Guest Biography:

VANESSA RACCI

Growing up with her Barese (Southern Italian) grandfather in New York, Vanessa learned Italian American classics at an early age.

She developed as a singer in musical theater, discovered her love for jazz in her early 20’s and started performing with a trio. After her grandfather passed away, Vanessa was inspired to reinvent the Italian American classics that he taught her with modern jazz arrangements. Her mission; to keep the music alive for future generations, and in turn, her grandfather’s memory. She teamed up with Gianni Valenti of Birdland Jazz Club, NYC, producer, David Finck, and Manhattan Transfer arranger, Yaron Gershovsky, to realize her vision.

The result was a sold-out album release show at Birdland in June, 2017 and a unique album entitled, Italiana Fresca, that reached #65 on the jazz charts. Since then, she has performed at over 70 Italian festivals, events and jazz clubs across the country and has been played on over 20 Italian radio stations across the US and Italy.

For her next project, she was inspired to pay homage to Italian American influence on jazz music after a performance in New Orleans and from learning of her relation to the late jazz guitarist, Tony Mottola. She debuted a new show, Jazzy Italian, on October 13th, 2019, at Birdland, to another sold out audience, to celebrate Italian American heritage month. She is scheduled to record this show and release as a new album in 2021.

“I love what she did with my father’s songs” – Deana Martin (Dean Martin’s Daughter)

“Racci gives [the songs] imaginative jazz vocal makeovers” –  NYC Jazz Record

“A full plate of Neapolitan flavors” – Jazz Weekly

“The Mob-Hits compilation for Hipsters” – Midwest Record

“She has taken songs treasured for generations and completely redefined them” – Jane Monheit, Jazz Sensation

“Vanessa Racci is one of the most talented performers I have ever met. Her shows are first class and her reinvention and choice of songs are unique.” – Angelo Venuto, Italian Pop Sensation

“A gracious presence on the stage and beautifully dressed as for a 1950s cocktail party, Vanessa Racci traced the contributions of Italian-Americans to jazz, a much more extensive history than a casual observer might think. She brings along a lovely voice, a fine sense of rhythm, a gracefulness evidenced in her dancing across the stage and a genuine appreciation of the music and her musicians.”  – Bart Greenburg for Cabaret Scenes Magazine, NYC

“Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review. This book easily earns all the stars! It’s probably one of the best books on mental illness that I have ever read. Paolina Milana tells her story of having a mother, then later a sister, with paranoid schizophrenia with such honesty and passion. The toll that being a caregiver has on her is completely understandable and she shows real courage. I highly recommend this book!” ~ Librarian

“A modern-day ‘Girl, Interrupted’ but with family. Paolina Milana is an incredible writer and is very brave for sharing her story with us. Mental illness is still seen as taboo and she is breaking down what happens when we are taught to keep it all in the family and never air dirty laundry.”  5 out of 5 stars ~ NetGalley

Guest Biography:

Sworn in as governor in 1994, George Allen set about to bring sweeping reform that would make Virginia a national model in economic development, public safety, education accountability, welfare reform and creative government. He challenged critics and sentiment that suggested it couldn’t be done, reining in government spending and substantially reducing the size of the state workforce. And he accomplished his reform agenda with bi-partisan support.

Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000, Mr. Allen continued to advocate for Virginia’s families. He strove to make Congress live like families do – within its means – by introducing and advocating for real budget reform including a balanced budget amendment, line-item veto and a paycheck penalty for Members of Congress when they fail to pass appropriations bills on time.

 

Since leaving the U.S. Senate, George Allen has continued to advocate for the issues and ideas he has always fought for. He launched the American Energy Freedom Center, whose mission is to advocate positive ideas for American jobs, economic prosperity and promote increased freedom, opportunity and competition in the development and use of our vast energy resources. George also serves as the Reagan Ranch Presidential Scholar for the Young America’s Foundation.

Football has always been a central part of George Allen’s life. In his recently released book, What Washington Can Learn from the World of Sports, he presents solutions that can work to put people across America in a position to compete and succeed in achieving their dreams.

THE VOICE OF 'GENESIS REVISITED'

EXCLUSIVE  Z O O M  INTERVIEW

ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS

with RAY SHASHO

 

Nad Sylvan was born in the USA but raised in Sweden by his grandparents. He began playing the piano at the age of four and started composing almost immediately. His first performance at age eight ended very suddenly with Nad fainting over the keys from sheer nervousness... a great way to start!

Having worked with ABBA's Michael B. Tretow, Rednex (remember Cotton Eye Joe?), being in and out of various bands, trying to write "hit songs" but never being in sync with time, Nad's dreams of success had almost come to an end when he was accidentally lured back into the prog rock scene...

In 2008 Nad was involved with the highly acclaimed Unifaun album; a project of original music paying homage to the 70's era Genesis.

The Unifaun album, and in particular Nad's voice (often described as a mix of Gabriel and Collins) caught the attention of Roine Stolt of The Flower Kings and Transatlantic. Together they formed Agents Of Mercy in 2009 and have released three albums to date; The Fading Ghosts of Twilight (2009), Dramarama (2010) and The Black Forest (2011) as well as touring extensively.

Then one day an email arrived in Nad's inbox: "Hi Nad, this is Steve Hackett..."

Acclaimed by many to be GENESIS’S finest album, Selling England By The Pound will be performed by Hackett and company in its entirety. Supported by some of the best musicians on the planet, Steve's unique guitar work remains the fulcrum on which this challenging and exhilarating show is balanced. In addition, Hackett will perform selections from Seconds Out. Rescheduled & New USA shows begin April 2022 including four dates in Florida.

Guest Occupation: Tim Hortons Franchisee, Speaker, Philanthropist
Guest Biography:
"I'll take on the world ... After my morning coffee"



Overcoming obstacles, to leverage strength and resiliency.

With Kara Kennish - Owner/Operator Tim Hortons Canada - Speaker and Philanthropist - Universal Women's Networks 100 Women of Inspiration - Advocate for Equal Opportunity.



Kara Kennish is a female business owner of a busy franchise in Ontario, Canada, who evolved from being a competitive teenage athlete who was almost obsessive about her weight, to surviving as a single mum, to leading by example in her business and her community while serving and her philanthropy endeavours.



"I'm a third generation Tim Hortons franchisee with a desire to help change the world. I'm determined to utilize the unique platform I have to make a difference in our communities both locally and internationally."


 
Her athletic history has provided her with opportunities to share her story with young girls across Canada, representing Tim Hortons in their collaboration with Barbie for the "Dream Gap", "You can be anything" and "One-of-a-king-Barbie" campaigns.

 
She dives into being an ambitious teen in competitive sports, and rigorously managing her weight so that she could compete, and win. Her personal trauma happened several years ago, after returning from a georgeous European vacation with her husband being so in love with him. A month later he came home one evening to tell me he would no longer be a husband or father and that he was leaving us for his 20-something year old co-worker.

 
With her life thrown upside down in those moments while she tried to sort out her own life- while trying to help her (then almost 14-year old) daughter also battle the abandonment.


Her dream is to build her Tim Hortons empire, to empower women specifically through leadership and sport, to be a change-maker in this world through her philanthropic efforts, all supporting equal opportunity with the THFC - Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, Empowerment Squared, and the Grindstone Awards. A success story is one built on grit, determination and resilience - with an independent streak for good luck!
