SINGLE "LIGHT THE WAY"
* * *
Avery, Who Received Widespread Critical Acclaim And Airplay With Her
Recent Debut Album `The Way You Hold Me', Is Deeply Devoted To Animal
Rescue As Well As The Work Of Environmental And Human Rights
Organizations Like Amnesty International, The Southern Poverty Law
Center, Heart To Heart And The Nature Conservancy.
With the release of her sweeping and inspiring new single, Miami based
singer/songwriter Robin Avery (www.myspace.com/robinavery) and
(www.robinavery.com) is breaking into the American consciousness with
one simple mission: to "Light The Way" for concerned Americans who are
committed to righting social injustices and respecting the environment
by protecting it from the ravages of irresponsible behavior and
harmful government policies.
No message can be effective if it doesn't reach the masses, and the
entrepreneurial Avery is already in gear on several key fronts. For
the week of August 1, "Light The Way" was included as part of the TM
Jones Hit Disc that also had cuts from superstars Tim McGraw, Kenny
Chesney and Natalie Cole as well as singer/comedian Wayne Brady and
Dutch sax sensation Candy Dulfer. TM Studios distributes these discs
to over 5,400 stations worldwide, as well as satellite and internet
networks, websites and the Armed Forces Radio Network.
Avery's cool cover version of The Cars' "Drive," which featured top
smooth jazz saxman Warren Hill and was the featured single on her
debut album The Way You Hold Me, recently received airplay on over 50
smooth jazz stations nationwide. Building on the goodwill of that
genre, she recently signed on with the popular website
www.smoothjazz.com for a four month promotion, which will include
playing "Light The Way" several times a day and a link to YouTube,
where Avery is posting the stunning video she recently created for the
song. The clip features images geared at reminding the viewer about
the magnificence of the planet put in our charge. It was directed by
veteran film director and MTV pioneer Ken Ross of Cyclone Pictures,
Inc., who has directed over 60 music videos for everyone from Keith
Richards and The Smiths to Suzanne Vega.
The smooth jazz community can't stop raving. Sandy Shore of
smoothjazz.com said of Avery's debut: "slick, crisp production, fresh
and cool vocal tunes…create a fantastic listening experience from the
beginning to the final track. Radio & Records' smooth jazz editor
Carol Archer adds, "Avery's a new artist to me - a damned good one, too."
This newfound national attention is an exciting extension of the
popularity and acclaim that Avery has received locally in recent
years. She's performed at numerous city events in Hollywood, Florida
as well as major festivals like the Hollywood International Music and
Arts Festival, the Abacoa Music And Arts Festival , the Miami
International Book Fair and SunFest, the largest outdoor music
festival in South Florida. The past four New Year's Eves, she and her
band have also held court at the historic Las Olas Riverfront Hotel in
Ft. Lauderdale.
