January Newsletter

I'm still trying to catch my breath after a busy December and holiday season. No sooner had we gotten home when six days later we were invited to go to the Army Navy game that was played in Washington D.C. for the first time. It was freezing, but we enjoyed ourselves because we were with friends we hadn't seen in a long time.  


Now I'm in full musical swing; I'm working hard to get ready for the wonderful projects we have planned for 2012. I'm excited about singing at Mariposa Restaurant. I'm looking forward to our
three night engagement during Valentine's weekend. Mariposa is a hidden gem on the third floor of Neiman-Marcus in the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables, Florida. The food is delicious and the service is sensational.

Happy Valentine's Day! This is one of my favorite holidays, being the "hopeful" romantic that I am. I love celebrating Love and would love for you to join me.

Lots of Smiles,

Sylvia

October Newsletter

We have left Carmel and we are taking with us many wonderful memories. We had two sold-out dinner shows at Bistro 211. I felt so fulfilled because it seemed that everyone left with a little bit of romance in their hearts including myself! We traveled to Pleasanton where I performed at the grand opening of Nonni’s Bistro. I was really happy to perform out here in California. It added to an already great year celebrating the release of Smile. In addition to performing, I was able to spend a lot of time with my friends both old and new. Some of the highlights are the 16th Annual Chili Cook-off in Carmel Valley (It was really hard to vote for the best one because they were all fabulous!) and I got to perfect my golf game.

During this time, we have been working on updating the website. I partnered with Smooth Creative Services, SmoothJazz.com’s artist branding division to create a luxurious new look. It is up and running and I would love for you to check it out: SylviaBennett.com.

We are officially on the road again. Our first stop is New Port Beach, California. After that we will be traveling to many places across the country. I look forward to sharing my adventures with you next time.

Lots of Smiles,
Sylvia

 

July 2010 Newsletter

How did it become July already? I have been so busy in the studio, doing performances and video editing that time has just slipped by.

I finished my 2009-2010 performance season with the First Anniversary celebration of The Women of the Roundtable. They are a sisterhood of Love, Honor and Connection and the way they encourage each other is truly remarkable. I was so honored to be part of this event. We also worked long hours on a few videos for Smile (and a few other goodies) which you will be able to see up on YouTube in the upcoming weeks. Finally, it is bittersweet that I have completed my eleventh song for my Spanish CD. I have one more song to record to complete the project. As much as I enjoy releasing a new CD, I also enjoy the process of choosing the songs and being in the studio. Bringing this one to an end definitely makes me wistful.

Last month I was excited to share with you that Smile had reached #24 on the Jazzweek World Music Charts. I am happy to inform you that 7 weeks into it we have peaked at #22! I thank you all for your support and, if you haven’t heard any of my songs on your favorite radio station, send me their call letters and I will be happy to submit a copy of Smile to them.

One of my biggest joys, during our video editing projects, was to do a special rendition of the National Anthem to honor America and the men and women that serve our country. I leave you now with this video clip (if you are unable to see it, please click here).

Happy 4th of July!

Lots of Smiles,

Sylvia

 

 

 

February Newsletter

February 1, 2010

Words cannot describe how excited I am because I just received the shipment of my new album. I finally can reveal the title to you! It’s called SMILE. It is a collection of wonderful standards we love with a twist to make you smile. Our official release date will be April 20th. Between now and then, our publicist and radio promoter will take care of sending it out for reviews and airplay, we will be shooting a video, updating our website and sending it out to iTunes, Amazon and other outlets.

Don’t think that February 14th is the only day you can celebrate a romantic Valentine’s Day. I will be performing for the first time at the Mariposa Restaurant at Neiman-Marcus in Coral Gables. We will start the celebration on Thursday, the 11th with nightly shows until Sunday, the 14th. I just saw the menu and it is absolutely fabulous!

Everyone who came to the Bertofino’s show on January 23 could not stop raving about the food and service. If you can’t make it to Mariposa, I will be having my Come to the Cabaret Show at Bertofino’s on February 20th.

The details to both events are below. I hope you will join me.

Enjoy every day with your loved ones and I wish you a very Happy Valentine’s Day.

From the heart,
Sylvia

California in August

I love Californa and spend several months there every year and always love performing there as well as spending vacation time. I'm excited about being in southern California in early August.  California friends mark your calendars now and plan to be at the Catalina Jazz Club at the Catalina Bar & Grill where I will perform Aug. 6 this year.  It's a great venue and I so look forward to seeing many of my California friends and fans there. --- from the heart -- Sylvia
