0:49 Hi, welcome to the Sound of Gold. Whether you're watching this live or just listening, Thank you for being here. I'm glad you are. I'm so excited to announce them. As of today, we are entering into season two of The Sound of Gold. If you know, you know, and if you're new, I don't know, if you know. My focus is on music, musicians, music venues, music teachers, music schools, and everything else attached to music, which is pretty much all around us all the time. I would like to focus today on not only a very talented music musician friend of mine, but I want to tap into for those of you that are wanting to get involved in the music arena, whether you're wanting to do musical theater, music on stage, or maybe venture and kind of see where what fits you best. There's so much to choose from, and I am so excited today to introduce my very good friend, Miss Avery.

2:01 Avery. Are you hanging out backstage? There? You are? Hi? Can you hear me? Okay? Stand by for some technical difficulties. I guess Avery, I know you're there. I don't know if you can hear me. So I have Miss Avery Summers on line today and on our show. Avery is not only a dear friend of mine, but I would have to admit and completely being transparent. I don't know anybody that's got as much soul as my sister friend, Miss Avery Summers. Avery, you just continue to amaze me, amaze your audiences, and you continue to show up in so many ways that you're just You're outstanding, and I'm so proud to have you on my show today. And I don't know again, I don't know if we're having technical difficulties because I don't know if she can tap in and hear.

2:59 Me, and Lisa, I don't hear you. Oh okay, all right, I don't okay, So maybe our engineers can work on that behind the scenes. And okay, maybe I don't know if there's a mute button, Is there a sound button. I don't know. So while we're working on that, I want to let you know that Avery has so much soul and she has so much to share with you today. Uh. And whether again, whether you're interested in performing on stage, whether you're interested in involved in musical theater. We have miss Avery back. Can you hear me better now?

3:45 I do? Yes, wonderful going as far as we can. Let's keep going, Avery, There's so I was saying. I don't know if you heard me, but you out of I know a lot of people, and out of all people I know, I don't know anyone who's got as much soul as you have. Oh all right, you you bring to the table everything you got plus everything you can bring, and you are such an inspiration and I admire you beyond the word. Please share with our audience a little bit about, uh, maybe your upbringing and what brought you into this world of where you are, because there's so much you do, so much. I don't even know where.

4:33 To begin, you know, honestly, I don't either. I really it's very well to because otherwise I don't know where to begin about what it is you want to know. So if you can think of something to ask me else to. Yeah, absolutely give us an give our audience because some of our audience are musicians or maybe they're looking to get into the music world or music theater. Please share with us what inspired you growing up to get to kind of motivate you to do what you're doing. Well, you know, I think there are things that are born in US and you and I have had use them for conversations for many years. But was born in US and I knew when I was five years old that I wanted to sing. I've always known that. And the background that I came from with parents right here in South Florida who both taught school, but they were always very encouraging me and my siblings. Had two older sisters and an older brother, and they always said, you can do whatever you want. It's not going to be easy.

5:40 It's work. So if you put the work into what you want to do, then you get the results. You have to be ready for what result you want, though. You can't just say of this is going to happen and let it fall out of the sky. If you want direction, go in that direction and be intentional in your direction. That's what I know absolutely. I was with some friends last night having dinner, and one of the conversations that came up is how do I get involved? And we spoke about stepping into the spotlight of whether you're being a volunteer, a student, gathering around like minded folks that are going to inspire you, and you kind of start there and grow with that.

6:29 You yourself not only are a singer, an actress, a director, you're a teacher as well. Yes, yes, And. I know the last time we spoke, you were sharing. You teach at the Maltz Theater. Yes, I do, I do. I'm on the board there also, so I'm on the board since twenty twenty one, and I last season I taught a class about seen study, but I called it scene study with a twist because my students wrote their own scenes. And at the end of the semester we put a show together. They call it sharing. We put a show together and we performed it for about fifty of our friends in the Island Theater at the Molds, and they've since gone on to do that show in other places. So I'm thrilled that they took it seriously and yet didn't take themselves too seriously and have performed it in their communities. And this year I'm teaching students about the art of cabaret because that's what I'm doing for many years now, and.

