Fabulous gig and new CD update

The Follen Angels had a great evening at TCAN (Center for the Arts in Natick) on Saturday, September 12th. The house was packed and very enthusiastic. The music of Gershwin and Cole Porter inspired us to create new arrangements and the audience responded so well. Can't wait for a return engagement in this dynamite venue in Metrowest.

Speaking of Gershwin and Cole Porter, we have finished our new CD- Title is , "I Got Rhythm: In love with Gershwin and Cole Porter"-We have had it mixed and mastered. Now, on to the artwork with Bob Bond, graphic designer. Hoping to have a release within the next couple of months. Please stay tuned!

Stacey Marcus, of the Marblehead Reporter, wrote:

"I was instantly smitten with the Follen Angels and their unique presentation of music. The group has the robust talent of a big band coupled with the intimate charm and allure of a glamorous piano bar entertainer from a sequined era. All in all, it was a toe tapping good time that made me want to don an evening gown, color my lips ruby red and sip a bubbly glass of champagne"

The Follen Angels will fill the air with the incomparable melodies and sophisticated lyrics of Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, and more great composers. Some much loved songs include "Blue Skies," "Johnny One Note," "Steppin' Out With My Baby," "Bewitched," " Cheek to Cheek," "What'll I Do?," "My Funny Valentine," and many more favorites.
