Leah Siegel Does Elvis

02/15/2008
. (PR) NYC singer-songwriter Leah Siegel releases a music video on itunes this Monday February 10, a live performance of Elvis's 'Love Me Tender." Siegel teamed up with Grammy nominated producer Mike Caffrey, who conceptualized and directed the project shot on location at Monster Island Studio. The video is available just in time to download or gift to loved ones this Valentine's Day.

Shot live in one take with a handeld camera, the black and white footage of Siegel's rendition captures a timeless love song that can be delivered via email as a video valentine, an idea that came to Caffrey while pondering the dying art of sending a mix tape to the one you love; a modern take on the mix tape, a throwback tune to be played back on an ipod. Using her iconic vintage Epiphone played through a 1960's amplifier, the audio and visual image capture in dimly lit contrast Siegel's much buzzed- about vocal and musical talent, the song and style itself in perfect contrast to a modern day method of sending it along.

The first release from a collection of tunes new and old captured during the shoot at Monster Island, "Love Me Tender" kicks off what Siegel and Caffrey hope to be a series of black and white videos that will be available for download on iTunes. - more info
