NY/NJ Elite Musicians - THE WEEKLINGS - Drop By The GingerNewYork TV Show in Manhattan

NEW YORK - Jan. 14, 2017 - PRLog -- The Weeklings: While together only two years, are already making their mark in the entertainment business. They are in heavy rotation at a number of radio stations. Their song "Little Elvis" earned the title of "Coolest Song in the World" for a week on Sirius/XM's "Little Steven's Underground Garage" channel.  Last year, their song "You Know What To Do", a rare George Harrison composition from their well received debut album "Monophonic", was voted the #2 "Coolest Song of the Year" on the Underground Garage.

The Weeklings, "Studio 2" is special music, ready for the largest audiences. Their sold-out "Studio 2" CD Release Concert was recorded for an upcoming "Loft Session" on Sirius/XM Channel 30. Chris Carter, host of "Breakfast With The Beatles/British Invasion", 95.5 KLOS-FM/XM Ch. 21 was clearly impressed by The Weeklings. Carter said that "Studio 2 is the GREATEST Rock 'N' Roll long player of the year 2016."

The Weeklings was very well received on the BBC Merseyside radio show hosted by rock music author Spencer Leigh and his panel of reviewers. As a result, it was suggested The Weeklings come to Liverpool to perform.

The Weeklings have distinguished themselves in the music world. They flew to England to record at Abbey Road Studios. After discussing ideas with former Beatles recording engineers Ken Scott and Alan Parsons, they recorded in the very room called Studio 2, where The Beatles had worked. In a most unusual move, The Weeklings recorded "Studio 2" using vintage 1960's equipment and some of the same instruments used by the Beatles (including the actual piano used in "A Day in the Life") to produce their iconic albums.

The ever growing Weeklings fan base has been supportive and enthusiastic since the group started, and shows have been sold-out. More than 2,500 fans attended the band's performance at The Asbury Park Christmas tree lighting show in December 2016. There were approximately 3,500 fans at an outdoor concert in Bensalem, PA.
