Joey Figgiani used to play at the Psychic Cafe in the Village. The Psychic is no more but Joey's music lives on. It was a joy to watch him perform because he was genuinely enjoying his musical expression. Since those not so long ago days, Figgiani went to Music City, a.k.a. Nashville, TN to record what he does best. Go here to find out more about him. What follows is just a glimpse:

"The songs on Joey Figgiani's new album The Place Between Moving And Standing Still are like a collection of thumbnail sketches that will resonate with anyone brave enough to have taken this journey.

The album showcases an eclectic musical style, ranging from Pop Rock to Alternative, Americana to Delta Blues, showing Figgiani as a true artist who cannot be categorized by typical standards. Each song takes the listener to life’s most basic experiences, and reveals a meaning that grows more profound with each listen. The collection is sometimes smooth, often gritty, but always sincere. Any listener can identify with one, if not all, of the perspective from which Figgiani pens his songs.

For his previous album, Under the Memphis Sun, Joey joined forces with Elvis Presley's original band mates, DJ Fontana and The Jordanaires and recorded half the album in the legendary Sun Studio, Memphis. The Place between Moving and Standing Still, relies less on "star power" and more on the impact of profound lyrics and a musical pallet of richness, texture and color."
