CABARET HOTLINE/CABARET.ORG - Stu Hamstra's site is simply the best! He has the most up-to-date information, the widest variety of acts and venues listed ... and he's a nice guy! Cabaret as an art form has no better friend! Now affiliated with Cabaret.Org, the best information site on the west coast.

PRIVATE ISLAND TRAX - This Hollywood studio is where I record most of the albums on the DUCY LEE label. Studio founders Michael J. McDonald & Robyn Whitney have become good friends of mine over the years (while I've chased their miraculous piano from location to location!) Film music, post , productionpop, country, rap, and (incidentally) theater music ... they do it all.

The West Coast version of MAC in New York, CabWest unites and informs the exploding cabaret scene in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and everywhere else West Coast. I'm a founding member of the group (I brought the cookies!). If you sing or if you just want to find where the singers hang out and perform, visit this site.
TAXI - the leading independent A&R company helping unsigned bands, artists and songwriters get record deals, publishing deals and placement in films and TV shows.  These guys are for real and have connected many music writers to people  within the Entertainment Industry who can help them.
TALKIN' BROADWAY - ...and Talkin' and Talkin'! This New York-based site has all the dirt on all the shows happening and almost happening on "The Great White Way". "Your home on the Internet for theatre news, talk and information". And singer Jonathan Frank has an interview page with cabaret recording artists!
BACKSTAGE ONLINE - "Backstage" "Backstage West" and "Drama-logue" magazines have combined and this site is their online manifestation. Each week there are new feature articles, performance schedules, casting listings, and reviews. Very well done ... but we need to encourage them to review more cabaret!
CITY CABARET - "The online magazine for music lovers". Elizabeth Ahlfors has created this beautiful magazine-style site to celebrate and promote Cabaret entertainment, with articles, profiles, performance schedules and links to Cabaret artist's personal web pages. I'd like to meet this lady!
SHOWMAG.COM - Rob Stevens love-fest with theater and cabaret continues with this online mag featuring reviews, articles and previews of the annual "Robbie" awards!
CULTURE VULTURE - Their masthead says: "A somewhat haphazard and pronouncedly idiosyncratic sharing of matters cultural." Indeed! A thoroughly entertaining site, which includes reviews of Ducy Lee CDs.

MUSICALTHEATER

THE AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATER REFERENCE LIBRARY - This is an amazing site - an easy-to-use internet directory which can give you the contact information you need to find everything from a stage manager to an accompanist, a choreographer to a lighting designer. Songwriter JEFF SCOTT has put together a FREE service site that more than lives up to its name!

People:

LML MUSIC - Singer Lee Lessack's recording company featuring the brightest new stars of cabaret. Lee (himself a wonderful singer) and I swapped ideas about recording companies some time ago and LML and DUCY LEE is the result. Any company with recordings by STACY SULLIVAN and ANNE KERRY FORD is all right with me.  And now they feature DUCY LEE RECORDINGS CDs as well!  I feel like I've come home.
MARY JO MUNDY - Mary Jo is one of my favorite singers.  She may be short in stature (4'11") but she is long on talent.  Her voice is one of the wonders of the world, and she matches it with intelligence, wit and a huge heart.  Do yourself a favor and listen to Mary Jo sing!

LORI DONATO - Lori may be the most modern woman I know.  Her CD "The Road Ain't No Place For A Lady" is getting radio play already and is well worth a listen.  She's a class act.  Funny, sweet and versatile Lori accompanies herself in venues in Los Angeles and in Europe, but this gal loves singing with a band, and does it superbly.  Check her out.

STEVE ROSS - For my money, this is the best cabaret pianist/singer in the business.  Steve has the amazing ability to sing a Cole Porter song you've heard all your life and somehow convince you he's making up the lyric as he goes along.  Sophisticated, sly, charming and often scandalously funny, Steve Ross is the essence of class.

DAVID HOLLADAY - This man is a real charmer! He has wit and intelligence and a great voice combined with a wonderful taste in music. He's appeared in the touring companies of "Assassins" and "City Of Angels" and regularly tours in his own concert series. I had the pleasure of accompanying him recently at The Cinegrill in Los Angeles where David also recorded his recent live CD.
LES MICHAELS - A self-professed "ex-chorus boy", Les loves singers and loves to sing!  He runs one of the best open-mic series in Los Angeles, spotlighting many up-and-comers as well as the more famous of our bretheren.  At both "The Vermont" on Mondays and at the "10-20" in the Bel Age Hotel on Thursday, Les provides a comfortable and nuturing environment for singing and enjoying cabaret.




TOM GROUNDS -  Tom is an actor and singer who is passionate about theater and cabaret!  He's starting TAGLINE MUSIC (www.taglinemusic.com) to promote, produce and record the music he loves, beginning with his own autobiographical album "Something That I Wanted You To Know" which includes two of my songs!

  THE SAVANA TRIO - This is one hip act! DEBRA RAE (in the center) originated the part of Theda Bara in my Hollywood show and then moved on to join JACKIE & BONNIE in this gorgeous-harmonied country trio. They are proud to say no one "stars" in this act - it's a Sisterhood. It's also in-your-face fabulous!





ANGELA LaGRECA - is a comedienne who's performance combines stand-up, musical comedy and impressions.  She the winner of the 2000 Mac Award for  Outstanding Female Comedy and she's a regular on TV's "The View".  Not only is she funny, she has the good taste to perform my song "And A Pizza To Go" in her act!





