RISE AND SHINE CD Release Party Footage Released for the first time

The 2002 release of the Rise and shine CD was the official coming out party for Transcendence, being the first Ed Hale related album since 2000′s Acoustic in New York . The video footage of the CD release party was thought to be lost. In fact, the video tapes are still missing, which is too bad, because it was a grand affair. But an 8 minute Rise and shine CD release party video montage that was created in the summer of 2002 by Capsule Media was just recently discovered. It features original band members Stro on bass and Jon Rose on keyboards and a very nervous Ed singing the songs Mother and Tres cool from the rise and shine CD, and also Minnie Driver and Keep moving on from the group’s next CD Sleep with you. The video closes with the band performing Better luck next time at an undisclosed venue.

Transcendence Live at Jazid DVD Released!

Transcendende Live at Jazid

On Sept 29th of this year Transcendence performed a live acoustic show at a small club called Jazid on Miami Beach during the MTV VMA weekend. The show was video taped with several cameras and recorded live from the board. What started out as a very low key impromptu show turned out to be a stellar performance with many high notes, including songs from their latest CD Sleep with you and a few songs from their soon to be released new CD Nothing is cohesive, and two additional brand new songs from the new CD they have just begun recording for release next year. Because the concert was acoustic it has a very subdued intensity that is rare for the band and really captures the songs in their purest form. The video footage was edited and the audio then digitally mastered. The DVD is being released as a limited run and will not be sold in stores initially, but through an exclusive arrangement with cdbaby.com will be offered FREE with any purchase of one or more of the band’s CDs from cdbaby.com.

Ed Hale performs for Brazilian Minister of Industry

On a recent trip to Brazil to study, Ed Hale performed a solo acoustic show for select guests including the country’s Minister of Industry, in the state of Goaiz. The acoustic set featured 6 songs. Most of the songs came from his 1996 release Acoustic in New York. Also included was a Brazilian classic “Desde que samba e samba”. It is reported that Ed has become so enamored with the music of Brazil, that he is thinking of recording an entire album there. His recent visit to Brazil to study the language of Portuguese and the Brazilian music sensation Samba is a clear indication that his inspiration is now being directed toward the culture of the region. Although the concert was not televised, Ed was interviewed on local television.
