Jake Simpson sings '50/50 Love' at Upright Cabaret

Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 9pm - ARTIST IN RESIDENCE - Upright Cabaret presents singer/songwriter JAKE SIMPSON (Oprah favorite, 03&04 Star Search Grand Champion) in a special evening to celebrate the release of his second solo album "MY SONG". Best remembered for his stirring performance of "ISNT SHE LOVELY" with his idol Stevie Wonder on OPRAH WINFREY. Jake has been heavily influenced by the vocals of Wonder, Steve Perry (Journey) and the classic style of Sam Cooke. Simpson said "This is the first time Ive had the opportunity to perform my own music in front of an LA audience. Finally, instead of singing "Dont Stop Believing", Im singing "My Song"! This also marks the inaugural concert event for Uprights new "Artist in Residence Series". This series is designed for emerging artists to have a monthly forum to develop their work and expose them to a larger audience base. Each 90 minute concert will feature the Jake Simpson Trio and a variety of special guests. For more info, visit: www.uprightcabaret.com or www.jakesimpson.net
