Bursting With Live Music!

On Monday, April 7, 2008 we were joined by Rogiérs and Liv Warfield, two fantastic musicians. This was something that you most certainly did not want to hear about from someone else because you would have wanted to witness it for yourself. Shrine World Music Venue is the place you should have immediately been after work - to have gotten there as early as possible for the best view of the stage.

These ONUTSS Ladies lived high for quite some time off of the momentum of what unfolded. From the humble artist known as Rogiers to the big red tour bus that took up a nice chunk of 7th Avenue to the slimmed down musical powerhouse named Liv Warfield and the legendary Leroy Burgess coming in as a special guest -- the night was one that we both will cherish forever, for always, for the music! Rogiérs graced the ONUTSS stage and gave it his all in all and Liv blessed the ONUTSS audience with a rare New York performance with her band, an ONUTSS oddity. These listening parties get better and better each time!


Check out their videos; we can attest to the fact that you will love them both!


Liv Warfield, is a name that seems to be popping up everywhere you turn these days. Michael Baisden has found his next future ex-wife, and Billboard (online) is now playing her music.






Rogiérs has accomplished heights that others can only wish to attain. Having played alongside Alicia Keys and countless other well-known musicians, this humble brother has an album entitled, "Life & Music: All Of It" - a rarity that gives you head-nodding cuts, midtempos and some mellow grooves that will make you more than satisfied with the investment.








Tomas Doncker & La Sonya Gunter CD Release/Listening Party

What better way to close out a summer filled with unexpected musical moments with a marvelous array of talent like what we had planned for our audience on Thursday, August 28, 2008!

We brought together Tomas Doncker, LaSonya Gunter and Kuku under one roof, on one stage for a special evening -- ONUTSS told you that you needed to add it to your calendar with all the reminders necessary because this was one NOT TO HAVE BEEN MISSED! We celebrated the release of Tomas' new cd, "Small World" -- check out the first single, "Children of Darfur" and share in the experience from his vantage point while jamming to the music.

All three artists are gifted, no question and have special talents in their own right -- did you see the beautiful makeup and artwork displayed on Maya Azucena's "Junkyard Jewel" -- did you know that the lovely LaSonya Gunter was the makeup artist who created that masterpiece? KuKu is based in DC but has begun to make a name for himself and his special blend of acoustic soul.

The turnout was great and the music was fabulous; it was a night that could have gone on into the wee hours of the night!
