LIVE@FYI, JAMNOW and Great Music

blessid union of soulsNew York City based online media company For Your Imagination today announced the next round of artists and new developments surrounding their popular series, LIVE@FYI, a web series devoted to showcasing the best and most promising artists the music industry has to offer.

LIVE@FYI joined forces with JamNow to bring Blessid Union of Souls in front of the cameras on Friday, May 2nd in the For Your Imagination studio.  Best known for their Top Ten single “I Believe,” the Cincinnati-based quintet will be on tour all summer.  The partnership with JamNow will be a strategic one, allowing each company to promote their programming to a wider base of fans.  Both companies will also combine certain resources including the bookings of artists while partnering on the technical aspects of the show.  

“The partnership with JamNow was a good fit for us both in terms of widening our reach and allowing us some more technical flexibility in how we present the show,” said John Henkel, For Your Imagination’s Vice President of Artist and Industry Relations.  “Our combined ability to book artists along with our video crew and JamNow’s start of the art audio made this an easy decision.”

Singer-songwriter Jay Clifford follows on May 8th as part of his nationwide Spring Acoustic Tour 2008.  Jay will be performing songs from his recent debut Driving Blind and is working with Scrubs star and actor Zach Braff on the video for his new single “Know When To Walk Away.”

On May 9th, LIVE@FYI makes its first foray into hip-hop with a performance by the skyrocketing Blitz The Ambassador.  Blitz will be performing alongside DJ J. Period, marking the first official collaboration between the two.

May 15th will feature an exclusive online performance from red hot MC Joe Budden with a performance the following day from Blue Note’s The Wood Brothers.    

Each episode of LIVE@FYI will be streamed live over the Internet using the live online broadcasting platform Mogulus, and consists of both a live performance as well as intimate discussions with the artists and behind the scenes moments. The show is hosted by For Your Imagination’s own Jon Johnnidis.  The show can be found at www.liveatfyi.com.
