I know it's been a long time since the last newletter, but it's been a busy summer! We've gotten a lot of recording done on the new project, and we're still continuing to put it together. Hopefully will have some new materials for y'all to hear real soon.

But, I just wanted to send a SAVE THE DATE!

Thursday, September 27th 8pm! @ The Village Underground, NYC

After an incredible show at the Emergenza Finals @ Webster Hall, one of the judges loved our performance so much, he booked us for a special gig at the Village Underground! It's really important that we get a lot of folks out there. (Basically, if we get tons of folks, we get to play at another, really exclusive showcase!) So I'm letting y'all know early! No excuses this time...

More deets to come. Hope you have a beautiful rest of summer! See you in Sept!

peace & light,

The Rendezvous Salutes ONUTTS 1st Anniversary - September 24th

Ths is an event you DO NOT want to miss. The next edition of The Rendezvous on Monday September 24th will be a special salute to the first anniversary of One Nation Under The Soul Shack (ONUTTS).

The featured performers for the evening will be:

Keni Myles

Peachy Salthouse

Myoshi Marilla

...and Mike Hammond

...Who knows who else will show up and decide to perform.

The ladies of ONUTTS have supported so many over the last year including InJoy Enterprises and we want to give some of that love back with this special night. So make sure you block off your calendar for Monday, September 24th when The Rendezvous will be a salute to the 1st Anniversary of ONUTTS.

The Rendezvous takes place on the last Monday of every Month at Shrine World Music Venue, 2271 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd bet. 133rd & 134th Street in Harlem, USA. Doors Open at 6PM, with performances beginning at 7:30. Admission is $10.00.

ONUTTS Anniversary Listening Party - September 10th

ONUTSS extends a "special invitation" to one & all to come down to the elegant, yet intimately warm and inviting Tov's on Worth Street for this fantastic listening party to hear music from two great artists!

Atlanta's Melissa Young (myspace) is quickly becoming a name that is on the tip of everyone's tongues. Her song, "Just A Girl" was recently added as a downloadable feature on Soultracks.com. If you haven't gotten it, don't wait! Melissa has her own sound, her own style -- you won't listen to her singing and say, "wow, she sure does sound like ... when I close my eyes!"

South Carolina transplant and now calling himself a New Yorker, Jerome (myspace) has traveled the world and impressively holds a formal degree in Musical Theater with a Piano Minor. Jerome has appeared at the World Famous Apollo and was music director for Sunday Gospel & Jazz Brunch on 42nd Street at the legendary Soul Cafe, from the TV Show New York Undercover. He is also the Assistant Musical Director for Tony Award Winner George Faison's Respect Project. Jerome writes for up and coming artists in various music genres like Urban Gospel, Soul, R&B, and Pop. Musical Theater writing is also a passion

InJoy Enterprises encourages all of our friends to support ONUTTS as they continue to do great things to promote the independent music scene.

ART FOR PROGRESS ART IN DESIGN---

Art For Progress presents The Art of Design

This September, Art For Progress(AFP) will present its third annual
fashion event featuring two emerging fashion designers during New York
Fashion Week. This year's show will feature AFP members Lu Kun and Selma
Karaca. In conjunction with Art For Progress, Lu Kun is the first couture
designer from Shanghai to participate in fashion week. Karaca was the
2006 winner of AFP's international fashion competition. The event will
showcase two of the most talented international designers.

Lu Kun is quickly becoming the newest fashion sensation in Asia,
especially since his recent participation in the Singapore Fashion
Festival in March. As winner of the “Best Young Designer in China” award
by the Shanghai Fashion Federation in 2004, he has become a growing
presence in the international fashion scene. This coming September 3rd,
Lu Kun will be featured in the second annual Munich International Fashion
Day, a charity event sponsored by Audi. He will be the first non-European
designer to participate in this prestigious festival. His work has been
featured in both Vogue China and Elle China magazines, among many others.

