 A Note from Robert Vest:                                                                                   

This fall has been quite busy! I've been teaching a full roster of students at AMDA, NY, writing, and performing!

Some highlights include: The Vest kids Summer visit to NYC!! Much love and thanks to David & Miss Julie!!! Then another visit of my son for his 16th birthday!!! I performed "Dressing Up Is Hard To Do" at the Abingdon Theatre's Sing Easy Cabaret in October! November brought "Star Wars In Concert" with Anthony Daniels. I was hired to be a part of the choir for this exciting multi-media event in the North East part of their tour! There's nothing like performing with 80 piece orchestra and crowds of 20,000! There's a buzz regarding the cast album of "It's The Talk Of The Town," which will be released in 2010. I'm really excited about my upcoming debut at Lincoln Center's Performing Art's Library's Holiday Songbook, where my song "Santa Goes Boating" will be performed by Jennifer Houston and Julie Bearden. Julie has just completed the 5 part SSATB arrangement of "Santa..." !!!
I've also been working with a wonderful acting coach, Regina O'Malley. She has brought out my best!
The new year brings many auditions for Theatre, TV,Film, the release of "It's The Talk Of The Town," My solo recording, and more opportunities for being with my 3 wonderful children!

I truly hope and pray for peace on earth and good will to all!

Blessings to you and yours!

Much Love,
Robert

     A Note from Robert Vest:                                                                                      

"We first performed this show on Jerry's 100th birthday at The Triad Theatre, NYC.  Dennis Livingston, Jerry's son was on hand.  It was a great event and now we're doing a recording and more performances on 42nd Street at the Laurie Beechman.
My mother, Joyce Vest, used to sing "Mairzy Doats" all the time when I was a kid.  So it's a thrill to be performing that song among so many classics from tv, film, and radio.
I'm enjoying singing "Blue and Sentimental" as a solo in the show as well as "Wake The Town and Tell the People."  The cast is a diverse group of wonderful singer/actors.
If you're in NYC in June, come and support this venture!

SANTA GOES BOATING, my global warming Christmas song  is being arranged for SATB and TTBB choirs as well as being recorded as a dance tune.  As soon as I get the final copy, it will be available for purchase through this website.
Thanks to all who encourage me!  I hope that my work brings joy and inspiration to you!


Live your dreams, today!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Robert
