Jade Ryane Philly: News

As many of you know things have not been going well for Lesa and Clay. This will be a 'pass the hat' benefit event to help support them in their time of need. Please come out and show your appreciation for the people that have done so much for me and others like me. See the Calendar page for more informtation.

Hello everyone! The show is back on! It will be Saturday, January 30 at DiCarlo's Mustard Seed. Please see the Calendar section for more details and come enjoy a great night with great music!

Due to a terrible accident with one of the band members this show has been postponed. I will keep you updated on the reschedule of this show as I have information.

Hey everyone! The next show will be on December 18 at DiCarlo's Mustard Seed. This show is a CD release event for Ryan Keene, but the last part of the show will be Lesa's singers performing various cover songs chosen by Fat Finger and also some original songs. I will be performing two songs in this show. Please click on the Calendar tab for details and I hope to see you there!

Hello again! I gave the website a facelift. I was getting tired of the old one, so let me know what you think of the change.

I am still finishing things up for the upcoming CD release, but all the songs are now recorded. The remaining four songs will only be available on the CD, and I can promise you, they are amazing so be sure to purchase a copy! Please stay tuned for updates and I will talk to you again soon!

I have just uploaded 'Freaky D' a song I co-wrote with Stacey Young. I love this song and it's soooo much fun to sing! Please let me know what you think!

I have uploaded two more songs, 'Tempest (Gone Away)' and 'A Cold Wind Blows'. Please listen and leave any comments in the guestbook. Just a few more and this project is done!

Hi! I have uploaded a new song, Crazy Little Mama. Please listen and let me know your thoughts! I have four others ready and will upload them soon.

This was a great show! The sound was perfect, the singers were perfect, the band was perfect, the weather was not perfect, but we can't have everything be perfect, can we?

This showcase was called Sugar 'N' The Jam and it showcased some of Stacey Young's songs. She picked a great selection for this show and everyone really enjoyed themselves despite the weather.

Keep watching for the next show! Thank you to everyone for your support!

This will be a showcase for songwriter Stacey Young. We will be singing songs either written or co-written by Stacey and let me tell you, there are some great songs here! I will be performing two songs and singing backups on a few. Please attend! This will be my first performance at the new venue, DiCarlo's Mustard Seed! I'm excited!

Hey all! I just uploaded my newest release, "I Am Here". Please check it out and let me know your thoughts!

Hello! My hiatus is over and now I'm back in the studio recording the rest of my songs. If all goes well, I should have some new tunes for you by the end of next month. I'm also planning on singing in the May show, so please keep watch on the site!

I have also decided to learn the bass guitar, and so far it's going pretty well. I'm catching on a little bit quicker on the bass then I was on guitar, so I hope I have found my niche in the land of stringed instruments!

Take care until next time!

Hi everyone! I have decided to take a little break from music for a while. I have a lot going on and can't give it the attention I used to. I'll be back after the first of the year, so keep an eye on the site! Thanks for understanding!

"Words On A Page" has been uploaded to the site! I will be singing this song at the show on Tuesday, but the song will not be released until next year. There are more on the way! I'm still in the studio, so please check back periodically for updates and new songs. Thank you!

I have decided NOT to release my CD in the November Showcase. Sorry everyone, but I don't believe we have enough time to pull everything together and create a great show for you. I will, however, be singing a new song so please purchase tickets and come!!! Thank you for understanding!

This will be a CD release party for me and a few others. We are also showcasing some of our other artists, so it should be a fantastic show! Tickets are $7.00 in advance and $8.00 at the door at The Trouser Mouse Bar & Grill in Blue Springs on November 18. Here are directions, but the address and phone number are in the Calendar section if you need them:

Hi everyone! Just a quick little update for you; I just received word that I will be recording my next two songs by the end of October, and will send the next batch out for programming! I'm so excited!

This was the CD release of Emma Jo & The Poets Down Here, and this band rocks! I enjoyed every song they performed and highly recommend that you purchase their new album! Visit their website at www.emmajo.com.

This was also a "Girls Night Out" showcase and featured many of our female artists. There were some sound issues, but everyone recovered beautifully. Way to go!

This showcase will be a CD release for Emma Jo & The Poets Down Here as well as a spotlight for our upcoming artists. I will be singing backup vocals for this one. Please check the Calendar for ticket information.

I just recently received my next two songs from Gary, and I must say, he has done it again! Could there possibly be a CD release in November? Shhh...

Lesa never fails to deliver and awesome showcase! In my opinion, this was the best one so far. Everyone did a good job; the duets and groups sounded great; the solos were wonderful; and Darron Story, our emcee, was the perfect comedian.

There were so many great performances at last night’s show that I find it difficult to choose a few to review here!

I think, perhaps, Darron’s duet with RaeShell was my favorite moment. No rehearsals; their first time singing together on stage, I believe, and their rendition of “Endless Love” was both moving and beautiful.

I also enjoyed Marnie Brodzinski’s performance of “Hallelujah” by Kate Voegele. Marnie has such an amazing voice!

Mike Dale’s cover of Garth Brooks’s “More Than A Memory” was also very moving.

Dianna Redding covered the Fleetwood Mac song “Dreams” and did an exceptional job as well.

The group, Unrelated, consisting of Heather Beth, Miranda Q, and Jacqualine Rose, did a great job singing “Bleeding Love” by Leonna Lewis to close our show.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported us. Your dedication to us and support in all we do means more than words could ever express! Thank you!

Stay tuned for the next showcase!
