Nadirah CD Sneak Preview

[Soulsingah]

Greetings All,

Things are moving fast now with the CD. All the songs are recorded, mixed and ready to be mastered! I am very pleased, each and every song is special to me.


JB and the Coral Reefer Band is coming to my town next week so I thought it would be the perfect time to invite you to a "Sneak Preview" performance I am doing here on Tuesday night of songs from "Nod to the Storyteller". The location is CENCI Restaurant, 1259 Glenwood Ave., Atlanta Ga. ph:404 627 0533 showtime 9pm.

Wait until you hear the duet with Jimmy of "When the War is Over" on the CD. it's incredible (if I must say so myself) and here's a little secret I'd like to share with you...

At the beginning of the 2007 tour we were rehearsing in San Francisco and Jimmy had this really cool song by JJ Kale and Eric Clapton for us to learn. We all loved the song and I was especially excited about doing something that made a social statement. (Between you and me I think that was one of the reasons Jimmy chose the song.) Anyway, some folks thought it might be a little too political for the show so it was canned. Later when Jimmy and I talked about songs for my CD he suggested "When the War is Over". I jumped all over the opportunity to put it on the CD and when I asked Jimmy to do it as a duet with me he most graciously said yes.

Everyone knows that a JB concert is about escapism and enjoying the good life but if we really know him we know he has another side too. A side shown by "Singing for Change", Save the Manatees, as well as benefit performances for other charities he is involved in and supports. This is why the opportunity to do this particular song as a duet with him makes it so special to me. I get to share in Jimmy's indulging a bit of the other side of himself. I don't know about ya'll (hey I'm from Texas) but I think that is way cool.

Thanks for sharing in this whirlwind ride with me. If you can make the show Tuesday, please introduce yourself to me. Otherwise I will see you at Mac's show Wednesday at "Center Stage" or on Thursday on the big stage.

Peace to All,

Nadirah

Wish I was in GA to see your show, but am really looking forward to hearing your album and especially "When the War is Over". We need some new protest/peace songs.

I concur!!! We were treated to the debut public performance (I'm guessing) at the Fishsticks show in New Orleans, and it was amazing!! Very powerful, and very moving!!

You must have caught a vibe... I checked this forum specifically to bump your old thread to ask for an update on the cd!

I so wish I could catch your show in Atlanta... sounds like it will be a real treat! Really looking forward to the cd, and sure enjoy seeing you perform! I hope you might book a show in the Chicago area this year!

Best of luck with everything, Nadirah!!

I believe WOW is an understatement of the voice Nadirah has, the show was in the coolest basement of this restaurant. I only got one picture (it was dark and I took a small camera) I will post it later. The band she played with I could have set in a bar and listened to all night, two members were from her family. It was great to hear her sing Jimmy's songs but to see her expressions and movements when she sings her own was amazing.

Their was maybe 30-40 people so it was a very intimate setting, she danced with everyone and handed the mic around for everyone to help her sing.

I believe the funniest statement of the night was she was talking about joining this band called the Coral Reefers in the 90's and it was headed up by Jimmy Buffett, the lighter skinned people in the audience is familiar with him

Nadirah we were introduced to you through Jimmy, but we were there last night for you. Yo are an amazing talent. Thanks for a great evening.
