Sofar Philly Presents Noni René

Sofar Philly presents Philly’s own, Noni René, for an Album Listening
Event on Saturday, November 28th from 1-3 p.m.

Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis. AfroPunk alum. Guitar in hand,
truth on her tongue. Fresh off her new project NEAUX — a journey of
self-definition, soft power, and cutting what no longer serves.

She doesn’t just sing. She reclaims the room.

This is future-soul, grunge-soul, Black femme rock & soul —
stripped down Sofar style. No band. No barrier. Just you and that voice.

Come early. Stay present. You’ll be talking about this one.

More details TBA.

John Riccuitti of Main Line TV converses with George Anastasia, author and former writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer, in an interview at Villa DiRoma in South Philly’s Italian Market.

Anastasia is widely considered to be an expert on the American Mafia. He was an organized crime investigative reporter who was once targeted for death by then-Philadelphia crime family boss John Stanfa.

He is the author of six books, and a novella and has contributed to two anthologies of Italian American writers.

George Anastasia will be available for questions and book signing.

George Martorano, the subject of the FirstGlance Film Festival award-winning documentary, “Life Without Parole: The Story of George Martorano,” who is mentioned in the Anastasia interview, will also be attending to answer questions about growing up “with” the mob, his undeserved and over served 32 years in prison, and his #1 marijuana brand the “grow father.”

The Anastasia interview was directed by award-winning filmmaker Jill Fechie.

“Life Without Parole: The Story of George Martorano,” also directed by Frechie, and produced by Ricciutti, is available to stream on multiple platforms.

Vinyl Revival Movie Night at Jamey’s House of Music

Jamey Reilly of Jamey’s House of Music and Andrea DiFabio of Vinyl Revival have teamed up to present Movie Night!

Join us at Jamey’s on Thursday, January 29, for a screening of “Once in a Hundred Years: The Life & Legacy of Marian Anderson.”

Marian Anderson, whose contralto singing voice of great range dazzled international audiences, was a gifted African American woman who had to surmount innumerable, unwarranted obstacles before eventually achieving her dream.

“ONCE IN A HUNDRED YEARS” refers to the quote of the great conductor Arturo Toscanini who once told Marian Anderson: “A voice like yours is heard once in a hundred years.”

Marian Anderson’s story continues to inspire people from very different backgrounds and her achievements in overcoming bigotry have secured her a place as a true pioneer internationally and in her home town of Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love.

The filmmaker walks the streets where she lived; talks to the people who knew her, knew her family, and someone she babysat; see where she was educated and went to church; and marvel at how she was able to transcend humble beginnings to sing for tens of thousands of people, and for Presidents and queens on the world’s stages.

Director: Bill Nicoletti
Writer: Nat Gutwirth

The film won an Emmy for Outstanding Documentary and screened at 7 Film Festivals.

Bill Nicoletti  Producer I Director

Emmy Outstanding Documentary 2022 Mid Atlantic Region
