Another fine review for my Kurt Weill cabaret - "Whiskey Bars is, hands down, my pick for best of venue and I'm willing to bet it's the best thing at the Fringe, period" http://www.viewmag.com/2026-FRINGE+FESTIVAL+REVIEWS.htm
excited to see that my CD distribution company CD Baby, has set me up with a Spotify Streaming site.  If you have a subscription you can listen to all of the songs from my three CDs. I can  watch as people around the world play my music!  https://play.spotify.com/search/bremner%20duthie

still in a slump, despite the beautiful weather in New Orleans, crashing through the pages of my old website, trying to update it to new ambitions.  One bright spot is that I keep finding these nice old reviews.  Like this http://www.plankmagazine.com/review/whiskey-bars-kabarett-songs-kurt-weill
and this one makes me smile!

"captivating performances of his songs. These are beautifully delivered with power and emotion, set to a hauntingly sparse piano accompaniment. At times we are magically transported to 1930’s Berlin."
having a bleh, 'why did I ever choose this artistic life' kind of day... so I'm redoing my website a bit and looking through some old reviews to cheer myself up

this one was nice

by the time we arrived at the chillingly Speak Low - calm on the surface, yet bubbling with undercurrents of febrile yearning - we were left with no doubt whatsoever that we were in the presence of a true master of his craft. Still, it doesn't take long to warm to the monologue format, a play interspersed with songs - a solo musical, if  you will.
