<p><strong><u><b> </b></u></strong></p>
<p>September 30, 2024 – <strong><em><b><i>The Session Man: Nicky Hopkins</i></b></em></strong>, a documentary film that tells the story of the prolific virtuoso session pianist Nicky Hopkins, will be released in North America November 5<sup>th</sup> on TVOD/PPV on Amazon Prime, additional major platforms and will also be available on DVD in late 2024. For viewing information, please visit <a href="http://www.thesessionmanfilm.com"><u>www.thesessionmanfilm.com</u></a>. Featuring commentary from <strong><b>Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Peter Frampton, Pete Townshend </b></strong>and more, <strong><em><b><i>The Session Man</i></b></em></strong><strong><b> </b></strong>explores the legendary 30-year career of Nicky Hopkins and his contributions to over 250 albums, including <strong><b>John Lennon’s </b></strong><strong><em><b><i>Imagine, </i></b></em></strong><strong><b>The Who’s </b></strong><strong><em><b><i>My Generation, </i></b></em></strong>and countless iconic songs like <strong><b>“You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker</b></strong>, <strong><b>“Sympathy For The Devil” by The Rolling Stones</b></strong> and <strong><b>“Revolution” by The Beatles</b></strong>. Directed by Mike Treen, <em><i>THE SESSION MAN </i></em>has been shown at festivals in a number of countries, winning awards in London, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Los Angeles and Paris. It is scheduled to be screened in The New Zealand Indie Film Festival and The Albuquerque Film Festival at the end of September.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nicky Hopkins was a dear friend and iconic piano player. No one had his wonderful touch, feel and choice of notes. I was lucky to have him play on my <em><i>Somethin’s Happening</i></em> record. I miss him and listen to him often. He taught me plenty.&#8221; – <strong><b>Peter Frampton</b></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><b>“THE SESSION MAN</b></strong> film is not a Hollywood biopic, rather a homage to a virtuoso and prolific session pianist. There is a sad irony in that Nicky Hopkins was unknown to the greater public but amongst his peers, he was treated as Rock Royalty. The sheer volume of albums and singles that he contributed on and the testimonials from the star-studded list of interviewees in the film allows me the right to say that Nicky’s story deserves to reach a wide audience worldwide. As Bob Lefsetz succinctly put it, <em><i>‘The Session Man” is a link in your education. It fills holes in your mental history of rock and roll. Which revolutionized society, impacted an entire generation, music was the coolest medium, it drove the culture and Nicky was there, not on the periphery, but audible on some of your favorite records.</i></em><strong><em><b><i>’” – </i></b></em></strong><strong><b>Director Mike Treen </b></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Classically trained at The Royal Academy of Music, London, Nicky Hopkins could play Rock and Roll piano like nobody else. His legendary piano riffs and dazzling musical motifs helped ordinary tracks become iconic. With a career spanning 30 years until his tragic early death at age 50, he played with some of the greatest bands and artists in the world including <strong><b>The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Steve Miller Band, Joe Cocker, Jerry Garcia, Art Garfunkel</b></strong> and many others.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By the late 1960’s, Nicky was one of the busiest and most successful session players in London. He then joined the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, which took him to America. He settled in Mill Valley enjoying the free-wheeling San Francisco ‘Bay Area Bands’ and playing at Woodstock with Jefferson Airplane. The 1970’s were his most successful period, commuting across The Atlantic to play with The Stones, John Lennon, and on countless sessions in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Living with Crohn’s disease since his teens, his ability to tour was limited, although he would manage tours with The Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker and Art Garfunkel. But it was in the recording studio where he became a legend amongst his peers. As Keith Richards recounts, “We were coming up with songs that [were]absolutely beyond Stu’s- let alone capabilities-his dreams! He didn’t want to know! So, I think that Stu called and said, ‘The only guy that can handle this is Nicky Hopkins.’” Nicky ended up playing on a total of 14 Stones albums.