Little known fact about me; when I was a kid, my two career choices were
Musician or Astronaut! Well, I'm not going to space...yet, but I am SO
excited to be singing under the stars this Friday night at the <a href="http://www.custerobservatory.org/index.html" target="_new"><b>Custer Observatory</b></a> in beautiful Southold.<br />
<br />
I'll be joined by my talented buddy David Warner Cook on guitar AND,
we've confirmed that weather permitting, there will be a private
audience scope viewing! I may be more excited about that, but only a
little<img alt="" src="http://bandzoogle.com/common/FCKEditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif" />.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.custerobservatory.org/index.html" target="_new"><b>Custer Observatory</b></a><br />
Friday, August 3, 2012 8pm<br />
1115 Main Bayview Road, Southold, NY 11971<br />
631-765-2626 <br />
Suggested Donation: $15 Non-Members, $12 Members, $10 Students <br />
<br />
On the Sunday, August 12th, I'm so pleased to be performing at:<br />
<b>The Folk-Groovin' Café's Summer Fest II @ Shady Grove</b><br />
5 Stratford Avenue, Greenlawn, NY 11740 <br />
Doors open at 3pm, performances until 8pm<br />
631-368-1920 <br />
<br />
I'll be joined by Marshal Rosenberg on percussion and there's a host of
other artists performing including Walter Sargent, Glenn Petitt and
more! This sounds like a party for all.<br />
<br />
The following weekend, I'll be heading to the <a href="http://www.pfs.org/folk-festival" target="_new"><b>Philadelphia Folk Festival</b></a>
for the very first time where I will be connecting with friends,
listening to great music and hopefully singing at an open mic or two. I
had such a grand time at <a href="http://www.falconridgefolk.com/" target="_new"><b>Falcon Ridge Folk Festival</b></a> this year, I couldn't resist!<br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;"><b>FALL PROMO TOUR<br />
</b>So I'm in the midst of booking the Fall promotional tour for the new CD <b><a href="http://marcigeller.com/store.cfm" target="_new">Open Book</a> </b> and would welcome your help/ideas in filling in some dates. <br />
<br />
Specifically I'm looking for anyone willing to <b>host</b> a <a href="http://marcigeller.com/dates.cfm" target="_new"><b>house concert</b></a>, venues you think would work for my style of music, and general words of encouragement<img alt="" src="http://bandzoogle.com/common/FCKEditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif" />. If you are willing and able to do any of the above, please send me an <a href="mailto:mail@sonicunderground.com"><b>email</b></a> and we'll make it work!<br />
</span></div>
<hr />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;"><b>UPDATE:</b><br />
The CD is at the pressing plant as we speak with final approvals given
on the artwork, so I'm expecting delivery on the 13th. I'll ask for a
wee bit more patience as I organize all the different exclusives and get
them out to those who ordered. <br />
<br />
A reminder-<b>EVERYONE</b> who pledged on the campaign is entitled to a <b>FREE</b>
download of the CD which is up now. I heard from a bunch of you
expressing confusion about the link that PledgeMusic.com sent out. If
you still haven't been able to download, shoot me an email and I'll hook
you up with a link on my website that seems to be easier to use.<br />
</span></div>
<hr />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">That's all for now my friends. As always, your love and support is very felt and much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Wishing you all deep, relaxing, breaths of summer air,<br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Hello Lovely Listeners,<br />
What an amazing journey. The Pledgemusic.com Campaign is still chugging
along and I'm so grateful to all the pledgers. I literally have a few
days left until the deadline to completely the campaign. If I don't fund
to 100%, I lose <b>all the funding</b> to release this CD, which would be really sad after all of this hard work.<br />
<br />
I know everyone is super busy, but if you could take five minutes to
pre-order the CD, digital download, or one of the other fun exclusives,
it would be so very appreciated. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">As an independent artist,
this is literally the only way to put this new CD out. I believe in you
all the way you believe in me, so let's make it happen! <img alt="" src="http://bandzoogle.com/common/FCKEditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif" /></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Pledges start as little as $10 for the digital download and would help so much! <br />
Please click the <a href="http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/marcigeller" target="_new"><b>pledgemusic.com</b></a> widget above, <br />
choose your exclusive from the <span style="color: blue;">BLUE</span> right hand column and make a pledge.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
generosity and sweet messages of encouragement from all of you pledgers
have been quite humbling and very inspiring! Please spread the word.
If even a fraction of you got one friend to pre-order this labor of
love, we'd be there!</span></div>

