Resonance Record Release: Hosted by RMG, Rogan, and Veuve Clicquot

On Thursday, April 2, my company, RMG in association with couture clothing company ROGAN and Veuve Clicquot (champagne) hosted my record release party at ROGAN's Bouwerie Lane Theater. Charles began meticulously planning a few months prior. His efforts certainly paid off! The party proved to be one of the hottest spring events in New York City!


When I arrived at ROGAN (located at Bond and Bowery in NYC) everyone was busy preparing the space and making sure every detail was perfect. Everyone assisting the event was incredible! Our staff made sure that our vibe of elegance and a down to earth “je ne sais quoi” was projected; true to form! A very special thanks to Charles Ressler, Lindsay Homes and Jamie Fig for their incredible planning and coordination. I stepped into the back room and warmed up. I soon re-emerged to find our guests arriving. The event had an incredible spread of food compliments of Verve restaurant in Somerville, NJ. Veuve Clicquot was perfectly placed throughout the room. Our friends at Veuve were wonderfully accommodating, and made sure we were able to share their brand with our guests. If you've never had the pleasure of tasting the virtuoso of champagne, it is a must!




After a bit of conversation with the first to arrive, I looked up and realized the room was packed!

Wall to wall laughter and clinking champagne glasses sounded miraculously like an opus! An overwhelming response from our friends, family and business associates!

Among the guests that attended were:

Rogan Gregory – Designer for Rogan


Pat Obermier – Creative Director – New York1


Laura Breckenridge - Actress


Bob Doyle, Lana Israel, Gina Pero


Dana Parish – Singer/Songwriter


Julia Haltigan


Scott Irby-Rannier – Singer (formerly of Steel Train)


Ian Mcglynn – Singer/Songwriter


Simon Boyar – Percussionist Extraordinaire


Lydia Gordon – Queen of Vintage and one of my favorite people


Cynthia Altoriso – Stylist (Joey’s)


Peter Ressler and Monika Mitchell-Ressler (Charles’ Parents)


Bob and Linda Sebo – Our Angels

We played a quick set and turned up the heat of the party! The set list was;


-Partita



-Crazy




-Looking In




-Wrapt

On the band stand was Resonance’s genius producer Peter Fish along with Clint de Ganon on drum set and Carlo DeRosa on Bass.



A special thanks to ROGAN for the super chic threads! Rogan's clothing designs are edgy and unique. Their brand possesses oodles of integrity in addition to being totally environmentally conscious.

Tantalizing vocalist Daryl Sherman, stepped in to lend her sultry prowess on Crazy.


Thanks to Carlo and his wonderful feature on Looking In. The band cooked Wrapt! Clint's interpretation on our live rendition of Wrapt was off the hook! The crowd went berserk.

Again, one million thanks to ROGAN for their incredible patients and sweat equity through this process.

Following the Bouwerie Lane Theater party, we continued on to the after party at Plan B. Plan B proved to be more difficult to get to than we thought, but we all got there at one point or another. At the same time as our arrival, HBO was filming a segment on 10th St. and Ave. A. Close friends and family made their way, and danced the night away. Duvel, fine beer, was the hit of after party! Being a HUGE Duvel fan, it was great to see people’s reaction to the “Trappist Monk” brewed beauty. We arrived home close to 4 am. Although it all happened in the blink of an eye, the event is permanently ingrained in our minds, truly resonant! Enjoy the pictures!
