"What if Marvin Gaye were still alive today? Would his iconic recordings have evolved with this musicianship?"
Broadway Records announced today that multi GRAMMY®-nominated vocal powerhouse Ryan Shaw brings his new studio album IMAGINING MARVIN to life with a concert appearance at The Cutting Room (44 E 32 St, NYC) on Thursday, October 14th, 2021.
Advance tickets for the concert at The Cutting Room are $25 and available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ryan-shaw-imagining-marvin-tickets-157262557543
Of the inspiration behind IMAGINING MARVIN, Ryan Shaw comments, ""In life we have 'what ifs' Some lead to regret; others lead to possibilities. What if Marvin Gaye were still alive today? Would his iconic recordings have evolved with this musicianship? Would he still be writing from his ever-evolving perspective? We will never have a definitive answer. But maybe the next best thing is to imagine."