I did it...I entered a contest - something I almost NEVER do. I found out that <a href="http://www.blogsouthwest.com/blog/calling-all-musicians-vote-your-favorite-finalists" target="_new"><b>Southwest</b></a>
was having a songwriting contest for musicians asking them to write a
song to help celebrate their 41st anniversary. There were hundreds and
hundreds of entrants..and I just found out I'm one of FIVE
FINALISTS!!!!!<br />
<br />
They are deciding the winner by how many views, likes and comments their
video gets. If you could take 2 minutes and 4 seconds of your time to
watch my video and do all of the above and then SHARE, you could help me
win. The prize is getting to fly on one of their planes on June 18th
and perform a surprise concert for the passengers! The cool part is,
they may include the performance in an episode of their new TV series
"On the Fly" on TLC! So please, comment nicely and let friends know.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Hello Most Lovely Listeners,<br />For those of you who know me well, you know that I'm fairly phobic about my birthday which is coming up on April 11th. In an effort to continue my "growth" process, I have decided to embrace the inevitable and invite you all to help me celebrate by making my birthday wish come true. I have decided to partner with the amazing people at Pledge Music and launch the campaign to fund my new CD!<br /><br />Click the widget below and away we go:<br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In order to make this successful, I need more than your pledge. I need you to please share this with as many friends & family members as you can. Together we can make this the best birthday ever and maybe, just maybe I'll get over my phobia and embrace the concept of another trip around the sun.<img alt="" src="http://bandzoogle.com/common/FCKEditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif" /><br /><br /><b>PLEASE NOTE: </b>If I don't fully fund, I receive nothing.

The first one is Saturday night up in Saugerties, NY at the famous <a target="_new" href="http://johnstreetjam.net/"><b>John Street Jam</b></a>. My friends, this was booked almost 2 years ago and I'm very excited about it. Basically, there are two song circles with four artists in each round. We swap songs for an hour, take an intermission and then the next round starts. It's a really cool way to really hear the "song" in it's purest form.<br /><br />Sunday, March 11th I am participating in a very unusual show called <a target="_new" href="http://www.heartworks.com/musicals/artspace_musical/index.html"><b>Artspace the Musical</b></a>. This was the brainchild of the amazingly talented and creative folks at <a target="_new" href="http://www.heartworks.com/"><b>Heartworks International</b></a>. The premise of the show is a group of musicians (myself included) were given a choice of artworks that were submitted by local artists. We were then posed with the challenge of writing a song inspired by the piece of art we chose, so I will debuting my song "High On That Hill" inspired by piece #18 around 3:45pm.<br /></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b>A VERY FRENCH CONNECTION<br />MY FIRST NYC SHOW IN OVER A YEAR!!!</b></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ok, my tri-state friends asked for an NYC show, and now you'll receive!

My husband Gian and I were in New York for New Years Eve for the first time in over a decade and since we didn’t have a party to go to, I decided to create our own party….on a webcast! I was challenged to see if I could write one last song in 2011, and I finished it the day before and was then asked if I would webcast a live debut performance of it, which I did! It was lots of fun and was my most attended webcast so far. You can watch a replay of it here:<br /></span></span> <div style="text-align: center;"><a target="_new" href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19505007"><img alt="" src="http://content.bandzoogle.com/users/MarciGeller/images/content/New-Years-Eve-Webcast-300.jpg" border="0" height="181" width="300" /> </a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If the Ustream doesn't work on your computer,<br />you can also watch it on </span><a href="http://youtu.be/KJk7e4GMPdw" target="_new"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">YouTube</span></b></a><br /></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />I have to admit, after playing it this past Monday at the <a href="http://www.jackhardy.com/" target="_new"><b>Jack Hardy Songwriter’s Exchange</b></a>, I got such great, constructive feedback, I’m now working on a re-write (and a new title!), but the broadcast was fun and a really inspiring way to start off the new year.<br /><br />If you've been missing out on the webcasts, be sure to click the "Like" button on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marcigellerfanpage" target="_new"><b>Facebook Fanpage</b></a> or, become a member on my <a href="http://marcigeller.com/membersonly.cfm" target="_new"><b>website</b></a> and make sure to include your cell number carrier to receive text announcements.

