CONTEST: Win Tickets to the Saidah Baba Talibah Video Premiere Party at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto
Its all going down August 5th.
I've featured this Toronto singer previously on The Kitchen HERE. Her soulful, stripped-down bluesy style on the songs that make up her EP, The Phone Demos are a breath of fresh-air in a world of over-produced, digitally sterile-sounding music.
Directed by short film director Sarah Michelle Brown, the video being premiered next week, for “Place Called Grace” from the EP, is set in a 1920’s speakeasy and features choreography by Lisa Auguste (SYTCD Canada). Click HERE to watch a behind-the-scenes of the shoot.
Wanna be among the first to see the video? Here's the details:
What: World premiere of “Place Called Grace” video sponsored by Exclaim!
When: Thursday August 5th, 2010, 9 pm
Where: The Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen St. West
$10 at door
$15 with DJ L’oquenz CD
RSVP: tenfourcommunications@yahoo.ca
Wanna be a part of the action down at the super-trendy Gladstone Hotel next week but your paper's kinda short? Never fear, The Kitchen's got you sorted with our latest contest: to win a pair of FREE TICKETS to attend the video premiere party and also see Saidah perform live, send an email (subject line: 'Saidah Contest') and a winner will be selected at random and announced August 4th by me. Deadline for entries is 11:59:59PM ET on August 3rd.
Not familiar with The Phone Demos EP already? Get a quick refresher on Saidah's music here:
'Place Called Grace' [mp3 audio stream]
'(S)cream' [mp3 audio stream]
'Good Morning' [mp3 audio stream]
'No More' [mp3 audio stream]
