receipt from iTunes along with a note that includes the review you wrote. Once it's posted and I can match it to your email, I'll send you the signed cd of your choice. (Don't worry, none of you personal info shows up on the iTunes receipt other than your address, which I need anyway in order to send you your cd. Star ratings are greatly appreciated but in order to receive a free cd only written reviews count). Any reviews on any of your favorite music sites are greatly appreciated!

Debbie's E-News April 2010 - April 12, 2010

Hi All!

Hope you haven't forgotten me! I know it's been awhile.  I have some new songs for you up on the website, some web radio interviews coming up next month and this new fangled newsletter that I hope is getting to you and that you can actually read!

Listen to new songs on my website now!

There are several new songs up on the site to check out. I'm also trying to add all the stories behind the songs for you enjoy.

The first new song is my version of the song Hallelujah written by Leonard Cohen and recorded by damn near everyone but I didn't know that when I first heard it so you'll have to check out the story. I recorded my version with producer Rye Randa. My dad says it's the best thing I've ever done...so who's gonna argue with that! 

The next song is I'm Leaving the Fairytale Behind a co-write between me and the very talented Athena Marie and sung by the equally as talented Jenna O'Gara, what a voice! Producer Dan Marfisi really brought it to life for us. I am so proud of this song.

The final new song is State of Grace a blues number based on a poem by my pal Charles Clifford Brooks III and co-written with Sunny Hilden and John DePatie. I still need to write the story behind this one..

Web radio interviews in May!

I have a couple of live interviews coming up in May that hope that you can tune in!  

First up is The Michael Nayt Show on Thursday, May 6, 2010 at 6pm EST and 3pm PST. The web address is  www.blogtalkradio.com/the-unusual

Then on Friday, May 28, 2010 at 10pm EST and 7pm PST I'll be on the air with Lorraine McCathy and Live Music Media. Lorraine has been playing my video on her TV show in the NYC area. The web address is www.lmme.info/webradio

There is some new merchandise up on my site as well. You can now purchase limited edition signed posters from both Good As Gone and Rustic Heart. Signed cds will be available shortly as well. As always, thank you so much for your support. You can always contact me at debbie_hennessey@hotmail.com or www.debbiehennessey.com

Debbie’s E-News November 2009! - October 22, 2009

*** Winter Wonderland – My First Holiday Recording!

*** Updated Website – New Look & New Features!

*** ASCAPlus Award – My 3rd One!

*** One Important Request!

*** Did You Know? 

Hi Everyone!

I know it has been several months since you’ve heard from me but I honestly needed a break from the ‘biz’ side of things so I’ve been trying to give myself that time. However, I have not been a complete slacker! This summer I recorded my first holiday song and have some more music on the way by early next year. I’ve also updated the look of my website so I hope you will check that out. Here’s the latest.

*** Winter Wonderland – My First Holiday Recording!

I’ve wanted to record some holiday songs forever and finally had the chance to do one this summer. It was about 100 degrees here in LA when we recorded it but we managed to get in the spirit. It is a pop version of the holiday classic Winter Wonderland with lush strings and jingle bells – the jingle bells definitely made it feel colder in the studio. The song was arranged and produced by Dan Marfisi and mastered by multi-grammy winner Gavin Lurssen. Good friend Orlando Rios once again created some wonderful artwork for me. You can hear the full version of it on my website. The song is currently available for download purchase at iTunes for $.99 and the cd version with artwork is available for $1.99 from CD Baby. http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/DebbieHennessey Please note this is a one-song item.

*** Updated Website – New Look & New Features!

My website has a new look as well as some new features. I love the new colors and style. There is now a music player at the top of each page that you can click on and I’ve preloaded it with some new and favorite songs to listen to while you are checking out the site. There’s still more to come so be sure to check back.

*** ASCAPlus Award – My 3rd One!

Just last month I received my 3rd ASCAPlus Award for songwriting from the American Society of Composers and Publishers. Well, thank you very much Mr. umm ASCAP! 

***One Important Request!

If you have an iTunes, Amazon or CD Baby account or any other favorite site where my music is available I could really use some reviews or ‘stars’ or thumbs up, whatever they have, I’ll take ‘em!

