The Road to Santiago- New CD Release

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700

For Immediate Release:

October 16, 2011

Songs For Charlie Music proudly announces the CD release of "The Road to Santiago".

Grammy nominated singer-songwriter and composer Celeste Friedman delivers an eclectic journey of originals in tribute to the countless pilgrims who have crossed the five-hundred mile trek to the Cathedral de Compostela. For over one thousand years, it has been believed to be the final resting place of the apostle Saint James.

The Road to Santiago de Compostela
A five-hundred mile trek across Spain over the Pyrenees Mountains and rugged terrain. The trail is fickle, from smooth sand or grass to rocks and ridges. Many believe it to be a spiritual transformation and powerful challenge of faith.

"Having not yet taken the journey myself", states Celeste, "I close my eyes and imagine. I can feel the angels all around me. The meseta beckons, as the mountains slowly rise behind. The endless vineyards along the way are an elixir for the soul. As I near my celestial destination, I descend through a forest in the snow. Peering through a veil of sweet persuasion, the moon lights my way, the way of Saint James."

Espiritu Santo mi guia . . . Celeste

The official release date is set for Celeste's birthday, October, 28, 2011 and will be available on CDBaby, iTunes and various digital music outlets. For more information, contact Celeste directly at: Celeste@songsforcharliemusic.com

From the Queen to Charlie Sheen

"Bad, Bad Boys Like You" by Celeste Friedman

A catchy tune poking fun at Charlie Sheen and his life as a self-proclaimed 'Adonis' with tiger blood, has just hit the airwaves on the east coast.

In an interview with John Holt, host of Networking Singles on WNRI in Rhode Island this week, Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Celeste Friedman said, "Sheen is giving America what they want and since the networks want ratings, let it all play out on television, including the good, the bad and the ugly".

Friedman, like most Americans, agree that you can't make this stuff up and the writers of Two and A Half Men were exposing as much of the real Charlie under the guidelines and standards of CBS. Now, Sheen can name his price and he's anybody's bad boy that America loves to hate.

Friedman's "Bad, Bad Boys Like You" is on YouTube:

London, England- Songs For Charlie Music is very proud and honored to announce that Grammy nominee and singer-songwriter Celeste Friedman has received special recognition from the Official Office of Queen Elizabeth of England for her song, “The Son of a Soldier”.

Friedman penned the ballad in tribute to Sjt. John McAlese, who was tragically killed while on duty in the Sanjin District of Afghanistan in 2009. After discovering a story in the London Daily Mail, Ms. Friedman recalls seeing a photo of the widow and their baby son. “I needed to write the song for all of the sons and daughters of our fallen heroes”, states Friedman.

Although Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth does not involve her position directly in matters of the British military, she was pleased to learn of an American songwriter who would take the time to honor a soldier from the British Battalion, The Rifles.

“The Son of A Soldier” can be purchased and downloaded online on CDBaby and iTunes.