PAMELA STRONG
- Pamela, along with Phil "PacMan" Campagna and "Thunder" Jackson are Hip Hop Producers with an impressive list of credits.  Pam found me and asked for a link exchange.  As I told her, the disimilarities of our two enterprises make me smile, but it's all music, folk.  In fact, if I ever write a hip-hop song I know just where I'm going to produce it!  Check 'em out.

 


KRISTIN IAZZETTA - This beautiful lady is one of the best singers around.  She's just released her first CD - "Waiting" - on which I had the honor of playing for two tracks.  She interprets everything from standards and jazz to contemporary pop.  You never worry when you listen to her sing or watch her perform.  You know she's going to be wonderful ... and she never disappoints.





DIANNE LEGRO - Dianne Legro is a leadership trainer and master teaching artist at arts centers, colleges and universities, high schools and primary schools, and service organizations. She is an author, lecturer, and professional motivational presenter nationwide and in Europe.  And she's a wonderful soprano as well!  If you need life coaching, vocal coaching or a fine concert artist, Dianne is the one for you.

SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP!:


FOOTLIGHT RECORDS - My favorite store in New York City! They carry everything! One of the first supporters of Ducy Lee. When you're in New York visit them at 13 East 12th Street, downtown.
ARON'S RECORDS - The best collector's store in Los Angeles. Brad Bennett runs their show music department (CDs & LPs) and it's absolutely wonderful. Walk in, turn right, and all the way to the back. Or click the logo!
DRESS CIRCLE - You have further to travel to visit these wonderful people! They call themselves "the greatest Showbiz shop in the world" ... and they just may be. (They carry my CDs, after all!) English to the max! Check 'em out.
MUSICAL-SHOP.DE - Germany's No. 1 online store for musicals with an international clientele. You don't need to speak German to easily find your way around this site (but click on the "globe" icon if you're not sure!). I'm proud to have Ducy Lee CDs featured on their site.
VIRTUAL VOICES - Mike Mendyke and company handle the credit card sales off of websites for rock bands, vocal groups, children's CDs ... and, when I was on my own, Ducy Lee Recordings! The CDs they offer are unique, varied and fascinating. And I can't speak highly enough of Mike!  Check 'em out!



ATLANTIS EVENTS:



ATLANTIS EVENTS - A gay, all-inclusive vacation group for which I regularly perform. If you're gay, need a vacation, and want to have a simply wonderful time, ATLANTIS is the company for you!  Following are links to the websites of some of the extraordinary talents with whom I've I'd the pleasure to work on ATLANTIS trips.  These are the creme de la creme, folks!

SHANN CARR
- One of the best stand-up comics I've ever seen as well as an up-and-coming filmmaker.  In fact, her documentary featuring several of us ATLANTIS regulars entitled "OUT FOR LAUGHS ON THE OCEAN" chronicles the strange and wondrous world of working the "Gay Circuit".  It's making the rounds of the film festivals and getting a lot of attention.  Shann deserves it.




MISS RICHFIELD 1981 - her name and her title - is one of the best and funniest performers I've ever worked with. Check out her website - where butter is a spice and gravy is a beverage - and nothing will ever be quite the same!

ELVY ROSE
- This lady is a powerhouse! I've had the pleasure of working with Elvy on several Atlantis trips (see below) and she is as sweet as she is sexy, and that's saying something! A terrific singer, a magnificent dancer and an inventive comedienne ... Elvy defines the term "triple threat". Check out this Latin Bombshell! 





MATT YEE
- An outrageous performer, Matt combines in-your-face comedy and costumes with wonderful musicianship and craft.  His shows are not to be missed.  When you see him, say "Aloha" for me!



JIM DAVID - Jim is one of the finest comics out there, bar none.  And he is certainly "out there"!  I love watching his shows.  He's had his own special on Comedy Central and was a regular on "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn".  Openly Gay, angry at the stupid people and loving life.  He's the best.







EDIE - Simply "Edie".  She's won every cabaret award in New York City.  She's an incredible dancer, a wonderful comedian and a snappy dresser!  Slightly 60's but oh-so-contemporary, Edie dresses up every stage she's on and every party she attends.  Become a fan: check her out.





EDDIE SARFATY - A regular on Comedy Central's PREMIUM BLEND, and at CAROLINE'S, GOTHAM COMEDY CLUB and STAND UP NEW YORK, this openly gay comic is flat-out funny!  And pretty darn sexy, too!  Eddie is a recent and welcome addition to the ATLANTIS line-up of entertainers.



Robb & Bruce



ATLANTIS CRUISERS.COM - While not entertainers in the strictest sense, BRUCE LENORES and ROBB WALL have a website to enhance any ATLANTIS traveler's good times.  You can find out who will be on your upcoming trip, find a roomate
... maybe even find a date!  And lots of pictures from previous trips.  

An Atlantis pile of Entertainers
l-r:  Russ King (Miss Richfield 1981), Bryan Miller (4 FRIENDS), Bruce McDonald (hypnotist), Andre Kelly (comic), Shann Carr (comic), Wayne Moore (singer/songwriter) & Gilmore Rizzo (4 FRIENDS)

NON-MUSICAL SITES:


123 RELAX - Too many bad show CDs got you all tense? WAYNE McDONALD has some terrific ideas to help you center yourself and feel better, including an online Holistic Web Directory, a bulletin board to get answers to your health questions, and some terrific meditation CDs & tapes!  Now featuring SEASILVER: an amazing vitamin supplement that I take every morning!
TORTOISE GRAPHIK DESIGN - Rick Torres is an honest and dependable website designer - (imagine!) - with a great site of his own. He helped me tremendously in creating this DUCY LEE site and I'm happy to give him a "plug".
