LOS ANGELES, CAL: CRAIG POMRANZ AT THE GARDENIA

MAC Award Winner Craig Pomranz, ("Best Male Vocalist 2012") brings his NEW show to THE GARDENIA (7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444) on Friday & Saturday, February 5th & 6th at 9:00 pm. (Dinner from 7pm). Craig Pomranz arrived in New York like a wunderkind. The city threw open its arms to the fresh-faced triple threat, and it wasn't long before he was playing to sold-out crowds at three clubs at once: Freddy's, East Five Three and Mickey's. He performed at Ted Hook's Onstage, The Duplex, The Ballroom, The Horn Of Plenty, and (pre-comedy) Caroline's. The public and other entertainers (like Peter Allen) were drawn to Craig's individualistic performances, marked by a sense of immediacy and risk, modeled after the classic nightclub acts of idols like Nancy Wilson, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Mel Torme. Then, just as quickly as his star rose, Craig seemed to switch his focus away from the limelight and onto successful ventures in studio work, commercials, and voiceovers. He became a highly sought-after studio singer, and worked frequently with composer/ artists signed to Arista records. He recorded with Barbara Cook and Faith Prince, among others, and contributed to cast recordings for The Secret Garden, Rags and Breakfast at Tiffany's to name a few. His acting and dance skills led to a series of commercial bookings as a dancing can. The development of Craig's studio agenda marked a departure from the nightclub scene that lasted many years. What caused his retreat from the limelight as he seemed poised to grab the brass ring? Call for reservations and cover/minimum information.

NEW BOOK BY DAVID FRIEDMAN RELEASED - NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON

David Friedman, author of "The Thought Exchange", has announced the release of his latest bool "The Healing Power of Negative Thoughts and Uncomfortable Sensations" now available on Amazon.com. In his revelatory new book, David Friedman, author of the best selling book THE THOUGHT EXCHANGE - OVERCOMING OUR RESISTANCE TO LIVING A SENSATIONAL LIFE, looks directly at our "NEGATIVE" thoughts and "UNCOMFORTABLE" sensations and reveals them not as things to be feared or ignored, but rather as messages from our past, tools we can use to heal any long-avoided traumas that may arise when we try to "think positive." How many times in the course of our New Thought studies have we heard phrases such as "Think POSITIVE", "CANCEL those NEGATIVE thoughts" and "Don't think NEGATIVE thoughts or NEGATIVE things will happen!" And how many times, as students and seekers of health and happiness, have we found ourselves unable to stay with that "Think Positive" philosophy and ended up thinking, "There's something wrong with me, I'm just not doing it right." Could it be that by trying to get rid of our "NEGATIVE" thoughts and "UNCOMFORTABLE" sensations, we are, in fact, suppressing, ignoring and avoiding one of the greatest tools we have for healing and living a full life?
