| Angel Zuniga launches his debut solo CD on Zunimar Music Angel Zuniga Martinez launches Zunimar Music, his debut solo CD called The Cage, and a Back from Break Showcase at the Bijou Theatre with a Sonicbirds contest. Zunimar Music, a Tennessee-based record label and BMI affiliated music publishing company, is looking for a talented singer/songwriter to perform Saturday, February 6th, at their "Back from School Break Showcase." The selected artist can expect enormous publicity, an electric audience and a very good time. This artist will be the opening act for the showcase, which also happens to be a joint CD release party for Angel Zuniga Martinez and Hyfantis & the Bishops Band. This lucky artist must be a local or regional acoustic singer/songwriter possessing a smooth, R&B flair. This gig is nonpaying, but offers an artist the opportunity to receive exposure and networking capabilities. The selected artist will open up for Hyfantis and the Bishops Band, who will bring their smooth, R&B-influenced pop-rock sounds to the Bijou, using the event to debut their first full length CD. The Sonicbids member will find great company in Kevin, as his voice and songwriting reflects that of Bruce Springsteen, Ray LaMontagne, and a young Rod Stewart. In addition, Angel Zuniga Martinez will perform songs from The Cage, his debut solo CD release. Martinez has performed at Bonnaroo 2007 with his former band Angel and the Love Mongers. His music can be compared to Morrissey and Freddie Mercury one moment, then Jim Morrison and Freddie Fender the next. Selected artists will share the stage with these talented performers, all industry savvy and experienced. This is a rockin' opportunity for a qualified artist to open up for incredible acts, to reach a diverse audience and receive great publicity. The Back from School Break Showcase is an affordable and fun concert, showcasing up-and-coming indie artists. The event will be held on the US Cellular Stage at the Bijou Theatre located downtown 803 S Gay St, Knoxville, TN. This event is targeted towards the University of Tennessee college students and Knox County School kids of all ages. About Zunimar Music: In November 2009, singer/songwriter and former banker, Angel Zuniga Martinez, conceived the idea of a local Knoxville, indie performing artist collaborative designed for and run by artists. The idea led to the formation of ZUNIMAR Music- a record label & BMI Affiliated music publishing company. The company has begun to launch an affordable local Knoxville concert series that creates a diverse cultural experience. From original Jazz and R&B to Gospel and Alternative Latino Rock, The local showcases will help foster unique relationship building. These artists will have an atmosphere to connect with their target audience and sponsors while supporting nonprofit agencies that are making a difference addressing social concerns artists voice within their art. Selected artists can also get involved in future educational music workshops along with helping build a licensing and publishing library of songs for placement within TV, Film, and commercials. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