All I can say is, wow, we did it! Together we traveled a year like no other and I remain completely humbled and grateful for the support, belief, enthusiasm and kindness so many of you have shown me.<br /><br />I considered doing sort of a "Year In Review" and overwhelmed myself. It was however, good for me to see how much progress was made, because in all honesty, the lack of sun this time of year sometimes has me questioning myself (the sun as well as the ever-popular carb fest that starts Thanksgiving weekend!). I forgive myself for small digressions and also feel really proud of the work that was done both personally and professionally. I credit so many of you for helping me to find that path once again, and to stay on it. I hope you know how much I appreciate every single one of you! <br /><br /><b>CHECK OUT RECENT PERFORMANCES:</b><br />November was an amazingly validating month:<br /><br /><a target="_new" href="http://lastlickscafe.org/"><b>Last Licks</b></a> was so filled with joy.

Honestly, I've never been comfortable asking for help of any kind and money makes me especially squirmy. The reality is, without further funding, I'm going to have a beautiful CD with no way to get it out to you. Many have urged that I start a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/" target="_new"><b>Kickstarter</b></a> campaign or something of that ilk. Can you give me some feedback?

Warner and I had traveled up to perform at the Towne Crier and it was a balmy 78º. Midnight hit and BAM-the temp dropped down to 48º! Warner explained that it was now officially his birthday and that it was always a cold one, so you can thank him for the departure of summer.<br /><br />My plans to slow down touring and finish the CD have been mildly thwarted by wonderful gig offerings, which are listed below. Meanwhile, we had a spectacular September which included performing at Central Park!<br /><br />Here we are at the <a target="_new" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fvigil4internationalpeace.org%2F&rct=j&q=international%20vigil%20for%20peace%20%26%20ecology&ei=JcGJTqW7GsT40gH88cnUDw&usg=AFQjCNFkgWtqCxjOJkM4NKkUG3DJ5YbxLw&cad=rja"><b>International Vigil for Peace & Ecology</b></a>.