7:42 Tell us a little bit about cabaret. For those of us are that know the word, don't really know what it all entails. Well, there are many versions of what cabaret is, but I think in the American songbook genre, we put together a show usually of about seventy five minutes of songs that I always say that all of us in gabaret sing the same twenty five songs. It's just a matter of how it's arranged for you, your voice, your audience, how you want to present yourself. And then we sing those songs with what is known as quote unquote hatter and then talk about the song, what it means to you, how it fits in your life. And then usually that's with either a piano or piano, bass and drums, which is my preference, piano, bass and drums.

8:35 And give our audience an idea like just pick out of the hat, like one cabaret song that would bear reference. Well. I also reference the shows that I've done on Broadway, which was Ain't Miss Baban Chicago show both and those, so I choose songs from those shows like Ain't Miss Baban. I think many many people in your audience may know Ain't Miss Baban. No one the world with all by myself, no one to talk with. But I'm happy on the shows at Misbehaven save in my Love for You. But that's one of the songs that I do all of the time, because ask for it all the time.

9:17 Now, I know you're teaching out the mosque. If students are students or want to be students, want to connect and maybe take a class, how would they reach you? What would be the best way? The best way is to go to the website for the Most Stupid Theater and there is a list, an infinite list of possibilities sort of classes across the board of singing and dancing and piano and voice and my class and acting classes. It's just it's amazing what's presented there at now the Goldener Institute. It's the conservatory for all things theater at the Malls. Oh, I love it.

10:03 I love it now. I was thinking about it, you and I and we've talked about this before. You and I have known each other almost twenty years now, is that crazy? Crazy? Yes, that's crazy yea. And not only are you a dear friend of mine, but I had also taken lessons from you and singing at Bob Carter's Actors rap. Yes, now is are you so affiliated with them? Is that someone? We could also offer students or listeners to check out. The Bob's Theater closed last year. Oh I did not know that. Yes, it closed last year. There were a lot of things I asked recently someone and there were several things that had to happen for the theater to remain in operation that just not happening. I don't know the details, but unfortunately it went under last year.

10:57 Okay, all right, I did not know that. I still took a singing lessons with you and singing class with you, and you mentioned just previously in the classes you're teaching at the malls. What I loved about taking the class from you. And this is for our listeners too. If you know you're interested, you know, you not only say hey, you know, come and learn how to sing the song like you really tap into like hey, you're picking you're picking a song? Where where does the song come from? Who wrote it? Why was it written? And how can you relate to it, and I mean that's I love that. I even take that with me when I work with my students when I'm teaching them piano. Oh good, yeah, because because it's about connecting. It's not just on the surface.

11:46 As a musician, as an artist, as an actress, we know it's got to come from inside. It's not just surface. That's correct. And you know something else that I teach my students in this particular class. I don't want to to get into the habit of using cell phones and iPads and things to look to please go sheat music, physical music that you in your hand. I'm very tactical, so I like to feel things and understand, look at them and not sing the way someone else, if it's Adele or if it's whomever it is me, who you are in your music and your choices of what you what you sing. So that's what this particular class is about this time.

12:35 I love that. I love that. And how big of a class is it? And what ages do you start with or what's the youngest age. The youngest age is twenty two. I only have five students. I capped it at five because I like to give personal attention and I'm sure you understand that personal attention, and if it gets to be too big, then I lose sight of what I want my student institute, and I think they probably lose sight of what they want to accomplish. So right now we're in the process of choosing possibly three songs to make a five to ten minute set of those five students, and at the end of the session, which will be in December, we're going to do another share, so it may be an hour show and I will sing. They all will have an opportunity to sing. So they're learning which songs to choose for their show. I don't choose that music. They do how they introduce, what song flows from what to what, how they will end it, and how I will introduce them.

13:41 I want them to write me their introduction of their show. Oh I love it. I love it. Very interactive and it's just a great way to grow together and to bounce off of moving forward. Yes, absolutely, we did that with the scene study with a cliff and I eventually wound up with three students out of six, and they absolutely loved the process. And usually, as you also know, when. You teach, you learn, Yes, yeah, we learned from each other. Yes, absolutely. Now, gosh, you're so talented. I'm like, in my head, I'm like, where do I go now? You perform, you have your own band, you have shows coming up you before we get to I want to go into the Sunset Lounge. I want to. I want to share so much with our audience before we get there. Could you share some secrets about how you've gotten to where you are? Like, how do you how do you get in touch with like Sunset LOUNGEO? Is it the people you know? Is it?

