SIBLING REVELRY

JENN STANG AND STANG DEBUT LIVE CDs, DVDs

BROTHER AND SISTER SIMULTANEOUSLY LAUNCH RECORDING CAREERS ON STAIRWAY RECORDS

Dual CD/DVD Release Party Set for Site of Recordings – April 5 at Grape Street Philadelphia

MEDIA, PA – It’s extremely rare that a brother and sister launch their individual recording careers at precisely the same time, but that’s what’s happening at Stairway Records with the simultaneous release of CDs and DVDs from world-flavored singer-songwriter JENN STANG and her brother Emmett, a budding guitar hero whose brawny power trio is simply called STANG.

JENN STANG and STANG each are releasing a live CD and DVD, all of which are titled LIVE! AT THE … GRAPE STREET PHILADELPHIA. And they’re celebrating their arrival as recording artists together at the scene of the recordings – with a Double CD/DVD Release Party , Tuesday April 5 at Grape Street Philadelphia, 4100 Main St. in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia. Show time is 8 p.m. Admission is FREE.

While both JENN STANG and her brother, Emmett, have lived all over the world with their family and trained intensively for this moment, the two transplanted Canadians – each of whom recently earned their U.S. citizenship – have channeled their diverse cultural experiences in completely different artistic directions.

JENN STANG, 19, gently seasons world cultures past and present into music deeply influenced by Eastern World, Celtic, Flamenco and Latin rock. She fuses it all onto a pop-rock canvas as both a piano-vocal soloist and singer-dancer fronting her new band. As the ferocious leader of STANG, Emmett already is being touted as one of the next great lead guitar players, naturally channeling the transcendent contributions of Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughan with distinctive jazz seasoning. And he’s only 17.

Mainstays on Philadelphia area stages for the past year, they recently were asked to compose a song together for the Rainforest Foundation, and also recorded music for Cher with Grammy-nominated songwriter Eric Bazilian (“One of Us”) of the Hooters, with whom they will soon be writing. JENN STANG and Emmett have attracted some of Philadelphia’s top production talent to help craft their first recordings – four-time Grammy-nominated producer Skip Drinkwater (Moby, Incubus, Sheryl Crow) and Grammy-winning studio maven Phil Nicolo, who mixed and engineered at his world-renowned Studio 4 in Conshohocken., PA.

From Europe to South America to Canada and now Philadelphia – JENN STANG and STANG deliver a pair of CDs and DVDs that have taken each sibling a lifetime of preparation. With LIVE! AT THE … GRAPE STREET PHILADELPHIA they’re poised to give back to the world all they’ve assimilated – with so much more to come. LIVE! AT THE … GRAPE STREET PHILADELPHIA are available at Amazon and CD Baby, with downloadable tracks at major internet music services.
