PIANIST JASON LYLE BLACK TO PRESENT “A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS” THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

REXBURG (November 13, 2017) —Black is back.  Pianist and YouTube star Jason Lyle Black, who performed a fundraiser in Rexburg earlier this year for the Upper Valley Music Teachers Association, is back for a bigger-and-better Christmas concert featuring local celebrity beatboxer and BYU-I student Parker Kane.

“I’m thrilled to be coming back to Rexburg,” Black notes.  “This is an all-new concert with Christmas music, live audience requests for their favorite Christmas songs, and special guest Parker Kane, with whom I’ll be doing my first-ever piano/beatbox Christmas duet!”

The concert is presented by Idaho Central Credit Union, and supported by Rexburg City and by #LightTheWorld.  Black said his goal is to create a tradition in the Rexburg community for families and the campus community to come together to enjoy Christmas music.

“Specifically, we wanted to provide something fun for families to do over Thanksgiving weekend,” Black notes, as the concert takes place Saturday, November 25, at 7 PM at the Rexburg Tabernacle.  “We know that families are often looking for something fun to do over Thanksgiving weekend, so we created a special “Family pass” for the concert.”

“This is a concert you don’t want to miss,” notes David Love, president of the Upper Valley Music Teachers Association.  “Jason knocked the socks off the audience last time he was here.  His unique mix of music, comedy, and audience improvisation was an absolute hit!”

Tickets are available online at jasonlyleblack.com.  General admission is $12, with seniors/students getting $10 pricing and family passes available for $35.  A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to various community causes, including music education and “Shop with a Cop.”  To see video previews, visit jasonlyleblack.com.

PHENIX RELEASES MUCH ANTICIPATED NEW SINGLE

Nashville, TN (September 4, 2017) – Roxul-Pop sensation and singer/songwriter PHENIX released her newest single, “Ace Game,” today. You can listen to it HERE!

The end-of-the summer anthem features hip and catchy lyrics like “I need some sugar babe, we’ve been out for a couple days…gotta learn to play the monster before you dance with a gangsta, all I order is the fake fur, keep me from that burr,” along with a vintage-yet-modern video.  You can watch the official video HERE!

“One think you can expect from me as an artist is that I will give you every inch of my heart. What I preach is what I stand for – it’s the movement, it’s the essence, it’s the mentality,” the singer explains.

Nashville’s own powerhouse rebel, Phenix, is making a name for herself – standing apart from the common flow. A visionary, singer/songwriter and producer, Phenix has crafted a sound completely her own. Having been described as a blend of soulful warrior infusions, catchy pop melodies and gutty rock edges, Phenix has curated what is the “Roxul Pop” movement. From the depths, unlike anything other on the indie scene, Phenix is a theatrical stamp pioneering out of bounds.

War paint being her main accessory, Phenix stays authentically fashion savvy. With her countless comparisons to Lady Gaga, due to her powerful stage performances and stretchy set of pipes, Phenix has well established her persona to be a true reflection of her movement. “A visual assault that will attack your senses,” Phenix ramps you up with the warrior energy and takes you on a journey to another planet.

By giving you more than a show – by giving you an experience, Phenix will always leave you with something. Coming from a place of true expression and the beauty that becomes you once you have been bathed in life’s fire, Phenix is a movement.
