A
singer who sings to your soul…
Singer/songwriter/song stylist Raspin Stuwart’s life and career can best be
described as a Tale of Two Cities – Chicago and Los Angeles, that is!
However, these two cities are just starting points for a performer with
truly universal appeal..
Born and raised in the Chicago area, Raspin was surrounded by the influences
of the blues and jazz music greats of the era, as well as the popularity of
the singer-songwriter music genre of the 1970s that begat one-of-a-kind
talents such as Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen and Cat Stevens. His music
is equally informed by the entirety of his adult life in Los Angeles,
measured by his professional successes over the decades since arriving in
the City of Angels to seek his fame and fortune at the tender age of 17.
Like the music heroes who today remain relevant, serious music lovers of all
ages relate to Raspin’s performances, his complex and intriguing lyrics, and
inspired covers of classics.
Raspin’s emotional vocals, striking lyrics impact brightly on the listener,
a stark contrast to his hypnotic melodic background. As evidenced on his new
CD, NY2LA , his eclectic mix of theatrical, captivating and soulful music
provides the perfect follow-up to his critically acclaimed,
Starbucks-endorsed CD, We Do What We Do. Tracks on his NY2LA include a
reggae version of “Smoke the Hookah,” the jazzish “New York 2 L.A.,” “Love
Along the Way” (a unique pop hybrid rooted in the 1960s), the soulful,
down-home warmth blues of “Mama’s Got the Blues,”.
Keeping Raspin in demand after long ago establishing himself in the music
world is the fact that he remains the newest and freshest “veteran”
musician, singer, songwriter and song stylist working today. His appearances
at NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) in recent years, as well
as his inclusion in the stellar lineup for Southern California’s Make Music
Pasadena concert at Levitt Pavilion Pasadena, underscore his continued
relevance in these unpredictable times, are the latest high points Raspin’s
unique style allows him to be right at home anywhere, from the smallest,
intimate theater to an energetic blues club. Raspin was the opening musical
performance for author Marianne Williamson, and has been described as “a
music guru... who makes us think,” by the Life Changes Network BBS. His fans
are mesmerized when they attend his live shows and absorb his soulful music
into their hearts and minds.
“A tremendously soulful singer and songwriter” who has been described in
recent reviews as a force ‘of nature’ who is ‘in the business of show
stopping,” -Paul Zollo songtalk/blueline
