The event will feature special guests: Aneesa from the Real World and Natasha Chantel (model for Ink & HipHop Magazine); the event is sponsored by Vitamin Water.

While the finishing touches are being put on Mizzy's first solo album, the label is feeding fan frenzy by providing full song streaming on their website of tracks including: "Y'all Don't Really Hear Me Tho" and "Dreams Money Can Buy" in tandem with the songs' videos. Mizzy has also just added perhaps one of his favorite tracks; "Is It Worth It" with free streaming; all of which will be featured on the new album. To listen and view, go to www.FrankMizzy.com.

Hip Hop Artist Frank Mizzy was the driving force in the group Diverse Elegance that was nominated as "Group of The Year" at both the Underground Music Awards and the Indie Elite Music Awards. Mizzy is now going after his dream - a solo career.

Off to a flying start, on March 19, Mizzy was named the winner of the "People's Choice Award" at the Pyramid Club in NYC after competing against many other top performers. As part of his prize package, he will be receiving a great deal of press in/on: HoodgrownOnline.com, Royalty Magazine, OnTheRiseRadio, interviews on "Rockin with N.A.B" on BlogTalkRadio, "Fresh Fridays" with Host Gemz on StreetThoughts.org, "Da Cypher Show" with Mr. 14, Mr. Legacy & DJMVP on DTFradio.com and Street Cypha Radio and will have the featured position on the soon-to-be-released "Unsigned Heat" DVD; all leading up Mizzy's first solo album due out in mid-2012.

Despite the devotion to his artistry, Mizzy balances work as the President of Capital Grind Entertainment, continual songwriting and finishing his Master's Degree. A savvy businessman, during college Mizzy met his current business partner, DJ In.tel. Since the day they met it's been a shared dream to push the envelope on how far they can take their musical passion for themselves as artists, and for other artists they believe in. They began with a mixtape series for In.tel that was used as a promotional tool for their own music and their eventual success led to the opportunity of hosting their own live shows & college tour events – thus the birth of Capital Grind Entertainment, LLC

Concentrating right now on the career of the emerging hip hop artist and co-owner of the company, Frank Mizzy promotes leadership and perseverance through his music. He maintains a positive influence on those around him and hopes his music will do the same.

Acclaimed Backing and Session Vocalist takes center stage on her inventive tribute CD melding Contemporary Jazz, R&B and World Music influences to breathe life into classic songs.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2010 -- Lynne Fiddmont may be an unfamiliar name to some, but in music circles frequented by the elite creators of Pop, R&B and Contemporary Jazz – she's a "go to" Professional Singer that you hire if you want to get it right the first time. After years of session and background work and a career that by any yardstick would be considered extraordinary, Lynne launched the imprint MidLife Records to release her own musical explorations. 2006 saw the highly regarded set Flow– and this summer came the release of Lady, a stellar collection of Contemporary Jazz interpretations of the Billie Holiday songbook.

Lady, co-produced with Andrew Ford, draws upon Lynne Fiddmont's extensive relationships in the music business. Having collaborated with a who's who of superstars including Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, and Barbra Streisand, she is joined on this project by the finest in Contemporary Jazz including multiple Grammy® Award nominees and winners George Duke, Billy Childs, Kirk Whalum, Gerald Albright, and Christian McBride who shares that Lynne is "Not just a fabulous vocalist, she's a complete and total musician." This, no doubt, reflecting her time spent at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Fiddmont became a fan of Holiday during her college days at Boston University and had the chance to explore her artistry while playing 'Lady Day" in a Los Angeles production of "Dark Legends in Blood." Fiddmont shares, "This CD is not an attempt to copy Billie Holiday. It is however an attempt to introduce a new day and bridge the gap between past and the future and usher Miss Billie Holiday into the 21st century." She adds, "Most singers have tried to imitate her, but few have even come close."

Lynne Fiddmont's Lady has been submitted for Grammy® consideration in a diverse number of categories reflecting the project's depth of Quality. With Fiddmont under consideration as Best New Artist, the album as Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album – Non Classical, and it's musicianship for Best Jazz Improvised Solo, and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals as well as the wild-card category Best Urban Alternative Performance – Perhaps this year at the Grammys® this lady will finally have her day!