mso-bidi-line-height:150%font-size:12.0pt;" >New York, NY…. May 5, 2011... </span>Okay, let’s face it – I am a sucker for a self-penned wedding song that’s specifically written for that wedding day. A few years ago, I came across Jacqui Naylor’s “<a href="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/wedding-music/">Celebrate Early and Often</a><a href="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/wedding-music/">,</a>” and the romantic guy inside me was deeply touched. Recently I have come across Marci Geller’s “First Dance.” A music industry veteran whose creations are featured regularly on television (and more), Marci married her best friend and co-writer Gian DiMauro. The couple will be celebrating their 16th wedding anniversary this coming Saturday, May 7th, 2011. </p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify">“We co-wrote our wedding song because we met while working on a writing project together,” Marci told me. “At the time, I was working on a modern day rock musical and had decided to write each of the characters with a different person. A mutual friend suggested I work with Gian.” </p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"> </p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify">Marci and Gian convened at his recording studio to collaborate on a song that they never ended up quite finishing. Two weeks later Gian proposed, and after a healthy engagement period, the two married in 1995. They decided that since their intended composition was never finished, then they might as well write one for the wedding - and that’s exactly what happened!</p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"> </p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify">Listen to “<a href="http://marcigeller.com/fr_hidden">First Dance</a>.” </p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify">Buy Marci’s music at her <a href="http://www.marcigeller.com/fr_home.cfm">website store</a>.</p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify">Here are some upcoming tour dates for <a href="http://www.marcigeller.com/fr_home.cfm">Marci Geller</a>:</p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >MAY 22 - Franklin Houseconcert Series, Franklin, MA - 1pm</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >JUNE 5 - First Sundays For Jack @ Living Room, NYC - Time TBA</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >JUNE 10 - Happenings On Main, Northport, NY - Details TBA</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >JUNE 11 - Homegrown Music Cafe, Port Jefferson Station, NY - 8pm</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >JUNE 12 - Just for Judy @ Passport Cafe, West Milford, NJ - Time TBA</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >JUNE 21 - Banjo Jim's, New York, NY - 7-9pm</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >JULY 15 - Beanberry Caffe, Miller Place, NY - 8pm</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >JULY 21-23 - Falcon Ride Festival, Hillsdale, NY - Check website for times</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >AUGUST 3 - Grafton Concerts on the Commons, Grafton, MA - 6:00pm</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >AUGUST 4 - Sally O'Brien's, Somerset, MA - 8:00pm</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >AUGUST 12 - Cinema Arts Center "Music in the Garden" - Details TBA</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:150%;font-size:85%;" >DECEMBER 4 - Port Washington Library*, Port Washington, NY - 3:00pm </span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><em><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Arial;" >* This is a tribute to Carole King and Carly Simon with Gathering Times’ Hillary Foxsong and Former Lucky 13 band mate Cathy Kreger!</span></em></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><em></em></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;" >To read on the original blog click <a href="http://www.theweddingringblog.com/2011/05/wedding-song-music-marci-geller.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HERE</span></a><br /></span></em></span></p>Marci Gellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11195032895460677925noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837465666535565181.post-21969180207993570852011-02-21T12:07:00.002-05:002011-02-21T12:13:33.456-05:00Striking out on her own after getting “Lucky”<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrAH5_weks9ZD-oLKUxhOZlfiWaOk7WhRfI3O0I8CrhE9EStNPjGIPh2BosLVaX8RrR1w8AWYp47UnmK30sxPnBKIn8Vm_8a4qUa_mHKqKsKjbUCx1v2JKlUqWepSQdC6xIu2hSdLsIfe3/s1600/MG+Piano+Prayer.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrAH5_weks9ZD-oLKUxhOZlfiWaOk7WhRfI3O0I8CrhE9EStNPjGIPh2BosLVaX8RrR1w8AWYp47UnmK30sxPnBKIn8Vm_8a4qUa_mHKqKsKjbUCx1v2JKlUqWepSQdC6xIu2hSdLsIfe3/s200/MG+Piano+Prayer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576190919458847122" border="0" /></a>Miller Place, NY…. April 2011... Shortly after the turn of the new year, Suffolk County singer/songwriter and founding member of the wildly popular duo Lucky 13 Marci Geller announced that she and partner Cathy Kreger were parting ways and moving forward as solo artists. “I’m so used to being a member of Lucky 13, it’s going to take some adjusting to get used to being me again!” smiles Geller. <br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Marci’s career prior to founding the now defunct group is something to marvel at. Her history includes performances on “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf2gL8j4Icc"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Live! With Regis</span></a>,” “<span style="font-weight: bold;">Good Day NY</span>,” has a multitude of soundtrack placements and toured internationally as the support act and back up vocalist for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Blackmore’s Night</span>. She was recently chosen by Independent Songwriter Magazine (<span style="font-weight: bold;">ISWM</span>) as the “<span style="font-weight: bold;">Editors Choice</span>” as one of their favorite songwriters of the last decade. Called a “Female John Prine” by Gail Larkin, UUBR and an “East Coast Joni Mitchell” by Judy Antoon, Harid Conservatory, she is known for her strong songwriting skills and emotionally raw performances. <br /><br /> Rumors of a 2011 CD release have been heard and when prompted Geller enthusiastically replies “The new CD is already in progress and I’m working with some of my favorite musicians including Jay Mafale from the Yayas and David Werner Cook who produced Here on the Edge with Gian DiMauro and I a few years back.”<br /><br />During her tenure with Lucky 13, she opened for such notables as James Maddock, Vance Gilbert, Jimmy Webb, Jack Hardy & KJ Denhert. Her last releases were touted as: “<span style="font-style: italic;">brilliant songwriting - Great, thoughtful lyrics and very convincing melodies, It is really great to hear an album where the songs, the performance, the overall feeling, really creates "a picture" for the listener” </span>–Peter Holmstedt, Hemifran.<br /><br /> Marci’s calendar is filling up with solo dates and she will be performing her first area solo show of the year at the Beanberry in Miller Place, NY on Friday, April 22nd. “For some reason, I thought when I left Lucky 13, things would slow down a bit for me,” notes Geller. “If anything, I’m busier than ever before…and I guess that’s a good thing!” With a new CD, a fertile tour schedule and a desire to give a performance that leaves her audiences breathless, this tireless chanteuse promises to deliver. “I am so thankful for my time with L13. We traveled some bumpy roads along the way, but all in all, I consider myself a very lucky person!” decrees Geller.

Garisto saw how quickly the first show was coming up and offered to sit in with the successful trio. “As soon as we performed the first song of that first show together, we knew we’d found a new magic.” shares Geller. Garisto’s presence set the musicians on a trajectory that the band had hoped for, but hadn’t imagined would happen so quickly. Garisto joins the project with a healthy resume that includes singing on Saturday Night Live, The David Letterman Show, albums for Paul Simon and Billy Joel, and touring with Steely Dan and the legendary Laura Nyro.<br /><br />In the short t<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zDtsanz9s8gVTTq96wCjgp_oTXUhSYfx3CbZgI1J4_z8e3lPJ2Dc8bzf0-PKFr-E0NA-tSgAbJARLR5Sf1VhwmrlJjzmVnRRHe_sCyJ-iU1Mi2IpOXsQ3tTep8Hp3NRttveYHNDIYyTX/s1600/Lucky+13+After+Dinner+Group+Shot+I.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zDtsanz9s8gVTTq96wCjgp_oTXUhSYfx3CbZgI1J4_z8e3lPJ2Dc8bzf0-PKFr-E0NA-tSgAbJARLR5Sf1VhwmrlJjzmVnRRHe_sCyJ-iU1Mi2IpOXsQ3tTep8Hp3NRttveYHNDIYyTX/s200/Lucky+13+After+Dinner+Group+Shot+I.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491239824953773506" border="0" /></a>ime the trio has been together, Lucky 13 has garnered airplay and in-studios at radio stations across the Northeast including: WFUV, WSHU, WPKN, WUSB, WOR, WHUD, WLIU to name a few.

