UPenn and Carly Greenberg and WEtvOver the past year, I've done stories on our very own "21st Century Girl" rocker, aka Carly Greenberg (C'05) and all the TV shows she's been singing the theme songs for.

After the jump, listen to a new theme song single she just launched for yet another new tv series!

UPenn and Malik Smith and Paramore and The Only Exception

Remember recently when I had you listen to Malik Smith's (C'10) awesome cover of "Someone Like You"?

Well, he also recently released another cover of Paramore's "The Only Exception" and it's really great!

After the jump, listen to it!

UPenn and Jill Goldberg and ghosts and Halloween


I've covered singer-songwriter Jill Goldberg (C'04, Dischord A Cappella, Penn Choir, Wind Ensemble) on DT before and have been saving this great music video of hers for Halloween because I really like this song and there were some cool animated ghosts floating around in the video.

However, what I didn't know until yesterday was the moving backstory behind this song.

After the jump, watch the video and learn about the touching reason why her perspective about ghosts has changed over the years.

UPenn and Off the Beat and Coldplay and Fix You
Since my freshman year at Penn in 1992, I've been a consistent fan of the work the Penn a capella group Off the Beat puts out. (and some of its alumni too)

After the jump listen to their great version of Coldplay's "Fix You" I just recently stumbled upon.

A particular favorite from lots of Penn alumni over the past year has been doing Adele covers.

After the jump, listen to two alumni covering Adele's "Someone Like You" (and they're really good!)

UPenn and Schatar Sapphira
I've been covering Penn alum and "Flavor of Love" reality star Schatar "Hottie" Sapphira (Arts House Resident, Inspiration, Penn Black Arts League, Penn Gospel Choir, Penn basketball manager) over the past couple of years and I get exciting updates from her from time to time (remember the Star Magazine and Jerry Springer stories?!).

I love how she goes balls-to-the-wall and pursues everything she wants.  From reality TV star to children's book illustrator to singer, Schatar is a one woman marketing machine! Her perseverance is to be lauded like these Penn alumni.

After the jump you must watch clips from two of her latest events.  All I'll say is you need to see how she enters before she sings the National Anthem at a Las Vegas event!

Recently on DT, I featured Rebecca Cook (C'11, Counterparts) a super talented new alum who did an awesome cover of an Adele song.

Turns out over the past 2 years, Rebecca has been involved in a friendly "pop song battle" with another super talented Penn (and Counterparts) classmate of hers.

After the jump, meet Johnny Lloyd (Mortar Board, Counterparts, iNtuitons '11) and check out his soulful cover of "Bills Bills Bills" by Destiny's Child.

Also, learn about how this recent grad is transitioning to life after Penn and keeping it in the arts with some other Penn friends of his.

Gabriel Mann and The Rescues and UPenn

As I eagerly wait for Gabriel Mann (C'95, Off the Beat) and The Rescues' 2nd full length album (being recorded this summer), I have been temporarily satiated by the creative, newly released official music video for their hit, "Can't Stand the Rain".

After the jump, watch the video and learn about what exciting Fall TV projects Gabe has been working on!

UPenn and Rebecca Cook and Adele


It has become clear to me that Counterparts alumni love Adele:

A few weeks ago, we heard John Legend (C99, Counterparts) sing a great cover of an Adele song.

Now, I just stumbled upon a very talented recent alum's performance (also from Counterparts) of a cover of another Adele song.

After the jump watch her performance and listen to her unique voice!

UPenn and Jill Goldberg
After the viral lady gaga cover she did, Jill Goldberg (C'04, Dischord A Cappella, Penn Choir, Wind Ensemble) has been hard at work on her new album "Girl, Polite".

The album just dropped and she's got some real catchy music on it with some interesting backstories.

John Legend and UPenn

Last week I covered a story about two Penn alum sister realtors starring on a new reality show.   While we're on the topic of New York real estate, I thought you'd all be interested to check out the real estate of Penn alum John Legend (C'99).

A decade ago John Legend shared an East Village apartment with 2 Penn friends. Now he's living the life there in a much, much nicer space.

Check out his sweet NY pad in NY Home Design magazine HERE

Are you really surprised? :)

UPenn and Malik Smith and Christmas and I'll be home for Christmas

Over the past few days we've had the "Swing Dolls" and Penn's "Glee Club" do some holiday serenading to DT readers.

Today, we have a sweet rendition of "I'll be home for Christmas" from Penn alum Malik Smith (C'10)

I've covered Malik on this site before and he seems to be producing some really great music.

After the jump, get in the holiday spirit with Malik! (and be sure to take note of his digital fireplace!)

Happy holidays everyone!

(Andrea is the blonde haired Swing Doll on the left)

When Andrea Davis (C'92) was an undergrad at Penn, she was Music Director of the Penny Loafers.  In continuing with her musical passion, over the past 10 years, she and her friends Robin and Christina have created a 1940s/1950s Andrew Sisters-esque harmonizing girl trio called the "The Swing Dolls" that tours the US.  (they were even featured on the "Gilmore Girls" a few years back!).

After the jump, listen to the Swing Dolls perform an exclusive holiday clip just for Penn alumni readers of DT!

UPenn and Gabriel Mann
After years of listening to Gabriel Mann, I can honestly say that my ear has been GabrielMannified.

I had a recent episode ("Dance, Dance, Revelation") of "Modern Family" playing in another room when I heard what sounded like Gabriel Mann singing "The Search is Over" during Luke and Manny's first school dance scene. I emailed Gabe to confirm, and sure enough it was him.

After the jump, check out the clip and listen to Gabe during minute 0:58 - 2:00.

Schatar Sapphira and VH1 and UPenn and Flavor of Love and Charm School
Here's another one for our "Who Knew" series, as well as our "Pennalicious Profiles" series...

Not only had Penn alum Schatar Sapphira (Arts House Resident, Inspiration, Penn Black Arts League, Penn Gospel Choir, Penn basketball manager) made it to the final six of Penn alum Mark Cronin's (ENG'86) "Flavor of Love" and soonafter appeared on "Charm School", but she has created quite the career for herself and certainly knows how to market herself!

As another Penn actor put it, you have to "own it" and be the CEO of yourself.

Schatar is the living, breathing embodiment of this!  And she knows it : )

(A lot) More from Schatar, how much she "loves balls" (you gotta hear this), and her achievements after the jump!

UPenn and Gabriel Mann and The Rescues

While THIS song continues to be my #1 favorite Gabriel Mann (C'95, Off the Beat) song, Gabe and his band "The Rescues" just covered another sure to be favorite of mine of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" ....and it's awesome.

Not only that but their music video for the cover is going viral with over 63k hits in 5 days (and is #31 on itunes alternative charts and climbing!)

Watch it after the jump!
