Panay Goes Virginia
Hearsay frequently gets notes from performers about their special appearances. Hearsay generally files these announcements under “Self-Promotional PR Crap” with intent to revisit them later. But Hearsay then goes out and — well, you know the story — drinks fifteen-too-many dirty martinis (shaken, then stirred, then stirred again, then shaken, then drizzled, then shaken one more time for good measure), and forgets all about the notices, which go unseen, unsung, unheard, unattended to, just plain un. Well not this time! Not now that Hearsay has a daily obligation to post something to this website, lest the wrath of the almighty Editor be felt full force and Hearsay’s precious supply of imported Lithuanian garlic-stuffed olives is given the padlock treatment! So, that said, here’s what Hearsay received this morning from Miss Rachel “I Live in New York, but I Can’t Seem to Leave D.C.” Panay, a rising divette on the music scene.
I am singing at Freddie‘s in Va. this Saturday, 9/8 at 9pm. My sets will include songs made famous by artists like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Liza Minelli & Michael Buble! I’ll cap it off with a performance of my new single “Its Got To Be Love” AND I will have some free giveaways of my full album as well as copies for sale in case you haven’t bought it yet! Hope to spend some quality time with you in the intimate but lively ambiance of jazz ballads and big band swing…. Then on Sunday, 9/9 I will be out and about early to hear DJ Ting spin at Delirium the new DC party in Dupont Circle at P St. & 22nd. Ting will be debuting new mixes of my songs “Its Got To Be Love” and “Shine On”. Don’t miss it! He’ll be followed by DJ Kevin DuRard…. AND if you have a free moment, please check out ANOTHER incredible review and feature titled “Love at First Listen” at this link! I am blown away at how much great press my album is getting all over the country! Hope you enjoy! Hope to see you all there! xoxo Rachel
There. Everyone happy? Okay. Hearsay is now going back to bed with a hot water bottle, a moistened Q-Tip and one of its four cats. Who will be the lucky little pussytat this morning? Here kitty, kitty….
