Feature: Mayes, Errico, Cahill, And More Make Magic In Internet Offerings

As the weeks of quarantine add up, the amount of online content to inspire and entertain compounds. Artists create and share via their Youtube channel, their Facebook page, and Instagram, while social media groups like QUARANTINED CABARET and THE ARTIST SPOTLIGHT provide a place for diversion and discussion. Art, it would appear, is needed now, more than ever, and people are proving that they will do anything to create and enjoy it.

Here are some of the latest creations to come out of the artists of New York City.

---NYC Songwriters Anya Turner & Robert Grusecki invite you to join them in "The Music Room." Inspired by Yo-Yo Ma's #SongsOfComfort project, Turner & Grusecki have been creating songs of hope for the challenging times in which we are all living:

"Don't Worry", easy to say but hard to do: HERE

"Good Times Are Just Around The Corner", the perfect song to sing while you're washing those hands: HERE

"My Chosen Family", a heartfelt declaration of love: HERE

"Handle Me With Care", what it means to take care of one another: HERE

"Stay Home", responding to the call: HERE

---Marieann Meringolo came to her fans with a special song she has performed in her past shows, admitting it has been a while, offering it up as a healing prayer from her to everyone. See Marieann's "Forever Young" HERE

-- The San Francisco Lesbian Gay Freedom Band gathered together via their computer monitors to perform the classic tune about their hometown, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," featuring bi-coastal cabaret star Leanne Borghesi joining them on vocals HERE
