New York Notes: D’Antony D's “Shine A Light” Highly Recommended by Peachy Deegan and Whom You Know

Why does Whom You Know have 300 posts on fashion and 600 posts on beauty but not even 30 on music? It is because there are lots of beautiful clothes and beauty products in Manhattan worth knowing about, but very few good musicians. If someone hurts our ears, certainly we will not waste your time. You need to know about D'Antony D.

Peachy Deegan love love loves The Cray and Dempsey Experience. So, she thinks D'Antony D. is fabulous too! It is like saying you love the Police so you think Sting is fabulous. D'Antony D. is a singer and songwriter from Dublin, Ireland living in NY for almost ten years and he sings original songs of great passion and truth. A select set of covers from the past 50 years that mean something to him he performs quite well, and we wish he and The Cray and Dempsey experience were at Thady Cons so they could do the Alice song for Peachy. If you have not heard the Alice song you have not lived. The Cray and Dempsey experience used to say to Peachy that she was like Charlotte from Sex and the City...

Currently, D'Antony D is recording his new EP called "Famous In Walmart " with Joe Johnson (who has worked with Joan Jett, Wilson Pickett and The Trans Siberian Orchestra) with some of Manhattan's top session musicians and soundtrack composers, which is due for release on itunes before the end of the year.

D' Antony also plays a residency in Cold Spring, Whistling Willies on Tuesdays and can be seen participating in the open mic there on Wednesdays.

D' Antony Says "The plan for me is just to keep moving forward, I was banging my head against a wall in Ireland as far a making success, so I came to this amazing country that I adore and love. I was meant for this country, I am not only accepted but loved for my art and passion and self belief, what more could an artist want aside from a hit song???"

D’ Antony makes a full time living playing with his band The Cray And Dempsey Experience in the Tri-State area for the past 9 years. Before that he released an Album and toured the USA with his band Hedgeschool from 95 till he left the band in 98 to pursue a solo recording career. He has sung with Joe Elliot from Def Leppard, Members of Thin Lizzy and The Van Morrison Band and Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band.

Joe Elliot called D’ Antonys Voice ”A Million Dollar Voice” with over four octaves and a deep emotional well, he is often compared to Rod Stewart and Otis Redding, its no wonder Joe Elliot said this.

The Song “Shine A Light” is the lead off song from “Famous In Walmart” and is available on itunes and other digital download websites, and Whom You Know highly recommends it.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