Here’s my new favorite quote from Paul Stanley of Kiss, “File-sharing, that's like me stealing your car and telling you I'm sharing your transportation."  Which kind of leads me to this…

*** Did You Know? 

Even my closest friends are always surprised to find out how the music biz works…excuse me, doesn’t work. Here’s something that has been going on since the first radio station played the first recorded song and it’s not cool. For over 80 years corporate radio has not paid one cent to artists when they play their song over the air - the same songs that attract millions of listeners and millions of advertising dollars to their stations. This is the only business that gets away with this. Can you think of any other business that doesn’t have to pay its suppliers for their product? Can you imagine grocery stores not paying farmers for their fruits and veggies or your favorite Target expecting to get all their various products at no cost?

Bill HR848 The Performance rights act was introduced in Congress in 2007 and just this week past the Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill would finally close this loophole in the copyright law and ensure that AM and FM radio fairly compensate artists when their music is played on the radio. We not talking about a lot of money here, some stations would pay as little as $500 a year! Now the National Assn of Broadcasters would like you all to believe that they sell millions of records for artists…they don’t!!! That is a huge myth. Why would you buy something you can hear for free over and over again? Anyway, please, please, please visit the Music First Coalition website to get the facts and send an email or call your representatives and tell them you support this bill. http://musicfirstcoalition.org/

Thank for listening and for all your support. It is greatly appreciated.

*** Cancerpalooza ’09! – May 19th @ Molly Malone’s! ***

Healing Music Night – May 24th Honors Veterans! Hi all! Here are a couple of great shows for May. As I mentioned in my last email, I’ll only be doing a few live shows this year so I hope you can make it out to at least one. Joining me for both shows will be guitarists John DePatie & Jeff Marshall.

*** Cancerpalooza @ Molly Malone’s May 19th at 8:00pm!

Please join me, Brandon Schott, Charlie Lustman, Denise Vasquez & Michael Tiernan on May 19th at Molly Malone’s for a very special Cancer Charity Event to benefit I'mTooYoungForThis.org! Brandon, Charlie, Denise and Michael are all cancer survivors and kick ass musicians! This is going to be a fun and informative evening. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door, even if you can't attend you can make a donation online. Of course the evening is FREE to cancer patient survivors! Please visit http://cancerpalooza.i2y.com/ and http://www.imtooyoungforthis.org Please, please, please buy your tickets as early as possible! If you are a patient survivor there is a FREE ticket option on the site for you as well. We are also looking for volunteers to help out on the night of the show so let me know if you’d like to help! I’m Too Young For This is an organization that was founded by concert pianist and composer Matthew Zachary. At the ripe ole age of 21 Matthew was diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer and told he’d likely never perform again. Well that was back in 1995 and not only is Matthew going strong as a musician and performer but he has put together a comprehensive and collaborative organization and website for adolescents and young adults and their families who are battling cancer. In fact in 2007, Time magazine named www.imtooyoungforthis.org one of its Best 50 Websites for that year.

In fact in 2007, Time magazine named www.imtooyoungforthis.org one of its Best 50 Websites for that year. I'm Too Young For This connects adolescents and young adults with tons of great support services and opportunities that people just don’t know are available.

*** WRITING & RECORDING NEW MUSIC IN ’09!

*** THE SONG ”DARE ME” APPEARS ON MAKE-A-WISH CHARITY CD!

*** HEAR ME ON BACKUP VOCALS FOR CLASSIC SEEDS SONG!

Hi all! It’s been awhile since I sent you an update so I hope that you are all doing well and that 2009 is off to a good start for you. I had a quiet holiday here in LA and was very happy to ring in a new year. With all that is going on in the world I’m sure that you are as focused as I am on who and what is really important to each of you. So turn off the news, it will be there later. Make some plans with friends, family and pets. Do something for yourself that is relaxing and relatively inexpensive, go to the movies, read a book, listen to music…especially listen to music! ;-)

*** WRITING & RECORDING NEW MUSIC IN ’09!

I’ll be spending a lot of this year writing and recording new songs, mostly for possible film and tv placement. At the moment I don’t have any plans for a new full-length cd but I may do an EP or release some songs as singles so you can have your own versions. I will certainly keep you posted on that. In the meantime you can listen to the new songs anytime you like here on my website: http://www.debbiehennessey.com/music.html

