Recording "On Vinyl"

In case you’ve missed my relentless social media posts, I am currently raising money to record an album!

On Vinyl will be a recorded studio album based off the sold out solo shows "On Vinyl" and "B-side", featuring our favorite 70's songs with Michael Holland's incredible arrangements of songs including: At Seventeen, Easy, Don't Cry Out Loud, As, Poetry Man, Dream On, Life On Mars and more! We are seeking your help in reaching our funding goal. Every little bit helps!

We set a very modest goal of $12,000. But if we can exceed this initial goal. we can make a more interesting (read:better) album: More instruments, more vocals, more 70’s style studio tricks and possibly even more songs. It’s also our hope to do a limited edition vinyl print of the record which would be super cool. But we can only do that if we surpass our goal.

To donate, visit: www.igg.me/at/OnVinyl

While any size donation helps, donations starting at $25 come with perks! There are opportunities for social media shoutouts, signed CD’s, and exclusive content at different levels to say thank you for your support and contribution.

If you have friends, family, or colleagues who think of themselves as Farah Alvin fans, share this campaign!

Thank you so much for your support, both in contributions and in getting the word out.

I can’t wait to make this album with you!

I am proud to present my follow up to my hit show On Vinyl, bringing new life to your favorite music of the 70's. From Elton John to Karen Carpenter to Dolly Parton to Carly Simon, in song and storytelling, be transported to the nostalgic time when we spun a record and lived another life through incredible songwriting. Those who remember the 70’s and those experiencing these classics for the first time will not want to miss Farah Alvin B-SIDE.

Pop Shop Class at Singnasium

Tuesdays at 6 PM, beginning May 11

This year, I began teaching for all levels with Singnasium. My next class begins May 11th. This class is called Pop Shop and you’ll get all my expertise on how to perform a pop or rock song and make it your own. I will teach you how to select pop and rock material that translates well to a musical theater or cabaret setting, how to build an arc into a pop song and how to play to your strengths in this genre, even if you’re not a natural pop singer. Our last session was so much fun and so enriching for me and my students. This class is totally virtual! So wherever you are, you can join in! Visit Singnasium for details and to sign up.

Farah Alvin on Vinyl

Farah Alvin on Vinyl returned to Greenroom 42 for another sold out show on March 1 2020. Little did we know at that time that the world as we know it was changing forever. And quickly. After this dormant time, I still plan to begin our previously announced crowd funding campaign to record Farah Alvin on Vinyl and preserve it for all time, just like your favorite 70s memories. I miss performing for a live audience but we will be back. Watch this space! And make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter so you can be updated as soon as I am onstage again.
