Hello Cherries,
Hope everyone is staying cool. It’s freaking hot out there. Speaking of cool, I have a show at Rockwood Music Hall on Wednesday, July 8th at 11 p.m., which I’m calling, “A Family Affair.” This is a very special show for me, as I’ve decided to share the stage with some of my closest friends and fellow musicians. Besides playing Jerry Cherry songs, my band and I are going to back up a few different artists that I’ll be hitting the road with in the coming weeks. Among the special guests will be the band HiFi, performing their new song, “She’s My Girl,” which is currently burning up radio airwaves. Jamie Rae will also join us to sing her song, “Never.” There will be other very special appearances too. I haven’t played in New York in a while and would love to see you there. I love and miss all of you!
July 8th will not just be a great night at Rockwood but a full day of music indeed. The day will start early with a performance with Chubby Checker on the ABC News Now entertainment show, “What’s The Buzz.” ABC News Now is available on cable, broadband and mobile in 55 million households nationwide. Check out their website for a live stream and viewing info for the show at:
http://abcnews.go.com/abcnewsnow/story?id=6444026 . The show airs sometime between noon and 2 pm. We’ll be performing a remix of one of Chubby Checker’s top ten hits of 1961. This remix has never been performed live, and I’m very excited to be a part of it.
Also on July 8th, Chubby Checker and the Wildcats will be performing at Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center (62nd Street between Columbus and Amsterdam), with a Twist lesson at 6:30 and a show at 8:30. Finally, a chance for all my NYC friends to come out and see this great show! Tix are $15, general admission. Here are some more upcoming shows, including one tomorrow, July 1, right here in Manhattan. Hope to see you there!