*** SONG ”DARE ME” APPEARS ON MAKE-A-WISH CHARITY CD!

I was recently asked by fellow songwriter Philip Watson to provide a song for a charity cd he was putting together with Moiko Records to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. After sending them some songs, they chose Dare Me, which I co-wrote with Richard Wold, Stan Webb and Renee Carly. The cd is called A Wish For Country and the download version is available now on Moiko Records. The cd version will be available next month. Please check out these two links to find out more and to purchase one song or the whole cd! Every bit helps. http://moikonetwork.ning.com/profile/AwishforCountryCharityCD http://www.cdfreedom.com/artists/moikorecordsinc.1/catalog/awishforcountry/

***HEAR ME ON BACKUP VOCALS FOR SKY SAXON!

I mentioned this recording to you quite a while back but I have just found out that it is available. I recorded backup vocals for guitarist/producer Danny B. Harvey for a new version of The Seeds classic song Pushing Too Hard This was for original Seeds’ singer Sky Saxon’s cd The King of Garage Rock, which Danny produced. The track I’m on includes Clem Burke (Blondie) and Elliot Easton (The Cars). I’m only on the one song but check it out. Again, you can just purchase the one song if you want. Here are some links: iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=283902372&id=283902369&s=143441 Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00187PN92/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp Danny B.

***NEW INTERVIEW THIS SATURDAY ON MUSIC TO GO USA!

***HEAR THE NEW SONG CHASING GHOSTS!

***WORTHY CAUSE: ONLY $1 FOR KATIE’S VOICE 500Kin365.org

Hi all! Seems like it’s been awhile since I sent you an update. I hope you are all doing well. I have just a couple of things for you this month. So let’s get to it!

***NEW INTERVIEW THIS SATURDAY ON MUSIC TO GO USA!

This Saturday, October 18 at 7pm EST/4pm PST you can listen to an extended interview I just recorded with radio host Bert Gagnon for his weekly show Songwriter’s Network, which airs on www.MusicToGoUSA.com. We had a great talk and I hope you will check it out. It also marks the radio debut of the new song Chasing Ghosts (see below). The station runs 24/7 and you can request songs at anytime. Bert's show airs every Saturday night from 6-11pm EST for the best in indie music and interviews. www.MusicToGoUSA.com.

***HEAR THE NEW SONG CHASING GHOSTS!

I am very happy to tell you about a new song that I co-wrote with the lovely and talent Ms. Alison Block. Guitarist Jeff Marshall produced and recorded the track with drums by Charlie Waymire. We are really proud of this one so I hope you’ll stop by my website and check it out www.debbiehennessey.com/music.html. It’s also available on my Myspace page www.myspace.com/debbiehennessey. There are links on both sites for Alison, Jeff and Charlie, so check those out as well. Please drop me a note and let me know what you think of Chasing Ghosts.

***WORTHY CAUSE: ONLY $1 FOR KATIE’S VOICE/500Kin365.org

I was recently made aware of the incredible voice and music of Indie folk-rock singer/songwriter Katie Reider who passed away this summer from a rare tumor. Katie’s first cd came out in 1998 and she was just reaching the peak of her music career when she developed a tumor in her upper left jaw that progressed into her sinus, skull base and left eye orbit. Over the course of one year, the rare facial tumor took away her sight in one eye, her voice, and most importantly her ability to perform. So with the help of Katie loyal fans www.500Kin365.org was created to introduce 500,000 people to Katie Reider, her music and her story over the next year. For only $1 you can download nine of Katie’s songs. Just $1 and 100% of the proceeds go to a fund to help support Katie's family with the expenses that accumulated during her illness. Katie had two young children with her devoted life partner Karen, whom she had been with for 10 years. Her voice and music are truly beautiful and I hope you will take the opportunity to get to know this genuine talent who was taken far too soon. Please go to www.500kin365.org for more info. That’s it for now. Thanks again for all the wonderful support. take care, Debbie http://www.debbiehennessey.com & www.myspace.com/debbiehennessey "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

*** Watch Lowen & Navarro video and help those with ALS!

Eric Lowen & Dan Navarro have been writing and performing together for over 20 years. With their unique harmonies, honest lyrics and beautiful melodies they have influenced countless singers and songwriters and entertained thousand of fans. You no doubt know their song ‘We Belong’, which was a huge hit for Pat Benatar but that is merely the tip of the iceberg in their songwriting history. Over the last few years Eric and Dan have become tireless teachers and advocates of those living with ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Their new album ‘Learning to Fall’ will be out this summer and the first video is now available “with 30-voice ALS Choir including patients (PALS), friends, family and caregivers, all joining in song to make a point. That life is beautiful with or without a serious disease” Please take a few minutes to be inspired by this incredible song and Eric’s example of how life should be lived each moment. http://lownav.c.topica.com/maalI5KabHEyLb7U3i3baehoil/

