  • Wife Material From Singer Songwriter and Comedian Sydney Kane
    Jun 14 2025
    The talented NYC-based comedian and singer-songwriter Sydney Kane has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely-Broadway stages to the glamorous 9x16 iPhone screen, and beyond. She built a loyal following on social media with her deeply insightful takes on dating, so sharp and relatable that even straight men are taking notes.
    Kane will be filming her musical comedy variety show Wife Material live at The Green Room 42 in New York City on June 18. With musical direction by David Dabbon (arranger for Oh, Mary!, Cat Cohen, Las Culturistas Culture Awards, SNL 50) and direction by Andrew Mullins.The special touches on super relatable topics about the endless, exhausting loop of modern dating. While today's society seems to enjoy and glorify pushing women back to the 1950s, Kane pulls inspiration from comedic greats like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and more to turn and upend her perfectly set dinner table.
    Through original songs, sketch comedy, and unfiltered storytelling, Sydney takes you on a PG-13 (leaning R) rated journey through the most universal experience there is: falling in love. And then falling out. And then falling back in. And then regretting it. And then telling your friends you're done. And then you get over it. And then you meet someone new. And then you fall in love. Does this ever end? You'll have to see the show to find out! (It doesn't. but still see the show.)

  • Breathing Music To Life Through A Harmonica Jerry Portnoy Releases Dancing With Muddy
    Jun 13 2025
    Jerry Portnoy grew up in Chicago hearing the blues being played outside his father's rug store on famed Maxwell Street during the late 1940s and early '50s.
    After dropping out of college, he became immersed in the colorful world of pool hustlers like Cornbread Red, and Minnesota Fats as he managed the largest pool hall in Chicago. During a stint as a paratrooper early in the Vietnam war, he applied for discharge as a conscientious objector, and lived in San Francisco during 1967's "summer of love." While bumming around Europe the following year, Portnoy heard the blues again on a record by Sonny Boy Williamson and instantly became obsessed with mastering blues harmonica.He returned to Chicago and in 1974 he was playing in small Black clubs at night when Muddy Waters plucked him from his day job at Cook County Jail to fill the historic harmonica chair in his fabled band. Eric Clapton followed suit in 1991. In a career that took him from ghetto taverns to the White House and the Royal Albert Hall, he went from the raggedy vans and cheap roadside motels of the blues world to the private jets and five-star hotels of the rock world. Between those two very different gigs was a struggle to survive the vagaries of the music business and the pressures of life on the road. In a remarkable life, he also assisted in surgery, lodged in a Moroccan house of ill repute, and dined at Giorgio Armani's.
    Dancing with Muddy details the surprising, lively, and sometimes bumpy ride of a blues harmonica legend. Dancing with Muddy: Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, and My Lucky Life In and Out of the Blues is the memoir of Blues harmonica legend Jerry Portnoy, who details the surprising, lively, and sometimes bumpy ride of his life and career. Jerry was discovered and recruited by Muddy for the prestigious role of harmonica player in his band after hearing him play the instrument in clubs on Chicago's South Side. Jerry got to play in the White House, the Royal Albert Hall, and many of the world's stages. He also found himself in shocking and exciting situations, like assisting in surgery, dining at Giorgio Armani's and working at the Cook County jail.
    With Blues music seeing a renewed interest thanks to the immense success of the movie Sinners, Jerry can be a valuable insider voice to the genre's history and evolution. He lives on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
