Joseph Campbell Lectures - Featured in Parabola Magazine! 01.13.2010
 
The Collected Lectures of Joseph Campbell Parabola Magazine, the much-esteemed journal of 'Tradition, Myth, and The Search for Meaning,' has cast a huge spotlight on our new Collected Lectures of Joseph Campbell series by featuring a special excerpt from the series in their newest issue, entitled The Future.

 

Joseph Campbell on 'The Future'

In a special arrangement with Parabola Magazine and the Joseph Campbell Foundation, series editor (and Roomful of Sky founder) Phil Robinson has selected a portion from the recently released Lecture I.1.5 - The Vitality of Myth, in which the always illuminating Campbell expresses his thoughts on a personal, creative and spiritual approach toward manifesting one's own future.

And Also... A Short Piece by Phil Robinson

And as a bonus, the new issue of Parabola Magazine also includes a short introductory piece by Roomful of Sky Records founder Phil Robinson, in which Phil shares a bit of his own journey, as well as the inspiration he's derived from Campbell's writings.

The new issue is OUT NOW-- look for it on newstands, or online!

No Photographs is yet to receive a single review less than FIVE STARS.

With fan-favorite songs such as "June", "Last Rites" and "Apartment" on regular rotation on college and commercial radio stations throughout the NY tri-state area ( WBAR, WMCX, WTSR, etc. ), No Photographs in its physical release has already proven to be a huge success for this artist on the rise.
 


Jason Vitelli - Her Kind Eyes

 
Charitable Donation of Proceeds.

Jason has chosen to donate a portion of all revenue from sale of No Photographs to Project Renewal, and has also been helping to raise awareness for this NY-based organization at his performances around the city. Project Renewal's mission is to renew the lives of homeless men and women in New York City, and they are the only organization in New York that provides everything homeless people need to move from the streets to independent living.

The Industry Speaks!

"He's so good... so good... I just want to punch him!"
           -- Pete Fogel, Booking Agent at The Bitter End

"Jason writes wonderful, complex, catchy melodies, literate lyrics (not so common in pop and rock, from my perspective), he can rock, he's soulful, his songs are full of feeling and he's got a great voice that he uses as another instrument in his arrangements."
           -- Barry Diament, Soundkeeper Recordings

"Dude... that Jason guy makes some fun tunes."
           -- Robert Smith, Kenny's Castaways

~~~

The Fans Speak!

"Jason Vitelli is one of that rare breed called a lyricist. His songs are not minutes of repetitive hooks, with one decent stanza of story. His words and phrasing are what make every song he sings a complete story and completely his own. Easily switching through the very bluesy "June", the cry of "Zeta Male", and the moody instrumental 'Upon the Dead Avenue' this CD with Jason's warm tenor at the helm is graceful, straightforward, emotional. "No Photographs" is impossible to label and is just as impossible to put down."
           -- Raivenne

"Listening to Jason Vitelli's new CD,"No Photographs" is a like taking a journey through a myriad of musical genres, all performed with great musical skill and talent. Jason plays and composes on several instruments. This includes having a pleasing and impassioned voice. I have listened to this CD over and over again, and each time, the songs come alive with intriguing poetic lyrics and unique musical arrangements. I'm sure you will enjoy his music also!"
           -- Sandra Noble, Songwriter/Educator

"'No Photographs' by singer/songwriter extraordinaire Jason Vitelli could have been appropriately called "No labels." Mr. Vitelli touches on many musical genres in this auto-biographical collection of one man's journey through life. Kudos to Mr. Vitelli for his outstanding lyrics and vocals, and wonderful arrangements."
           -- Bob Borress

Setting Stages on Fire!

On the live front, Jason's blistering and bluesy performances continue to draw raves and large crowds at landmark venues throughout the NY area, including the legendary clubs The Bitter End and Kenny's Castaways, where he's a regular performer. Jason has started to bring his brand of music to colleges as well, recently selected to feature at Rutgers University's 2009 New Jersey Folk Festival.

All-Star Performances at Annual Birthday Bash! 05.04.2009
 
Roomful of Sky Audiences were treated to what became a 'Roomful of Sky All-Stars' show when Roomful of Sky label-mates Jessica Lee, Jason Vitelli and Bobby Kane (along with new friend Brandon Whightsel) joined Phil Robinson on-stage for his annual birthday show at Uncle Mike's in downtown Manhattan last month.

Phil decided to commemorate the occasion by turning his show into a celebration of the warm community of musicians surrounding him at Roomful of Sky Records. The night highlighted each guest's unique vocal style, as each singer sang individual verses and the ensemble harmonized together on the choruses.

~~~

The performance included spirited renditions of some of Phil's favorite songs, including Woody Guthrie's Hard Travellin' and Bruce Springsteen's If I Should Fall Behind, sung as a celebration of the real-life friendship between the musicians.

The highlight of the night was most definitely Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah in which the ensemble's gospel harmonies hushed the otherwise rowdy bar into silence and sent shivers through the spines of the audience.

All-in-all, another great night of music! Look for some videos from this all-star summit coming soon to our site...
