NEW SITE
Enjoy the new website! I’m excited about the new look, and I hope you find it to be both more enjoyable and also easier to use.  I want to thank the Piano Gallery of Orem for letting me take the new pictures there.

SHEET MUSIC BOOK
I am just inches away from being done with the published version of “Another Point of View”!   The books should be available within two weeks.  You can buy the book on my website, but I’m even more excited that it will be a featured product at Day Murray Music in Murray, Utah!

SALT LAKE SHOW JUNE 11
I’m also very excited  for my concert on June 11 that I’m doing in downtown Salt Lake City. This concert will be held at the Masonic Temple and is for the Academy for Creating Enterprise. I’m excited to play some new songs for everyone that I’ve written recently! Tickets are available at creatingenterprise.org.

CURRENT BOOKING
I’m excited about some other upcoming gigs, including the Best of State awards gala later this month, a high school reunion after that, and some other great shows. All of my booking information (contact info and show descriptions) is available at the top of this page.

Until next time!

I had a GREAT Halloween gig last week – I had the opportunity to perform as the Phantom of the Opera for a masquerade ball up in Salt Lake. It was a blast! The show went great, and I really enjoyed getting to know the host/hostess and their guests. I performed in an underground Parisian theater they had created, and it set the stage perfectly!

For the show, I had put together my own arrangements of all of the songs from Phantom of the Opera, based on the theater recording. Once I can secure the appropriate copyright permissions, I hope to do some Phantom recordings, so sign up for my mailing list and stay tuned.

Then, last night, I had a great show in Pleasant Grove, Utah for an elementary/junior high-school family audience. I played a number of original songs,  did the backwards piano, and hosted a GREAT game of Name that Tune! The kids absolutely loved it. A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who made that night possible – my friends did a phenomenal job putting together sound, lights, staging, sales, filming, and logistics. Thanks to all of you, and thanks to those who helped with sound, costuming, makeup, and logistics from the Phantom shows.

If you’re wondering why you personally didn’t hear about these recent shows, it’s because they’ve been private gigs. But don’t worry–I’m currently working on booking public shows for 2010. However, these will most likely be in the summer, so if you’d like to see a show before then, let’s talk! Send me an email (jlb (at) jasonlyleblack.com) and let’s see what we can do in terms of setting up a private show!

In the meantime, please help me get the word out by sending my music videos and page to your friends on Facebook! Thanks!