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nicky’s story is told in the film by Albert Lee, Antonia Cipollina, Arthur Rochester, Benmont Tench, Bill Wyman, Billy Nicholls, Bro Paul Brown, Chris Kimsey, Chris Welch, Chuck Leavell, Dave Davies, Glyn Johns, Graham Parker, Gray Levett, Greg Phillinganes, Harry Shearer, Helen O’Hara, Jack Casady, Jim Keltner, Joe Tansin, John Goddard, Jorma Kaukonen, Julian Dawson (Nicky’s biographer – author of <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Piano-Nicky-Hopkins-Extraordinary-Greatest/dp/0984436227"><em><u><i>And on Piano… Nicky Hopkins</i></u></em></a>), Keith Richards, Merrell Fankhauser, Mick Jagger, Mike Hurst, Mike McCartney, Moira Hopkins (Nicky’s widow), Morgan Fisher, Nils Lofgren, Paddy Milner, Pete Edmonds, Pete Sears, Pete Townshend, Peter Frampton, PP Arnold, Rory Kaplan, Sarah Sleet (CEO of Crohn’s &amp; Colitis UK), Shel Talmy, Slim Jim Phantom, Terry Reid and Tom Speight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Session Man’s narrator, Bob Harris, former presenter of the BBC’s The Old Grey Whistle Test, had no hesitation in confirming that, “His contributions on their records made him Rock and Roll’s greatest Session Man.”</p>

<p><a href="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/porter_bibb_1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-86414 size-large" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/porter_bibb_1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/porter_bibb_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/porter_bibb_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/porter_bibb_1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Porter Bibb is a man who lived many lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">He was a journalist, an investment banker, the first publisher of Rolling Stone magazine and an executive producer for the Maysles Brothers. He wrote books, covered the White House for Newsweek and studied economics. He was a trend predictor, a raconteur and a creative visionary, while also a gentleman, humble and kind.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And he deeply cared for Southampton.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“I just see Porter as this Renaissance man, because he really did a lot of different things — and I think he was interested in everything,” his wife, Sandra Bibb, said last week. “He was interested in the world around him.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">On January 4, Porter Bibb died from complications of fourth-stage prostate cancer while surrounded by his immediate family at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. He was 87.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“He was very unusual and I’m very lucky to have had him for a big brother,” his sister, Elizabeth Bibb Yamashita, said. “We’re going to miss him, but he had a great life, so that’s some consolation. His three beautiful daughters, they really are terrific. So that’s his real legacy.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">David Porter Bibb III was born on April 2, 1937, into a quintessential Kentucky family in Louisville — where its members included the first and second governors of Alabama, according to his sister. He was the eldest of six, she said, and often took on a father-like role with his younger siblings, who all looked up to him.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“He was always the big brother who was off to college and being very cool,” she said, “and he would come swooping in with all sorts of very sophisticated things going on.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Bibb was attracted to characters, Yamashita said, which began at Louisville Male High School, where he was a member of the Athenaeum Literary Association. It was essentially a fraternity, she recalled with a laugh — and there, he became good friends with Hunter S. Thompson.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“I can remember Hunter sitting at our kitchen table, yacking with my mother. My mother actually loved him,” Yamashita said of the boy, who would go on to become a renowned author and journalist. “Porter was always drawn to interesting people and very much had a kind of a global perspective very young.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Bibb went on to study history at Yale University, earned graduate degrees from Harvard Business School and London School of Economics, and even enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, his sister said.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">He was athletic, excelled at skiing and tennis, and loved the ocean. He ran five New York City Marathons, his wife said, and religiously participated in Southampton’s Polar Bear Plunge.