Great Music - Cheyenne Jackson

OK, so Cheyenne Jackson doesn't have a CD of his own out, but he is gorgeous, talented, and very out, and that is enough for me. He is 6'3" and built, with striking good looks, a beautiful voice and he can act - what's not to love? I saw him in Damn Yankees last year at New York's City Center, and he was great. He played in a cast that included Sean Hayes and Jane Krakowski.

Jackson has also roller skated in Xanadu, starred in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Altar Boyz, and played openly gay hero Mark Bingham in Flight 93. This year, he has teamed up with Michael Feinstein in a nightclub act called The Power of Two and I would kill to see it. He has also appeared in Ugly Betty and will be in the premier episode of Glee in the fall.

The above clip was Cheyenne Jackson performing the song I've Got Your Number at Broadway Under the Stars in Bryant Park, June 14, 2005. The song is from the Neil Simon musical Little Me, with music and lyrics by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh.



The following is Cheyenne Jackson performing Surrender on January 7, 2008. The song was written by songwriter Scott Alan. This performance was at a CD Release Party for Scott Alan's Dreaming Wide Awake CD.

On a personal note, Cheyenne and his partner have been together for 10 years. To find out more about Cheyenne, visit his website here. He also has music available for purchase on iTunes.

New Music - Jake Walden

Jake Walden is an artist I discovered thru Tom Goss, first playing on the Rock The Folk Out tour, and then opening for Tom on tour and on the last show I attended in DC. Jake is very handsome, and quite intense while performing.



His CD is called Alive And Screaming. The song We Are, along with the video that follows, are the high points for me. If you like this video, order the CD. You won't be disappointed. You can find out more at Jake's MySpace site.

New Music - Ari Gold

OK, Ari Gold is an out musician, no matter what HBO wants to convince you to believe. In fact, he is one of the hottest musicians out there. The boy drips with sexiness and just makes me think dirty thoughts. I am telling you, drop dead gorgeous doesn't start to explain it for me. With that over with, Ari is also a talented singer and songwriter, with a couple of albums and hit singles to his credit. I've purchased his music, and listen to it without drooling over pictures, so he is doing something right.

His latest is a remake of the Human League song, Human. I've been wanting to do a full post about Ari - and I still will - but thought this was a great chance to drop a video on you and keep you wanting more. Oh, and did I mention that Ari is red-hot?

You can find out more about Ari Gold at his website, or his MySpace.