14:47 Is it a phone call? Is it work? Is it what makes it? It's a great combination of all of that, And so I know there are unfortunately I think for us who have been in business along, can we make connection? And someone will say, what are you doing now? Well, of course it's always the next best thing, is the thing that you just did or the one that's coming up. And the Sunset Lounge is part of my growing up years. I had two older sisters, as I may have told you, and they went to the Sunset when they were teenagers. And yes, right here in westbom Beaches is where I grew up. And my mother would say to them, yes, you may go to the Sunset if you take her, And that was me. So I went to the Sunset when I was a young girl, and I saw all of the acts that would come through whomever was there, and my sisters wanted to go. I saw them. James Brown was one of my all time favorites and I saw him many times at the Sunset. But you know, the Sunset closed in Remember when the Beatles first came in the Sunset Don't Choose? Well, that was place where only African Americans could go in the front door. It was called the Chitlin Circuit Wow, and that meant that African American performers could go in the front door, perform

16:18 and get paid. And it was a circuit from Miami to New York. Normal African American performers had to go in the rear door through the kitchen and perform and leave the same way. There was no hanging out. Well, these places were creating African Americans or performers. And so this was a venue that touched my heart, the Sunset, because when I was a child, I would say this is where I want to be when I grow up, and to go back there and to perform there all these years later is a dream come true, and you have. For our listeners or even our viewers. You're you can find Avery's page at Avery Summers on Facebook. And I know I've seen you have some clips of your band playing yes at the Sunset Lounge and you do you have a five piece band or is it or is it just your.

17:19 Uh bass band is piano basing drums, but we always augmented with with horns if we meet, you know, or guitar or or whatever. But and for the Sun's Center, the seven of us, you know, and basic drums and me and uh and so. But this is coming up now, Lisa, I must say that coming up, I'm going to be singing with the Young Singers of the Palm Beaches. Yes. Group that's been I think was created about five years ago by a conductor of Sean Berry, and I will be singing for Mother's Day this year made tenth at the Cravis. I'm really of that because I think there are at least three to four hundred voices now with the young So it's incredible.

18:13 And one of one of my piano students went often and he's one of the singers. I think he's I'm not sure if he's graduated high school now, and I'll make a mention. His name is Ozzie. I don't know any other Ozzie because I had a cat named Ozzie, and so it's actually a friend of mine's son, Ozzie, who was my student. And he's as a fabulous, fabulous voice, and I don't I don't know many others, but I'm so I'm so proud of you. You continue to outdo yourself and I admire that and such a You're such a great inspiration. I want to ask you for for our audience, going back to your band mm hmm, what was it or how how did you come across meeting with like did you set up auditions to have people audition for your band? Did you were you recommended these bandmates?

19:12 Or what can you share with us? All right? Well, with my pianists, and his name is Phil Hinton. Phil and I we figured that we've been working together now for about thirty years and it's a very interesting process. I heard him playing at the old Caldwell Theater in vocal ratone yes okay, Jill, and he was playing with his son, who was a teenager at the time, and I asked someone and I don't remember the person now who is the pianist? And how can I get in touch? So he said, well, hang around after the show and I'll introduce you. And talked for a while and I found out that he is from London and that he was just here he played with his son, and he said, give me a call when you've got music that you want to do. And I was getting ready to do a show at the Colony Hotel at the time, and this was in two thousand and nine, and I called him and we started working together and putting together just fifteen minutes at a time of shows of music that I thought I would like to do. He's an arranger, a writer and a conductor and with the BBC, and he has worked with many Manicbare artists here in South Florida and all over the country.

