Saddleback College radio station KSBR 88.5FM and the City of Mission Viejo are proud to announce that celebrated soul jazz guitarist/composer Chris Standring will guest on the next “Breakfast with Gary and Kelly” radio for TV broadcast on Saturday, March 8th. The Saturday morning radio show will broadcast live starting at 9:00 a.m. from the Norman P. Murray Community Center, 24932 Veterans Way in Mission Viejo. .
A studio audience will be welcomed in for the 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon show; doors will open at 9:30 a.m. with the final hour being videotaped for later broadcast. The program airs on the City of Mission Viejo’s MVTV Channel 30 and will also air on Saddleback College’s SCTV Channel 39 throughout the Cox Communication cable system in south Orange County. The audience will be admitted free of charge but seating is limited. Reservations can be made online at www.ksbr.org
Standring has established himself as a popular mainstay in the contemporary urban jazz genre with infectious R&B driven hits like “Cool Shades” (from 1998’s Velvet), “Hip Sway” (title track from his 2000 album), “Ain’t Mad Atcha” (2003’s Groovalicious), “I Can’t Help Myself” (from 2006’s Soul Express), “Love & Paragraphs” (from 2008’s Love & Paragraphs), and “Oliver’s Twist” (from 2012’s Electric Wonderland). He has pushed his muse into offbeat and ultimately successful ventures like Blue Bolero (whose single “Bossa Blue” was the #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Track of the Year) and Send Me Some Snow, an inviting holiday collaboration with award winning pop/folk singer/songwriter Kathrin Shorr. His new effort, “Don’t Talk, Dance!” is easily his funkiest ever and continues his successful search for fresh, new musical paths.
Now in its fourth season on TV, past guests on “Breakfast with Gary & Kelly” have included Al Jarreau, Dave Koz, Jonathan Butler, Debbie Reynolds, Linda Evans, David Benoit, Peter White, Diane Schuur, Keiko Matsui, Rick Braun, Paul Brown, Bill Cantos, Brian Culbertson, Nick Colionne, Spencer Day, and more. Gary and Kelly have conducted numerous remote broadcasts from locations all over Southern California, including the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach and Catalina Island, and they have hosted many celebrity guests.