*** Check out new cds from Eve Selis and my good buddies The Middle Class!

Finally, I have a couple of new cds for you to check out. The first is ‘Angels and Eagles’ by Eve Selis. I had the pleasure of seeing Eve and her band perform the entire cd this past weekend and I was blown away. Eve is an incredible singer, songwriter and performer. If you have the chance to see her live, run don’t walk to the show! In the meantime, please check out her music. I promise you will love it! http://www.eveselis.com/ My good friends The Middle Class have finally released their first cd ‘Deep In Debt’. They have created a truly unique Folksy/Bluesy/Americana sound by incorporating great harmonies, and interesting instruments such as washboard and spoons, along with more traditional harmonica and acoustic guitars, while their witty lyrics touch on all kinds of different subjects. They have created a fresh take on traditional music. Please give it a listen. http://www.myspace.com/themiddleclass2 I know, my newsletters can be a bit ‘wordy’ but I do appreciate you taking the time to listen.

*** BACK FROM NASHVILLE WITH A NEW SONG!

*** GOGIRLS MUSIC FEST BENEFITS KITTEN RESCUE!

*** WOMEN’S RADIO INTERVIEW! *** SITES TO CHECK OUT!

Hello friends – lot’s of fun stuff for October!

*** BACK FROM NASHVILLE WITH A NEW SONG!

Nashville was wonderful! My friend, songwriter Renee Carly joined my on the trip and we found the people to be truly lovely and the scenery both historic and beautiful. I was finally able to meet in person with the publishers and some of the songwriters that I’ve been working with via phone and email for years. I was able to see some friends who make now Nashville their home and I definitely made some new friends. I got to play a few songs at Douglas Corner with my friend Paul Reeves and one of his players, Steve - they rocked. We visited a couple of top-notch recording studios. We made it to the Bluebird where we saw some amazing writers whose collective resumes look like a copy of the Billboard Top 20 chart. We went honky-tonkin’ on Broadway, which was a blast, didn’t matter what size joint you went into the bands were all rocking! Visited the Country Music Hall of Fame - they’ve done a great job there with all the interactive displays. They also have kicking cd selection in the gift store. Back on Broadway, got me some new cowboy boots, of course. But one of the best things I did was write a new song with Richard Wold (co-writer Good As Gone) and Stan Webb (co-writer This Ain’t About You). These guys are legends and two of the nicest people ever. It was an honor and an education but most of all it was a hell of a lot of fun to sit in a room with them and come up with new song. Renee joined in and in just a few hours we had a fun little ditty called Dare Me. I’ve begun work on the demo and should have it up on the website for you to hear by November. I’ll keep you posted.

*** GOGIRLS MUSIC FEST BENEFITS KITTEN RESCUE!

Ok, if you know anything about me you know this one is really important to me…On Saturday, October 20th from 2pm to 10pm the GoGirls Music Fest lands in Los Angeles. Madalyn Sklar, founder of GoGirlsMusic.com, created GoGirlsMusicFest, a series of annual showcase charity events across the US. This year’s LA event is to benefit Casitas Hotel for Cats - Kitten Rescue’s Private No-Kill Shelter kittenrescue.org. The LA event will be held in the beautiful courtyard at Maude Carrin, 7427 Beverly Blvd., Los Angles, CA 90036. $10 includes music by 11 different artists, food, drinks and a free GoGirls Music Fest 07 cd to the first 100 guests. Performances included: Zoe Scott, Crazy Aunt Mary, Nellie Bly, Kelly’s Lot, Melineh Kurdian, Aura, Annette Conlon (Annette is busting her butt putting all this together), Hobbyhorse, Elke Robitaille and Jennifer Jayden and me! I go on at 6pm with guitarist Jeff Marshall – we’ll be playing the new song, Dare Me – but come early and stay late, I’m going to! For more info and shows http://www.myspace.com/gogirlsmusicfestla

*** WOMEN’S RADIO INTERVIEW

In case you missed it, the interview I did for the show Licks with host Liana Ramos is now airing on Women’s Radio. I think this is one of the best interviews I’ve done and I hope you will check it out. Below is the direct link it should start to play automatically. It begins with a bit of the song Good As Gone and then goes into the interview. http://www.womensradio.com/content/templates/?a=1989&z=0