It was supposed to be a one-time celebratory Sonic Underground CD release for the label’s 13<sup>th</sup> anniversary. Co-founder and band member Marci Geller said,<span style=""> </span>“There was such a great response every time we performed together, we thought why not follow the signs and become a group?” “And so we did, under the same name.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:10pt;" >Then one of the trio members, Susan DeVita, realized touring and single parenthood weren’t working. “Losing a vital member to the group made us question what the future would hold,” explains remaining members Geller & Maine favorite Cathy Kreger. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:10pt;" >The group reached out to legendary vocalist Diane Garisto for recommendations.

Saturday, April 3, 2010... By now the name Lucky 13 sounds familiar to most from the area.

With Regis & being named one of the Top 10 Best Singer/Songwriters by Performing Songwriter Magazine (Geller) and touring with Laura Nyro, Steely Dan and singing on Graceland and River of Dreams (Garisto). “We have all experienced success on our own, but at this age, it’s nice to have some company on the road…that and it sure helps having extra hands to lug equipment!” teases founding member Marci Geller. Together they have a synergistic blend of folk, jazz and blues woven together by warm and rich harmonies. <br /><br />In the short time the trio has been together, Lucky 13 has garnered airplay and in-studios at radio stations across the Northeast including: WFUV, WSHU, WPKN, WUSB, WOR, WHUD, WLIU to name a few.

The future is looking bright for this trio of feisty, talented women. “I think the real true beauty of this group is that we are each at an age where we’ve stopped pursuing the elusive brass ring and have put our energy into the music. We each have something to say because of the lives we’ve lived, and that comes across in our music.” explains Geller.

Friday, April 9th, 2010... How does a band that has achieved national recognition, radio play and sales success in its first year handle the departure of a core member? <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:10pt;" >Lucky 13, the CD, created a ground swell when it hit national radio in late 2008, with three unique women, three bodies of work, and one harmonizing sound. It was supposed to be a one-time celebratory Sonic Underground CD release for the label’s 13<sup>th</sup> anniversary. Co-founder and band member Marci Geller said,<span style=""> </span>“There was such a great response every time we performed together, we thought why not follow the signs and become a group?” “And so we did, under the same name.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:10pt;" >Now one of the trio members, Susan DeVita, realized touring and single parenthood weren’t working. “Losing a vital member to the group made us question what the future would hold,” explains Geller. “January and our first 2010 shows were edging closer and we still hadn’t found an appropriate replacement.” Finding the right one would be a holiday miracle.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:10pt;" >Geller revealed; The group reached out to legendary vocalist Diane Garisto for recommendations. Garisto saw how quickly the first show was coming up and offered to sit in for the successful trio. “As soon as we performed the first song of that first show together, we knew we found a new magic.” shares Geller.<span style=""> </span>Garisto’s presence set the band on a trajectory that the band had hoped for, but hadn’t imagined so quickly. Garisto joins the project with a healthy resume that includes singing on Saturday Night Live, The David Letterman Show, albums for Paul Simon and Billy Joel and touring with Steely Dan and the legendary Laura Nyro.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:10pt;" >In the short time the trio has been together, Lucky 13 has garnered airplay and in-studios at radio stations across the Northeast including: <b>WFUV</b>, <b>WSHU</b>, <b>WPKN</b>, <b>WUSB</b>, <b>WOR</b>, <b>WHUD</b>, <b>WLIU</b> to name a few.<span style=""> </span>They were a featured performer on the <b>Fox Morning Show, WLNY TV</b> and a feature article in the<b> New York Times</b> sang their praises.<span style=""> </span>They have opened for such notables as Vance Gilbert, John Flynn, Jack Hardy & KJ Denhert.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"><b><i style="">Their chemistry is really kind of magical,”</i> -John Platt, WFUV 90.7 FM </b><b style=""><o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:10pt;" >The future is looking bright for this trio of feisty, talented women.
