Clara Lofaros New Release Perfekt World
It's here..FINALLY..and I couldn't be more proud of the masterpiece we created for your listening and booty rumping pleasure! Here's what they're saying about Perfekt World already. “The album, produced by Mark Turrigiano, (Ingrid Michaelson's, Boys and Girls) continues the tradition of the new-age female singer/songwriter genre, carved out by such mainstream mainstays as Feist, Amy Winehouse, and Regina Spektor. The single, "Waterfall" will fit all mainstream rock/pop radio formats and is surrounded on both sides by an album so complete, it will challenge Morrisette's, Jagged Little Pill from start to finish.…” Check out Claralofaro.com, and the myspace and facebook links to hear a teaser of the new music and watch live video clips from our last show at Gramercy Theater with Emerson Hart.

Please Help Jessica Rose
Neuroblastoma is a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the nerve tissue of the adrenal gland, neck, chest or spinal cord mainly in children age five years or younger. The younger the child and the earlier it is detected, the better the chance of curing the disease 100%, especially if the cancer is localized. Neuroblastoma is one of the most deadly childhood cancers over the age of one and once metastasized. Usually, by the time the symptoms appear, the disease has progressed to Stage 4. Hundreds of children are diagnosed each year with Neuroblastoma Stage 4. This is a very difficult cancer to beat once it has reached Stage 4. This less than favorable prognosis does not deter doctors, researchers, parents and supporters from doing everything humanly and spiritually possible to try and prolong the child's life with various treatment options as a search for a cure continues.