Selma Karaca, a native of Turkey and resident of New York City, was
educated in Fine Art. She began her fashion career as a milliner, selling
her artistic hats to high-end stores in Istanbul and Europe. Now her focus
is on couture clothing with luxurious hand-detailing. As a finalist in the
2004 Gen Art Styles avant-garde competition, she has become known not only
as a great designer, but as a true artist in a category all her own. She
was recently featured in the Queens Museum.

The Art of Design event will be held on September 6th, 2007 at the AVEnts
loft in Chelsea, and will be on the official Fashion Calendar.
The show is scheduled for 6pm with an after-party to follow. AVEnts is
located at 15 West 28th Street, 10th Flr.

RSVP to events@artforprogress.org or visit www.artforprogress.org for more
details.

Have a safe holiday weekend - don't say goodbye to Summer yet as we still technically have a month:-)

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings to Release New Album, 100 Days, 100 Nights

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings to Release New Album, 100 Days, 100 Nights

RELEASE DATE: 1/10/07

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings will release their latest full length, 100 Days, 100 Nights, on October 2^nd on Daptone Records. 100 Days, 100 Nights is the group’s third full-length since they burst on the scene with their 2002 release, Dap Dippin’ With Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, on Bushwick, Brooklyn based label, Daptone Records. Since that time, the band has released 2005’s Naturally, and The Dap-Kings became sought after by artists ranging from Amy Winehouse (performing as the backing band on Winehouse’s Back to Black album and tour), Kanye West, Mark Ronson, Public Enemy’s Hank Shocklee, Lilly Allen, and more. In addition, Sharon contributed vocals to projects with Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, and They Might Be Giants. 100 Days, 100 Nights was recorded in the same Bushwick, Brooklyn Daptone studio as its predecessors, using all analog equipment to achieve the signature hard-hitting funk and soul sound that has made the band so in demand among musicians and fans alike.

To celebrate the release of 100 Days, 100 Nights, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings will headline the world famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York City on Saturday, October 6^th, before kicking off a nationwide USA tour that will run through the months of November and December.

YAHZARAH - Introducing PURPLE ST. JAMES

Purple St. James is an artist who invokes memories of the soul greats of the past. Hip Hop had a baby with Tina, Parliament and Minnie. Her name is Purple St. James. Funky, beautiful and passionate, her sound pushes the envelope at times, while being subtly sexy and familiar at other times.

People who witness a Purple St. James performance usually walk away with an adrenaline rush and a tingling feeling running up and down their spines. In her former life, you may have known her as a shooting black star named YahZarah. The former student from the renowned Duke Ellington School of Music has performed with such musical legendary geniuses as Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker and Dave Brubek. She has made an incredible transformation in a short amount of time. In a span of seven years, Purple St. James went from a music scholarship student at North Carolina Central University to a background singer for one of the founders of the neo- soul movement, Erykah Badu. Now, she is a soul artist in her own right.

Under the name YahZarah, Purple St. James released two musical ventures to date: "Hear Me" (released on the Keo Music label) and "Black Star" (released on the Three Keys label). She has graced the stage with artists like Floetry, Musiq Soul Child, Kem, Donnie, Amel Larrieux, Goapele, Talib Kweli, Rahsaan Paterson, Raheem Davoughn, Chaka Kahn, Bilal Oliver, The Roots, and the list goes on and on.

Purple St. James has created a unique mold that cannot be replicated. She is one of a kind. She is the confluence of that which is both classic and cutting edge. Hearing Purple St. James elevate from a soul diva to a funk shaman causes your ears and soul to be inundated with a sound that's part Shirley Caesar and part Sly Stone, with a touch of the Brides of Funkenstein. Prepare to be pulled in, and to become hooked on Ms. Purple St. James.

Come out and catch YAHZARAH a.k.a. PURPLE ST. JAMES perform live with special guest: BIG BROOKLYN RED for the ACOUSTIC SOUL LOUNGE series at GROOVEOLOGY @ SIP Lounge! This Sunday, August 19th, at 7:30pm! The show will be recorded for broadcast on Soul- Patrol.Net! Come be a part of the live audience!
