Event Recap: Hennessy Presents ARTISTRY

EVENT RECAP - Hennessy Presents Artistry (The Art of Blending) - Canal Room, NYC - October 5, 2010

Hennessy Artistry presented a special night of MUSIC with the newest sensation to radio airwaves Miguel & Neo-Soul favorite Bilal, with special guests Donnis and Erin Christine. My FAB moment of the night was definitely Miguel singing his smash hit "All I Want Is You". I am literally obsessed with this song and was probably the loudest person cheering Miguel on, as I stood front and center watching him sing the ladies anthem. He even had a choreographed routine with the band, which was actually kinda sexy! This was my first time seeing Miguel perform, and I must admit, he did a great job! Kudos Miguel!

Erin Christine and Donnis were the special guests and opened up the evening. I was especially impressed with Erin Christine's voice and performance. She is dually talented - playing the keyboard and singing some gut-wrenching notes . . . the words were nice as well! I will have to youtube her. She's good!

Of course FAB has the juicy event pics for you! Take a look!
