BREAKING NEWS... 

 BLUJAZZ LABEL SLATED TO RELEASE ALBUM!!!

Critically Acclaimed Vocalist Needs Your Help!

Hi Everyone! I'm Marieann Meringolo...

Pronounced MARIE-ANN  MA-RING-GO-LOW. Now, I promise you with practice it will get easier! 

I'm a NYC based vocalist/recording artist (click here to learn more about Marieann Meringolo http://marieannmeringolo.com) and I'm very excited to introduce you to my newest CD project that I'm hoping moves you as much as it has moved me recording it:

"Between Yesterday and Tomorrow: The Songs of Alan & Marilyn Bergman." 

I recorded this album live with my incredible team...my Musical Director and Arranger on Piano, Doyle Newmyer. Doyle and I have worked together for over the last 17 years and he is the genius behind all of my arrangements. Also featured are my bass player, Boots Maleson and drummer Sipho Kunene...I call them My Fabulous Trio, all neatly packaged together by my brilliant Director, Will Nunziata. 

And, now I'm currently in the process of mixing and mastering with my engineer, the accomplished and very talented Lance McVickar!

*And, now for the Breaking News... 

As I was putting this campaign together I learned that the Album is now slated to be Released on an actual Label... Blujazz Label and Promotions! This is such exciting news! So, this means...CD Distribution, Promotion to NPR/Public Radio Stations, Mainstream Jazz and College Radio. Potential articles and press in major jazz publications, future booking and touring in the US and Europe! https://www.blujazz.com/

The Concert was recorded live on August 13, 2017 at The Iridium in New York City, 1650 Broadway in the heart of Times Square. Many of you reading this were actually there at the Live Concert Recording! Now, I've heard the unmixed version, which by the way sounds amazing, and I promise you...Your cheers and applause will be represented loud and clear on this album! 

This Live Concert Recording celebrates the Three Time Academy Award-Winning Husband and Wife songwriting team, Alan & Marilyn Bergman. Who by the way are celebrating 60 years of marriage together this year! Isn't that amazing!!?? So, I think they might have a thing or two to say about life and love.

Celebrating them and their songs is a dream come true for me!

I personally have been drawn to their songs for so many years. And, I just love interpreting their beautiful, amazing, poignant, heartfelt and deep lyrics. I mean every time I sing one of their songs, it's like I'm singing it for the first time...going on a brand new journey, Every - Single - Time! And, the collective beauty is that their songs offer that same powerful journey to the listener as well. That's why I feel so passionate about getting this album out there and into your hands! 

The Album is a collection of 18 of their most beloved songs, such as:

1. Where Do You Start?
2. What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life?
3. How Do You Keep The Music Playing?
4. Nice 'N' Easy
5. The Way We Were
6. The Windmills of Your Mind
7. On My Way To You
8. Between Yesterday and Tomorrow...and 10 More!​

By you contributing to this project...You will be helping make a Dream Come True for me! Singing and expressing myself through song is my true passion and the reason I feel I was put on this earth. I love to give emotionally to my audience and receive all that love back! There truly isn't anything like the energy of a live performance and that amazing energy was caught on this recording...You can just feel it, even if you weren't there live.

And, now You as the contributor can make this CD a reality!

Thank You

These songs speak for themselves and they come with a Universal Truth...and that Truth is: In Love we are all the same...We all hurt, we all cry, we all feel passion and our biggest gift is to love so deeply that we see beyond the faults of this world and each other, and to remember that love is always the answer, no matter what.

And, it's through these songs of love, life and hope that connect us all and make us realize that together we can achieve anything!