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“We used to always tease him about being Dorian Gray, because he never looked his age,” Yamashita said. “We always said, ‘Oh, there’s a picture up in the attic somewhere that’s getting very old,’ because he just, literally, until 87, he looked 20 years, 30 years younger. He was just very, very dashing.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sandra Bibb first crossed paths with her future husband more than three decades ago, when they both worked in investment banking. He had awkwardly announced that he had four girlfriends — and she made it clear that she wasn’t interested.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But one Christmas Eve, that changed for her. She had invited him to a party at her home and, after everyone left, he took her out to dinner around the corner and came back to her apartment to help her tidy up.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“I was like, who does that?” she said. “Nobody does that unless you’re really good friends. It just changed the dynamic.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">They wed on June 8, 1997 — his third marriage — and became a blended family, she said. He is survived by his three daughters — Hilary Porado, Addison Porter Walker and Zoe Bright — three grandchildren, and all five of his siblings — Richard, Susannah, Walter, Robert and Elizabeth.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“He’d always write me notes, and he was always thoughtful and generous and sweet and kind and lovely,” his wife said. “He was a very, very sweet, romantic guy. I’m going to miss everything about him.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A summer resident of Amagansett for most of his childhood, Bibb devoted his free time to his community in Southampton, where he lived for nearly 40 years. Leveraging his media, entertainment and technology experience, he was instrumental in keeping the National Public Radio affiliate, WLIU-FM, afloat after it parted ways with Stony Brook Southampton.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And toward the end of his life, he poured his energy into saving the windmill on the campus — pushing for its move to the heart of Southampton Village where it once stood, according to his colleague in the endeavor, architect Siamak Samii.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“His kindness is something that I think we can all take a lesson from because you can never go wrong with that,” he said. “Life is not easy, and there’s a lot of ups and downs, and it’s these kinds of kindnesses that makes it more bearable and somehow sweet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“It’s like the hello that you say on the sidewalk to somebody passing by and make their day,” he said. “That’s the kind of person Porter was.”</p>

<p>Newly evolved music company aligns production, marketing, promotion, publicity, social media, publishing, web design, merchandising and more under one umbrella<br />
<a href="http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/airgo.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/airgo-1024x576.jpg" alt="airgo" width="600" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-45506" srcset="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/airgo-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/airgo-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; <strong>Airgo Entertainment</strong>, the multi-service music company launched by proven music industry professionals, is uniquely positioned to provide customized services for today&#8217;s independent and established recording artists. The newly developed Airgo Entertainment is an expansion of the highly successful Airgo Music, in existence since 2008, which has mounted numerous successful artist campaigns and productions.</p>
<p>With the newly expanded Airgo Entertainment, artists can now remain in control of their content while availing themselves of all of the services once offered only by the major record labels. The multi-faceted Airgo Entertainment, drawing upon its executives&#8217; extensive knowledge and insight into the music industry, has formed strategic alliances to partner with artists at all levels seeking to develop and grow their presence within today&#8217;s D.I.Y. music-business climate.</p>
<p>Airgo Entertainment&#8217;s new team brings a forward-thinking, innovative solution from the upper echelon of music-business insiders, headed by Jimmy Greco (CEO), Bill Porricelli (Executive VP and General Manager), Russ DeSalvo (Director of Production and A&#038;R) and Doreen D&#8217;Agostino (VP of Publicity). Among the company&#8217;s recent alliances is <strong>Phil Quartararo</strong>, who will serve on Airgo Entertainment&#8217;s Advisory Board of Directors.</p>
<p>Directing Airgo Entertainment are five skilled industry professionals whose outstanding credentials distinctly qualify them to succeed in bringing together multiple services under one umbrella.</p>
