Joe was signed by a major recording label, Atlantic Records, and his album The War of Women was released. In support of this record, Joe went on tour nationally, opening for famous musicians such as Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Josh Kelley, Jason Mraz, Michelle Branch, and Lisa Marie Presley.

In 2005, Joe separated himself from Atlantic Records and set his focus on being the full-time house band/artist for Last Call with Carson Daly, a gig which lasted until 2009.

His brief, eight-song set earned him a standing ovation – unheard of for a warm-up act…With his piano-powered attack and his rock eclecticism, newcomer Joe Firstman reminds you of Elton John when he was still young. Firstman is the real thing. Look for him as a contender for Best New Artist at the Grammys.” – New York Post

Raining Jane is an eclectic rock-folk band based in Los Angeles but on the road more often than not. Forming in 1999 out of the UCLA music community, Raining Jane was able to quit their day jobs in 2004 to pursue music full-time. Since then, they have toured relentlessly, averaging 120 shows per year. Taking on all business and artistic responsibilities (songwriting, booking, web design, driving -and so much more), they have become a notable example of independent success in the music industry, while simultaneously carving their own niche artistically.

Raining Jane has co-written several songs with Jason Mraz. The band co-wrote the song “A Beautiful Mess” with Mraz, which was released on his EP “We Sing.” This song also appears on Mraz’s full-length album “We Sing We Dance We Steal Things.” Raining Jane is also featured on Mraz’s “Silent Love Song,” which was released on a Fire Relief CD compilation helping victims of the 2007 San Diego wildfires.

New Episodes Airing This Summer, New Album ’The Mystery & The Hum’ Out Sept 14

Peter Himmelman’s Furious World, a live, online Rock and Roll variety show hosted by the accomplished singer-songwriter debuted in 2008 with a microphone, a camera and an internet stream. It now operates with a multi-camera, multi-audio portable Newtek Tricaster TV studio hosted live by ustream.tv (it also streams on the ustream homepage) and performances often air from Himmelman’s high-end home studio, to thousands of viewers. The highly improvised show features the sharp-witted Himmelman along with special guests, musical performances, and artistic interludes.

Past guests on Furious World include American Idol alum Brooke White, Wayne Kramer (MC5), folk artist Dan Bern, producer Larry Klein, Pandora founder Tim Westergren and ‘Food, Inc.’ director Robert Kenner.

Recurring segments include “Turtle Talk” featuring a philosophic tortoise named King Ferdinand, a poetic video montage known as “Phantoms Of The 405,” and a call-in segment, “Speak Out,” that typically ends the show.

Music Player (http://musicplayer.com) will be streaming upcoming episodes of Furious World on their sites, which include Keyboard Player, Guitar Player and EQ. The shows will also be archived for playback. “Music Player’s online community is one of the most interesting places on the web for musicians to get information and inspiration.” says Himmelman.

“MPN’s content is always focused on helping musicians sound better and play better,” says Guitar Player Editor in Chief and Group Editorial Director Michael Molenda. “So it’s a real thrill to share Peter’s compelling and unique views on creativity, music production, and live performance—as well as his fabulously wry sense of humor—with our community.”

Furious World will be airing a series of new episodes this summer, the first of which will premiere August 17 at 7PM Pacific Time with special guest Jim Keltner. Keltner is best known for his session work with George Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr.
