~New Album Release Party Concert Was A Saturday Night Sellout~
Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., the Sinatra-and-Soul singing season six winner of NBC TV's "America's Got Talent," debuted his new album of all-original material, "I'm Not Messing Around," for a sold-out audience at Myron's, the world-famous jazz cabaret inside the Smith Center, Saturday night, August 24th.
Backed by an A-list band of top studio and live performance musicians who also performed on his album, Landau crooned his way effortlessly through all 12 cuts from his album and treated audience members to a special mini-set of Sinatra classics.
"I'm Not Messing Around" was produced by music veteran Rob Hegel, who wrote or co-wrote the album's tracks with Landau. Hegel is a veteran songwriter who has written hits for Air Supply, LaBelle's Sarah Dash, and numerous TV shows and film soundtracks.
Landau shares that he's always 'wanted to make an album like this since winning AGT'. He emphasizes that all the songs are inspired by classics from the Great American Songbook, but with a unique twist. They are performed with the same swagger and style as music icons like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Nat' King' Cole, but with Landau's unmistakable touch, creating a blend that is sure to intrigue music enthusiasts.
Concert highlights included the show’s opening up-tempo“ By The Way," heart-felt future crooner classics "Say You Love Me" and "Honey, I Would Stay With You," the Sinatra-inspired "Beyond The Stars," the title track "I'm Not Messing Around" and show closer, the autobiographical "Call Me A Joker," which earned Landau a standing ovation to wrap up the evening. Landau's new album, 'I'm Not Messing Around ', is available online on all major digital platforms, including Spotify, ensuring that fans can easily access his latest work. Physical CDs are also available at the artist's website, Amazon, at all Adam's Hallmark locations in West Virginia and many additional online retailers.
Landau has upcoming appearances in Alaska, New York City, New Hampshire, and his home state of West Virginia. His 14th annual "Home for the Holidays" concert tour and Kids Joy Toy Drive kicks off December 3rd and will feature dates throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, including a trio of highly anticipated shows with the Charleston SC Symphony Orchestra. After that, he plans to tour behind his new album through 2025.
