John Henry of "Audiophile Audition" reviewed Musique Noire's CD, "Good Hair". An excerpt:
"The instrumentation may seem a bit unusual, but the clever arrangements bring it all together in an exciting and tuneful fashion. Some of the string quartet/crossover albums have not quite gotten it in the groove, but Musique Noir (sic) is swinging."

Thanks to Peter Karoly for the wonderful review!
I had the chance to do some reflecting. I'm giving photography a go as a full time gig, wish me luck! Part of this means I'm doing work with different clients, and taking on work entirely different from what I'm accustomed to doing.
I recently hired on at Metromix doing basically the same as what I did here at DetroitCity. So far, I absolutely love it. They've sent me out on some killer assignments. I got to do a costume shoot with a dozen models at Halloween USA, a feature on Halloween decorations, a Singles Mingle with Channel 955, Hareball 2009 at Club 22, the Betsey Johnson Fashion Show at MBarGo, Hairball at The Bank, and this weekend I'm assigned to the Bone Bash at the Royal Oak Music Theatre and the Detroit Erotica Ball.
I also got the opportunity to do a shoot for Greek Yearbook, doing portraiture work for two sororities at Central Michigan University.
I've increased my rates to reflect the worth of my photography, and have begun
amassing the right equipment for a portable studio. Hopefully it's going to work out, because I love what I do.
And of course, feel free to check out my website and purchase prints.
After a strong couple months of shows. We are back at practice for a short while to work on more originals.
We have 4 new songs that are ready to go and be added to our set.
We are still looking for good booking opportunities in October, November and December.
the printed version of my writing/poetry preview collection ~ pages ~ is now available at schuler books & music on 28th street in grand rapids, michigan - www.schulerbooks.com ...
come to my show @ Sterlingfest this Saturday Aug 1st @ 7pm. Free
