Whittington Still: What's New

Indigo Blues is a stage play written and directed by Cheryl Cherrie of CJ Productions. The show ran for two days at the Maranatha Fellowship Center in Moorestown, NJ on June 25th & 26th.

The cast was great and Whittington Still took on the the character of Ms. Indigo Blue. She was a jazz singing, Southern Bell who had an emotional roller coaster to take her audience on!

"It was a great experience and I had no idea the character would come so alive! I was excited when I heard that some people in the audience actually became a little frightened by the crazed Southern bell & her roller coaster ride. It was so cool to be able to sing during the play! After all, singing is my first love, but I must admit...acting is running a close second!" - Whittington Still

**COMING SOON** - Video footage from "Indigo Blues" and pictures.

Recently, a local artist invited Whittington Still to the studio to add a
soulful sound to the rapper's latest project!  They both have known each
other for a while now and would often mention working together but they
were both preoccupied.

Interestingly, "Dre" didn't forget Still while composing his second CD
titled "Grown Man's Island". Here's what Still had to say about the
project...

"I've only gone into the studio to complete songs from start to finish and
in between. (Smiling) This was the first time I went in and was able to
sing hooks and adlibs, hoping to add some soul to the rap. I like a few
rappers and their message but I never thought I would be considered for a
project like this. It was great & I had so much fun! "Dre" is so easy to
work with. The engineer "Roscoe" out of Philadelphia was a genius & knew
just what we needed to make the song hot!  The songs on this project truly
show Dre’s growth in his talents as well his delivery. Hence the title of
the CD… “Grown Man’s Island”.  I’m so proud of him!”

There were many of you that wished me luck on my audition for "Smokey Joes Cafe" and I want to say “thank you”. I booked the show!!! How excited am I?

The show will run for 3 days. The dates are February 12, 13 & 14th.

This will be my first theatrical performance and I'm really looking forward to it! I guess this is just one of the many new ideas I spoke about for 2010.

Thanks again for all of your well wishes and support! Visit the Mainstage Organization website for show & ticket information. http://mainstage.org/

When asked about life out on the West Coast Whittington Still commented on California being her second home after living out there for a number of years. "When I was just a little girl, I would tell my dad that I was going to live in California one day... & in 1999 the plan went into motion. I began performing in California with my band and absolutely loved it! I also started working on my first demo. During that time certain decisions had to be made and I decided to come back to the East coast. I have so much love and support right here and it's been a blessing!"

Thanks Camden!

Q. Where did you get the name 'Whittington Still'?

A. Well, I lost my mother at the age of seven. However, I need to believe that she's with me in spirit today and everyday. She definitely has an authentic connection as the unselfish giver of life and the designer of my various talents. So it is my choice & my pleasure to incorporate my mother and the idea of her by using her beautiful name - Rhoda Whittington.

My grandmother is also with me in spirit. I was young when I lost her as well. However, she was in my life for a slightly longer period than my mother. I remember my grandmother's smile, her genuine love for her children and every last one of her grandchildren. She was some kind of special! My grandmother's name is well known for its history. You can read about our history in the "Historical Still Family" write up below.

My grandmother -Geraldine Still and my mother - Rhoda Whittington, are two very special people in my life. The combination of 'Whittington' with 'Still' was perfect! I love it! And that is how the name Whittington Still evolved.