20:34 He travels wherever, and so over those years we started working together, but we've done big, big jobs where he had to where we would work with piano, bass, drums, guitar, horns, everything down to him brings me his his on a keyboard to very small shows. You know. It was yes, sold, and said are you available, and he would say, what's the job? All right, Yes, I'm available. It on his calendar. We get together at his house or wherever, and we'll go with the music. It depends on what the owner or the person wants to go fifteen minutes, half hour, an hour, ninety minutes, whatever, and then we choose the right music for the venue and whatever show they want we go from there. And that and Frank Derek, who's my drummer, we say that we've known each other since we were in kindergarten together, and that's just how long we've known each other. I know him from New York many many years ago. So I usually let Phil deal with bringing in whoever he wants on bass and the horns, because if he works well with him, then I'm going to be satisfied. You understand what I mean.

21:50 Yes, Yes, that's beautiful. Now. A lot of people out there that are looking to get into this world that we're in. I think a lot of them might have maybe a different perception of making it a full time income. And I know other shows I've had we talked about the inconsistency of it and where we don't as artists, we learn that it's not about we don't do it for the money. Do you have any comments on. That, Well, I think you hit the nail on the head. It's certainly not a lot of money involved in it unless you can consistently work still after sale as the still and be willing to do a lot of traveling.

22:35 In the years that I did Broadway and road shows as they are called, I did work very very consistently in shows in New York and on tour, but I chose to not do that after a while. I needed to be here with an aging parent and eventually with aging sisters and brothers who have all now moved on to a different way. But so I chose to come off of the road and stay here. And my work here is consistent because I choose to make it consistent. Meaning you have to dig what you want. You have to know what to go and what you want to do, and then make yourself available to do that. Not to get yourself into every situation. You must be careful about what you do and what you speak out into the universe, in my opinion, but if you make connections with people and you find out who they are and what they want and what they do, and if you put yourself out there with integrity, always with integrity. This the work will become consistent if that's what you want. I like working once or twice a month. I don't want to work every weekend. I love being home and doing nothing a lot, you know, So I work a couple of times a month. It works out well for me financially, and that's enough and h and so that's good. But

24:07 you know, it takes a while to get your footing in any business. Lia so you know that, yes, it takes a while, and it takes a consistency of it and working with the thought that it's not going to be for money for many years possibly you know, it's for the love of it. Do you love it enough? And you've heard that statement. If you do what you love, and you love what you do, you don't work a day in your life. It's true, and it's true. It's true, And I. Don't want to put words in your mouth and feel free to interrupt me. Being an artist, whether whatever genre not you, but our listeners are in being an artist and we are we are creating from a passion of whether it's God or whoever people believe in. It's just a gift we're given and it's not when you say work, you know, it's it's yeah, it's the time we put into it. It's how we grow and how we grow our talent. But it's not it's not like, Okay, I'm making a reference going to clean the cat litter. That's a little bit of a job. You know, I have cats, so I can say that, but it's not I mean, it's got to be done, so I do it. But working, you know, showing up and working a couple of times a month, like you said, like we give it all and again I feel like I'm talking for you. But it's a lot of energy and it's a lot of passion that we give, yes, and it's not that we're

25:41 we expect anything back. It's almost like a gift we get to share. Well, you know, I'm going to speak on that, and you're very right. The thing that I find probably the most difficult, I will say, is if I am in a situation where some says, oh, Avery, just get up and sing. I'm not real big on that. I don't want to take care to do that. My years and years of training taught me to be really ready to do just about anything, but it comes with rehearsing knowing what I'm doing, having a sense of what's under me that I'm going to be able to present and to get to a point where there is a level of consistency in what I do, so that when someone sees me or they may say, oh my gosh, you're really good.

26:35 Well that comes from a lot of work, not just popping up singing, you know, just anywhere and any time. I do love to sing, don't get me wrong, and I will, but now I do it with you know, with some weight behind me. Just get up and home a tune because that's not what you know. And if for our listeners, please please share with us again and how they could get in touch with you, if they want to hear your music more, if they want to book you or take classes. Well, the best way, honestly is Facebook. If you've got a Facebook account, then that's the best way. I do not have a website. I am at the malt Stubiter Theater and I am on the board and I'm going to be instructors there. So if you go and you want to find out about me or what I'm doing, go to the website for the most Jupiter Theater and.

