Jennifer Batten: launching a new Michael Jackson music multimedia show this Friday night in Portland
Jennifer Batten: Greetings Bat-heads,
I'm launching a new Michael Jackson music multimedia show this Friday night in Portland OR with some of the best Northwest talent joining me. Vocals: Andy Stokes, Paul Creighton, and Ione Chaco. Horns: Patrick Lamb, Max Ribner, and Matt Warming plus special guest, the ever creative electronica recording artist "Solovox". Sure to be a blast!
The show is completely in synch with new films I've made in the last year, with some fun surprises. It's a nice break from performing my originals show and MJ's music is so uplifting and timeless!
The next move is heading out with the monster RV for a west coast tour with my pal Jesse Solomon opening the show and joining me for a few tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs7PRnoq0pE We'll be playing in Sacramento, LA, San Diego to name a few cities.
We 'might' be able to squeeze in a house concert somewhere on the west coast in our travels. Write to battenposse@earthlink.net for details.
It's been a busy-assed year for me. I recorded a DVD for truefire.com which will be released this summer. This will be the first in a series of instructional videos which will also be available on line.
I spent April in Japan and May in Europe, starting with my 3rd tour of Poland. I then had some chill time in N France followed by a date in Nancy France, and then off to Germany to perform for a very successful and fast growing new-ish franchise of schools called The Music Academy.
Last week I finally got to play with Portland's own Eddie Martinez. He's a great talent that played guitar with Robert Palmer, Mick Jagger, Blondie, Meatloaf and David Lee Roth. We both escaped big cities and are enjoying all the Northwest has to offer. We'll play together again for July 4th festivities at the Marriott Waterfront with Patrick Lamb (Gino Vanneli, Diane Schurr). I'll join in late after my OTHER July 4 gig with Hit Machine in Fort Vancouver.
I'll be back at my old stomping ground of Musician's Institute in Hollywood CA, for a Women's Music Summit July 28, and probably flying to Italy the following morning.
I'll be heading down to Las Vegas in August to perform for the 8th annual Michael Jackson Convention I might just go early to catch the new MJ residency show "ONE" by Cirque Du Soleil before they go on break. People that have seen it, say it's based around my MJ stage character. Can you spell royalties? I wish...
It looks like I'll be back in Europe twice more this year, heading for Greece (for the first time) and Italy. I'm still racking up those frequent flyer miles.
Complete tour dates are always found here when confirmed : batten.com
Until next time, Ciao!