Lady is available now at iTunes, Amazon.com, and CD Baby.

THOR Multi-Media Tour. Concert And Preview Of New THOR Film “Rock ‘N Roll Nightmare-Son Of Thor”. Dates In Canada, UK And More TBD, Plus New Release Of “Only The Strong” CD

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2010 -- The Thunder Chariot of legend is set to take to the stormy skies to bring THOR onto a world tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the triumphant "Only The Strong" album. The tour – which is being done in stages – continues through Fall, 2010 and coincides with the re-mastered re-release of this legendary album.

On this leg of the tour, the Thunder Chariot touches down in Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City, Canada. Then the mystical goats Tanngrisni and Tanngnost will also be transporting their mighty master in 2011 to the UK, Germany, USA, Sweden, Japan, and Brazil during the course of the tour.

There are special surprises in store for the upcoming Canadian dates, including a showing of the trailer of the exciting new movie: "Rock & Roll Nightmare – Son of THOR!" Directed by John Fasano, Screenplay by John Cody Fasano, Starring Jon Mikl Thor, Dan Roenuck, Leslie Easterbrook, and Mark McCaulay. You can check out the trailer here: http://vimeo.com/16062894

The UK appearances will also be very special indeed since it's also the first time THOR has appeared there in 25 years!!! The UK is a stronghold of THOR fans, where he was voted one of the Top Frontmen Ever by Classic Rock Magazine. The Bible of Metal – Kerrang Magazine – was one of the first to ever herald THOR's praises in the early days of his career.

As befitting a Thunder God, "Only The Strong" shot like lightning up the UK charts when it was originally released in 1985 on the strength of such anthems as the title track, "Thunder In The Tundra", "Let The Blood Run Red," still audience favorites to this very day! The original release was on vinyl, however, and ravenous fans have hungered for the album to be released in CD form. Not only have their prayers reached Asgard itself, they're treated to these favorite songs remastered with the strength and polish of a well-honed sword.

"We totally re-mastered and enhanced everything, remixed it," said Thor. " I give all the credit to Steve Price and his studio Stepco Sound in Boca Raton, Florida, for doing that. Steve really worked hard in the re-mastering."

According to THOR: "We'll probably do 'Only The Strong' in its entirety. But we will have a couple others, like "We Live To Rock" – everybody always wants to hear that one from "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare", which of course was recently voted The Greatest Rock & Roll Movie of All Time by Exclaim Magazine, which we're very proud of! That's over 'A Hard Day's Night' and all the biggest Rock movies of all time! Even 'Spinal Tap'! We were very proud to get that award! That song 'We Live To Rock' is from that movie, and everybody wants to hear it all the time. So we'll play that. Of course we'll play some of the favorites, but we're mainly concentrating on 'Only The Strong'."

Die-hard collectors, take note: there will be 3 versions unleashed of "Only The Strong" – the North American version (Vulcan Sky Records), the European version (Ektro Records), and an I-Tunes version. What's the difference between them?

"They sound exactly the same," Thor explains. "Just the cover is different. The I-Tunes one that is coming out, the cover is also different, and there will be a different bonus track. But the album is exactly the same. There are bonus tracks on there, like there's a live version from the Swedish Rock Festival of 'Warriors of the Universe!' We're really excited about that. It's got really good crowd response singing along with the song."

THOR has plenty of other irons in the fire now as well: a documentary on THOR's career has been in the works for awhile and is soon to be released; he's starring in a new movie, "Rock n Roll Nightmare-Son Of THOR", and has handed his Vancouver Millionaires sportswear line – which is doing extremely well – over to Canuck Sports & Entertainment.

Tour dates include:
Toronto - Oct. 28 Rue Morgue Presents THOR A NIGHT OF RAGNAROCK
Montreal - Oct 29 SPASM FILM FESTIVAL
Quebec City - Nov 13 IMPERIAL THEATRE

More Dates to be announced.