27:32 I'm there wonderful, wonderful, and a couple more questions before we finish. You are so many times that we've spoken or I've called, We have like a couple sometimes we just have like a two minute conversation. And I remember so many times you say, I'm working on a show, you know, let's let's catch up, you know tomorrow or something. Or I'm practicing songs for our listeners out there that are getting into this. How do you keep it fresh? Do you still take lessons? Do you learn from We already said we learned from our students, but we ourselves as professionals, we need to keep it fresh. What's your secret to keeping to keeping your skills and talent fresh?

28:17 But you know, that's a very interesting question, good question too. For me. I sing every day, so that's that it's a muscle, as you know with anything else. So if you go to the gym, you work out or whatever, and your strengthen and stamina. So I sing every day. I may not sing out vocally every day, but I hum or. I sing every day. But I also love to go and see my friends perform. For me, it's a way of knowing what's happening in the community. It's the support of my friends, and it's also hearing what they're doing and how they may present one of those same twenty five songs, and I'm impressed with it. And I do a direct steal if I love it, or I'll do a version of something that somebody else is doing. But you'll always put your own heart and solely to what you do. So if you're singing blind Me to the Moon, it may have a different connotation for you than it does for me. See or do whatever it is from your heart and your perspective, and that'll keep it fresh. No, I want to.

29:23 Actually this is like a call up, but and not a left field and I will have to I will not have to, but I will get to connect with Rob. And I forgot the owner's name of Cafe Centry over in Lake Park. That and what if you're here in Florida, South Florida, check out Cafe Centry because I know the Susan Soldier do her open mics on. Sunday nights as far as I know, Yes, she does. And you frequently performed there as well. You have last year, I did, I did in twenty twenty three, I did, Yes, Yes, it was that long ago, and I will go occasionally on a Tuesday night when Rob has this open mic night, Okay, I go, you know, to support once again and to just see friends. We get together, may have dinner or you know someone and say, Okay, I'm gonna sing tonight, Ariel you singing tonight. Yes, I will sing tonight or whatever.

30:26 You know. So it's not all the time. I go maybe once or twice a month, and and just to be out and support and find out what's going on in the community. There are so many new people in town to say to. Lots of friends are here doing shows, you know at say Palm Beach Drama Works, and if they've got a night, well they'll come and sit in or do something. So it's it's really kind of fun to do that. Yes, it's just a wonderful place. The energy is so warm and welcoming there, and the talent is just above charts. It is it is, indeed, and Rob it's phenomenal. I mean, he has known how to put these kinds of things together for many, many years. And he is called mister Palm Beach for that very reason.

31:13 That's right, mister Beach. Now in closing, Avery is there anything else you'd like to share with our audience as far as inspiring listeners to get more involved, because I don't know. Maybe I would think you'd like to agree with me. Maybe, but there's nothing more greater or more beautiful than being able to express ourselves through our craft. Yes, absolutely, I totally agree with you. There is very little but I can add to that. Really, it's a passion and if it will not leave you alone, if it keeps digging at your heart, then that's something that you must address and find out where it lives in you and what you can do about it.

31:59 And from there it's really for me. As I say, I sing every day, I'm always dealing with music. I've got music everywhere. And if I had and I had a cat, if I had a cat, they were all over the music. And my cat used to love to sit right middle of my music all of the time so that I would not forget that it was available. One of my cats talking right now exactly. And so that's what I say. I say, think about what it is that you want to do on a daily basis, give it some time, give it some thought, put some of yourself into what you want to do, and trust me. If it keeps digging at your heart, deal with it.

32:41 Let it leave you where you want to go, because that's what it is. It's your call absolutely. And on that On that note, haha, I think the biggest limitation that we give ourselves, or that others might give themselves, is that they're afraid of rejection. And I can I'll speak for myself. It's you you find out. It's you're not rejected, You're accepted and welcomed and encouraged. Mm hmmmm hm. Oh. Yes. Over the years, all of us you know we're not right for everything, but you need to put yourself in a position to know where those things are. And if you're not out doing something or trying to find out where you are or what's going on, then you'll never know.

