The New Voices Tour 2010

Luckily for us music junkies who have been doubting the direction of today’s music, the New Voices Tour has just given us a reason to keep hope alive. After devising a plan to satisfy the crave for new talent, the Simmons Sisters (Angela & Vannesa) and the Reid Brothers (Antonio Jr. & Aaron), along with fellow Executive James A. Smith, established The New Voices Tour.

Unlike your average talent competition, the New Voices Tour is in search for a broader range of entertainers. Uniquely, the tour seeks out all kinds of acts including Hip-Hop artists, R&B and Pop singers, groups/bands, and even spoken word artist. The tour stops in various cities throughout the United States, in hopes to find “the next big thing”! This opportunity will be a chance of a lifetime, and for many artists in the DMV (DC, MD, & VA) area… they have already begun to experience it!

This past weekend, June 20, 2010, the New Voices Tour stopped by the Nation’s Capitol, Washington, DC, to check out what the DMVr’s had to offer. Club 12 in Washington, DC was packed with the New Voices Tour team, industry heavy-hitters, and plenty of talented artists hopeful to leave a lasting taste in the judge’s mouths. The popular DC band, Mambo Sauce, even stopped through to give the New Voices Tour a slight sample of their sound. All in all, the turnout was successful and hopefully the judges were able to walk away with a few DMV definites!

The Glit is very excited about the New Voices Tour movement. We think it is an exceptional idea, being that it represents exactly what we are about — exposing the unheard!

If you are a talented artist and want a chance to be heard, make sure you check out the New Voices Tour and register to audition in a city near you! Visit www.newvoicestour.com for more information, and for their upcoming tour dates and cities.

Phil Ade & U.S. Royalty Perform On Stage For The 1st Time

It was an epic moment last Friday, February 26, 2010, at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, D.C., as 368 Music Group artist Phil Ade and rock band U.S. royalty joined forces on stage for the first time.  Both acts hit the stage individually and gave phenomenal performances, but it was the joint presentation that really made sparks fly.

The two acts prepared for the show weeks in advance, with an artistic promotional video that showcased a snippet of what they had in store for the actual show.  Although the promo video was very unique and undeniably extraordinary, it did no justice for the live production.  Phil Ade led the show with a brilliant set as usual. It was definitely a moment to capture… so who better to do so then moment catcher/ artist Demont Peekaso, who shared the stage with Phil and created another one of his masterpieces. U.S. royalty followed with a compilation of some of their most enticing songs. The crowd was hype from the start of the show to the finish; reciting the lyrics of both Phil Ade and U.S. Royalty verbatim.

The finale was what really took the crowd to the next level. Phil Ade joined U.S. Royalty on stage to perform their last song together. Their energy was crazy and the chemistry even crazier. “It was a whole different audience for me and like a whole different experience for me, said Phil. They fed me energy and I gave it back to them, I gave them my all. Tore it down man, it was fun!”

Who would have known that combining two different artists with totally different musical backgrounds would create such an impact? It is exactly what the DMV (D.C., MD, VA) area needs more of in order to create an unbreakable pact. The collaboration definitely set the bar for performers in the area, and is sure to become a trend that will hopefully broaden the DMV music scene.

This is prime proof that when individuals who share the same passion come together, the outcome can be electrifying.
