Deirdre Broderick: Home
Hey - you found me! Now that you're here, take a look around, make yourself at home, tell me what you're thinking...
Your first stop should definitely be to check out the MUSIC page. We just added the new single I'M PANSY WARRIOR PRINCESS - written for that Internet Goddess of Gaming herself - Pansy Warrior Princess. It's a metal head extravaganza featuring smokin' hot guitar solos by none other than American guitar icon DAVID SPINOZZA. Give it a listen here and be sure to visit Pansy at her realm - www.pansywarriorprincess.com!
Had a great time playing along with Rod Hohl and his merry band MAX GREENE at National Underground. Check the CALENDAR page for all the juicy details of upcoming live dates. I'll also be announcing the next dates at Hostelling International on West 103rd and Amsterdam in NYC as they're confirmed.
Meanwhile, it looks like our good friends at cdbaby.com have now made it incredibly easy for you to download my entire album in MP3 form! Just go here:

As you well know, in handy MP3 form you can pop my tunes into almost any music spewing device you own. Isn't that nice!
Still thrilled from singing with Bob Bisaccia and the Todd Sullivan Orchestra as part of a benefit concert for the Fisher House Foundation. They provide housing for the families of returning wounded soldiers and war veterans. It's an incredible service they provide and a real honor to have sung on their behalf. Check out the PHOTOS page for a few action shots!
Last race season I had the honor of being asked to sing the National Anthem at Limerock Racetrack in Connecticut! A real privilege AND I got to get up close and personal with a bunch of classic Ferraris! It's a whole other world...
Thanks to all who jammed into the last show at THE CUTTING ROOM. Capacity crowd, a-hootin' and a-hollerin' - you made absolute spectacles of yourselves - and we loved it! Stay tuned for details on upcoming shows...
First time I played THE CUTTING ROOM was February 12, 2006 under 27 inches of snow, when I had the privilege of being PRESENTED in concert by none other than legendary promoter SID BERNSTEIN. Just thinking about it makes me giddy... There are lots of photos, coincidentally on the PHOTO page, and I've posted the whole bloomin' story on my NEWS page - take a look!
And many thanks to DJ Steve Jarrell - the Daddy-O on the Patio - at WSGI in Tennessee! He flew up to New York to be a part of the big show and wound up stealing everybody's heart... He's been spinning SMACK and my covers of Joni Mitchell's BOTH SIDES NOW and the Beatles' IN MY LIFE on his radio show and given some great encouragement...If you'd like to hear what he's been calling "the best cover of that Beatles song I've ever heard" visit my MUSIC page! And be sure to tune in to his show every day from 2-6pm at www.wsgi1100.com. Thanks Steve!!!
Also, IN MY LIFE just got added to the playlist on a soooopah 24 hour Beatles station - www.beatlesarama.com - many thanks to DJ Pat Matthews! All Beatles all the time...I can say no more...
...except this - I had the pleasure of singing at the Baggot Inn in the West Village with BEATLESTOCK - and the place was packed and singing along! Check out my PHOTOS page...
The other big news is that ABCD - THE MOVIE has been picked up by Lifetime Television! For some unfathomable reason, they're broadcasting it under a new title - HER OWN CHOICE - but I don't think they have the technology to digitally insert Connie Seleca into the picture yet. Anyway, they're showing the movie, whatever it's called, oh yeah - HER OWN CHOICE, right, over the course of the next 2 1/2 years so be sure to check your local listings every week for the next 130 weeks!
Meanwhile, many thanks to all of you who came to see TEACH ME ALL ABOUT LOVE, JOHNNY MATHIS in NYC. We were packed, everybody was laughing (loud and on purpose) and nobody lost an eye - so I'm calling that a BIG SUCCESS!! And I've added a semi-humiliating picture from the show to the Photos page so be sure to pop in and mock me...Now starts the uphill climb of securing a producer to take it to the next level - with a little luck, soon I'll be announcing JOHNNY Phase II. I'll keep you posted!
For those of you keeping track, I've re-posted my original "Blue Note Records" saga on the News Page, now with new blood-curdling chapters. It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride. Ah, the glamour of the music industry. There have been a few more twists and turns on that ride - when I know for sure that nobody over there is peeking, I'll fill you in. In the meantime, check out the story and share my pain...
In the meantime, I expanded my horizons and wound up playing keyboards for a whacked out sci-fi musical called THE WILD WOMEN OF PLANET WONGO. You know; the usual: astronauts crash land on a planet of bikini clad sex-crazed cannibal women. Who sing and dance. It was part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival. The creators are hoping it will have a new life in the future. Visit their site - www.planetwongo.com
And be sure to check out the MUSIC page for some toe-tapping and eye-dabbing tunes...by overwhelming demand I've added MAKE IT HAPPEN and everybody's favorite dysfunctional love song SMACK! ...ALSO - we've just added some of the songs from my soundtrack album ABCD. You definitely want to give those tracks a listen...and maybe take them home with you in cd form from the "Buy" page or in easy to carry MP3 form from the link:

And in honor of our late great chihua-ier, Teddy Salad, his portraits will forever sit in the photo gallery. He was truly the psychic wonder pup...
On a happier note, please check out the CD releases of 2 wonderful jazz performers who have each recorded the songs of Kassoff and Broderick. JASPER KUMP's album SUNDAY IN NEW YORK featuring the song YOU ARE ALL THE WORLD TO ME with lyrics by yours truly and music by the legendary Russ Kassoff. And the phenomenal singer CATHERINE DUPUIS offers her new CD - THE RULES OF THE ROAD - featuring 3 Kassoff/Broderick tunes - YOU ARE ALL THE WORLD TO ME, I REMEMBER and WHEN HE'S NEAR MY PIANO. Stop by the Links page to check their sites out, too!