33:32 So don't be afraid to be you know, for someone to say, oh not this time, or oh you're not quite right for this, because you may be right for the next thing that that person may be thinking of. It may not be that particular thing that you think you want, but they will keep you in mind for something else. And that has happened for me many times. Yeah. The consistency of staying on the path, yes, and just grinning and bearing it as you're going, because I think that's the magic of life, Avery, is that every day is a new day, and you never know who's going to call, who's going to show up, what what paths are you going to cross, or what you might read, what you might learn. I mean, there's just I think the the younger I get wet. That excuse me as I trick on my on my words. I appreciate that magic in life is the unknown. Yes, say God, and people make plans and God laughs.

34:35 Right exactly exactly. So we can have ideas and goals, but be be liberally, be loose with being open to what shows up. Mm hmm. Absolutely. That have been many times when you know, I've gotten a call. Uh. As a matter of fact, I got a call about a month ago someone was looking for a jazz singer, and I don't consider myself a jazz singer at all, but I was recommended this particular thing because they were talking about jazz singers but also influencers in their community. And a friend of mine suggested me because she thought that I've you know, been an influence in my community, and would I be willing to be interviewed for a show that they're doing in the Fort Lauderdale area in March, and I said absolutely, I'd love to know more about it.

35:32 And as a result, they're going to do a program uh with me and two other ladies and are thinking about you know, just really no singing involved, but just background and where I grew up and as we're doing right now with your prim Yes. So I thought that was very very lovely and to be recommended, But that came out of, you know, someone else recommended me for something. You know, So these kinds of things happen all the time. Yes, And what is what would you say to our audience out there watching and listening? What is your genre of music? What is your favorite? Gosh, that's very difficult. Hey, I love singing everything really, you know. I grew up in a Baptist church and I and I and I have what I used to think of as a big black voice, a big gospel voice.

36:21 Uh. And I never used to acknowledge that because I wanted to sing what I thought was Broadway, which is different sound from the sound that I grew up with. But as I've become more young, I have embraced the voice that I have, and I love my voice and I love what I've written to each song that I do. So you know, if it's if it's gospel, then I've got that. If it's Broadway, I've done that. Thank God for that. Uh. If it's the American Songbooks, I bring my gospel sound to that. I bring every single thing that I know how to bring to what a song it is, it's going to have the tinges of Avery Summers in it. And that's what you can do best.

37:06 Yes, and not to get not to deter away. I love my radio station and I have a talk radio and my purpose is to I want you to shine. You have such talent. There's so much talent out there. I am that voice to help you get more light. And I'm saying that without taking away from K for HG. I know that, Okay, on Legacy Radio where they play music, we're not playing music in my show. I've heard your songs. I've heard you sing, and I mean that's that's huge. Avery, Well, thank you, thank you. You know Legends, I have known those people now for many many years. Dick Robinson, who is the owner of Legends Radio and just a very tears sweet man that I met through Jill and Rich Swites yes Or on the Morning Lounge with Legends Radio, and we've known each other many, many years. I met them in Home Beach and just became best friends because Rich is an amazing musician, absolutely amazing, and he cut all of the tunes on my CD. They were all done in their studio. Wow. So I'm grateful to them.

And in closing for today's show, I mentioned in the beginning of the show we are in season two of The Sound of Gold and so moving forward, I know many of you that have been following me for the past few years outside of the radio show, but now on the radio show, I planned a very special treat for you, and that is that in closing of our show, for the last few minutes, I am going to play for you and I'm so excited I have.

40:41 If you know what I play, or if you don't know what I play, I play original pieces. And what I do is I kind of feel the energy in the air or in the room. I'm home in my home studio now, but when I'm out at venues, depending on the energy in the room or the energy in the moments, I just kind of play that. And so sit back, relax. If you are driving, do not close your eyes, but if you are in a place where you can, just kind of it's the end of the day, it's Monday, it's the start of another busy week, or maybe not saying it's still Monday. So sit back and relax for a few minutes as they play.

42:45 Oh oh.

43:28 Oh, Thank you so much for tuning on today or tuning in today. It was such a treat to have miss Avery Summers on our show today.

And in addition to that, tune in next week to find out who my guests will be.
