NEW ALBUM FINALLY ON ITS WAY, "FAME ALL STARS" AND HOLIDAY LESSON PACKAGES
Nov 9, 2008

After a relatively quiet few months...sooooo much stuff going on... 

First up, the new album is FINALLY on its way...this project is REALLY happening! All the tracks are recorded and mixed and ready to download if you're a member of the EPC! Log in to access them; or to become a member visit the Five-and-Dime page). For everyone else, photos by Ron Davis have been shot and Darci is currently in the cover design stage with graphic artist Candice Colbert (whose credits include design for the Ratatouille and Wall*E video games, among many others). Tentative digital release is projected for December 1st and a CD street date will follow in early 2009. Everyone can stream a few of the new songs on the Little Ditties page right now.

Second, Darci is also competing in the "Fame At Fuel All Stars Edition" at Club Fuel in Studio City every Friday night between now and December 12th (unless eliminated; dark on Thanksgiving weekend). Darci is the very first winner of "Fame At Fuel" where she walked away from the grand finale last August with a $1000 cash prize thanks to the votes of her local fans and friends. Since then she has served subsequent seasons of Fame as the contest's head judge and consultant. Now, nine more seasons and winners later, Club Fuel has invited the previous top three performers from every season to compete for the ultimate grand prize of $1200 and bragging rights as Fame's Best of the Best. If Darci beats out the other nine competitiors, she will be able to complete her new album ONCE AND FOR ALL...but she can only do it with your votes! So, come on down to Club Fuel each Friday night to support Darci and help her take the win. She will be taking the opportunity to premiere songs from the new album as well, so you don't want to miss it! Read the following for info on how to get discount cover charge and drink coupons.

Last week Darci and Levi Kreis performed at a wonderful church in Hollywood called Hope Lutheran; they both sang some solo songs and then closed the morning with their duet of "It Is Well With My Soul" (which you can find on Levi's latest CD, The Gospel According to Levi).

"I Should Go" to be released on Columbia Records' new GLBT label, Music With a Twist!
Apr 15, 2007
Finally! Darci's first song cut on a major label will be released over the next few weeks!

Columbia Records (a division of Sony/BMG) will be releasing "I Should Go", written by Darci and Levi Kreis and recorded by Levi, on Revolutions, a compilation album featuring ten "out" artists that are being considered for signing on their new gay-artist-friendly label, Music With A Twist. This compilation is the result of an extensive search for new GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) talent who exhibit the greatest cross-over potential.

"I Should Go" has already enjoyed a great deal of success as an independent release. Originally included on Levi Kreis' critically acclaimed CD One of the Ones, it has received generous mainstream radio play nationwide, was featured on Days Of Our Lives, was an Honor Award recipient in the 2006 Great American Song Contest, placed as a top twenty pop ballad finalist in the 2005 Unisong International Songwriting Contest, and Levi performed it live at the piano on the nationally televised talk show Soap Talk (hosted by Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway). Even after all that, it appears "I Should Go" still has yet to reach its greatest heights of success!

Here are the official release dates for Revolutions:

April 24th - digital download release available exclusively on Rhapsody
May 8th - digital download release on all other digital distributors
May 15th - physical CD drops (three days after Darci's birthday!)

Visit Music With A Twist on MySpace to let them know how much you love "I Should Go" and to check out the other nine artists on the compilation!
They did it again!
