Happy 2025 to all…. Recharging down here in Puerto Rico w a few appearances on sax in RINCON area, guitar zooms on Tuesday and plenty of beach vibes for the rest of the month. I’ll miss you all. Taking a real break so if I’m off grid it means I’m enjoying a vacation off this electronic device and will get back to you asap…. Peace, Love, and Abundance

Happy Holidays to all,

Studio Noir has had a fantastic 2024 and wishes you and your family nothing but the BEST!!!

Whether you are a currently enrolled student or former, please consider coming out to our Recital this Saturday at a really fun and casual spot called DOX in Island Park. It's on the water, but no worries, we are playing inside. There is a full menu and bar. We encourage festive fashion!

Bring a toy or musical item to give away. (wrapped or not) I've selected a local non-profit the Long Beach Latino Civic Association to hand over the collection. They are wonderful.

This is a free "all ages" event and we are super excited for this "new crop" of talent to shine.

Order of appearance is as follows.....

130pm - Seek The Magic (3 sisters and a few dudes who rock) Bluebird, Jackie, Julianna, Dillon, Noir

2pm - The Long Beach Ukulele Orchestra - 1 hour set with holiday songs and fun pop hits

(guest virtuoso violinist Caren Schilling and lead ukulele Jeff Alan!)

3pm - The Friday Crew - Waylon, Magz, Summer, Tajana, Alley, Noir

330pm - The Art of Wednesday - Robbie, Clark, Dax, Sean, Jill, Noir

4pm - The Sunday Jammers - Harlen, Max, Dax, Noir

430pm - The Holmes Marlin Bros. - Kai, Dylan, Riis, Lennox, Noir

5pm - STEELE TRIBE - Edison, Rosalynn, Noir

also featured during this event (timing tba)

solo artist - Benjamin Flammer

(did I forget anyone, please let me know asap)

530pm to 630pm will feature adults and staff - Jill B. Lovin (w Alex Kaufman and Benoir)

plus a few songs with Benoir and Jackie Ford to cap it off!

Special thanks to drum instructor Alex Kaufman for providing drums for the event and in-home lessons.

We hope to see Miss Ivy at the event, but we aren't sure if she'll be up for it. For those of you who do not know, she took a really bad fall a week before Thanksgiving and really hurt herself. If you'd like to check up on her or send her a gift card or something special her number is 347 782 2924 Healing prayers going out to you Ivy!

Huge thanks to Norah Finn Kelleher "Noni" who agreed to host this event, and when I was sick as a dog for a month convinced me to keep it in the calendar. I'm doing much much better, and looking forward to this show. You can support Dox and other great things by attending https://www.finnfestlb.com/ every July and by enjoying the live music, restaurant and many events at Dox all year round.