<p><strong>Jimmy Greco</strong> (CEO)—Grammy-nominated producer and hit songwriter. Mr. Greco founded Airgo Music and Airgo Entertainment. He will oversee all aspects of the company, including production, artist development and strategic company growth. His credits include Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Carlos Santana and Miley Cyrus, among others.</p>
<p><strong>Bill Porricelli</strong> (Executive Vice President and General Manager)—Paul McCartney&#8217;s longtime senior executive for MPL Communications Inc. He served as Senior Vice President of Licensing, Promotion &#038; New Product Development. He also supplied music for dozens of major films, television shows, live stage productions and commercials.</p>
<p><strong>Phil Quartararo</strong> (Advisory Board of Directors)—Mr. Quartararo&#8217;s years as CEO of Virgin Records and Warner Bros. Records and as President of EMI Music Marketing make him a most valuable asset as Airgo Entertainment launches its services. Mr. Quartararo has worked with legendary artists such as the Rolling Stones, Madonna and Coldplay, as well as marketing the estate catalogs of Frank Sinatra, and the Beatles. He is eager to bring his capabilities and vision to this exciting and evolving endeavor.</p>
<p><strong>Russ DeSalvo</strong> (Director of Production and A&#038;R)—Hit songwriter, accomplished producer, arranger and professional musician. His credits include Celine Dion, Marc Anthony, Elton John, Carlos Santana, Disney, Mattel and Universal Animations.</p>

She served as Sr. Director of Publicity at Sony Masterworks, Sony Classical and BMG Classics and Director of Publicity at EMI Classics &#038; Jazz.</p>
<p>Airgo Entertainment&#8217;s network of industry executives and aligned partners possesses all of the skills and tools necessary for today&#8217;s emerging and established artists under one umbrella. Airgo Entertainment&#8217;s business model fills a huge void and points the way toward the future of the music industry itself.        </p>

<p><b>Bio</b></p>
<p>Fawn&#8217;s musical endeavors began at the age of 6 with classical piano lessons, continuing on throughout her adolescents.  At 19, Fawn attended the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA where she received a merit scholarship for excellence in music, graduating with honors earning two degrees &#8211; a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting.  Continually playing at local coffee houses, parties, and pubs, Fawn discovered her true calling in life.</p>
<p>After college, her spare time was spent writing, while she worked for 2 years at PriceWaterhouse Coopers in New York City.  But an artist at heart, she resigned from the corporate life and set out in pursuit of her dream&#8230;&#8221;Scrambled Reflections&#8221; was released on October 31, 2007 while Fawn was still at PwC.  Her second album, &#8220;Take Two&#8221;, was released in 2009 with songs like “Calling” and “Seamless” garnering her the most attention and &#8220;Santa&#8217;s a Dick”, released in 2011, the most laughs.</p>
<p>Currently, Fawn plays weekly at the New York City&#8217;s iconic music club, The Bitter End, the city&#8217;s oldest rock club, essential for launching the careers of many legends including Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Carol King and most recently Lady Gaga &#8211; not a bad place for a budding singer-songwriter to hang their hat.  Fawn has appeared multiple times on the country wide talk show, <i>The Vinny Vella Show</i>, and has been the featured artist in magazine&#8217;s such as <i>Dejonde Magazine&#8217;s</i> Valentines edition and <i>PopimpressiveKA</i>. Fawn has performed live on radio shows such as The Debra Manso Show.</p>
<p>Fawn&#8217;s modeling career has skyrocketed in the past year.  She is a well known Marilyn Monroe model in New York City and parts of France.  Recently, Fawn is in the works of landing a modeling campaign for Daniel&#8217;s Jewelers, a high end Jewelery store located in the heart of Manhattan&#8217;s Diamond District.</p>
<p>Currently working on her 3rd LP, with award winning producers, such as Rob Fraboni (Producer of the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese&#8217;s film &#8220;The Last Waltz&#8221; and Producer for the timeless band, The Rolling Stones) and Richie Corsello (Producer for Sonny Rolands).  Fawn is also writing musical scores for TV and Film with the well known songwriter, Askold Buk.  Additionally, Fawn continues to put out singles with Karen Thornton, The Mtp Music Group and Stefan Moessle, Secret Sounds Inc.  Fawn was also a front runner for the famous food chain&#8217;s, Bareburger&#8217;s, jingle search.  Fawn is excited to put her new material to work.</p>
