Live from Newark, It’s Studio 58TV

On Sunday, April 6^th, Newark based Studio 58TV debuted.  Studio 58TV is Newark’s first interactive online television studio.

Studio 58TV is the brainchild of Elliott James (Mr. James), who is a native of Newark, NJ and has an extensive background in music, dance and theatre.  As a former member of the Hampton Players-Hampton University, Mr. Elliott learned to appreciate the arts. With the creation of Studio 58TV, Mr. Elliott created an outlet for Newark and other local residents to nurture their craft as aspiring artists.  Artists have the opportunity to utilize the studio for rehearsals, meetings, photography shoots, dance recitals and art shows.  The ultimate goal of Mr. James is to transfer Studio 58TV to a network cable affiliation.

Studio 58TV will air the following shows: Meet & Greet Café, The Trunk Show and Sessions @S58.  Meet & Greet Café is a live talk show that will focus on celebrity pop culture and entertainment and will be hosted by Lisa Durden.  The Trunk Show is a live shopping show that will feature small and/or African American local business owners such as Chelsea Elam and Linda Jumah (Luxe Boutique-Newark, NJ).  The Trunk Show will be hosted by Joyce Hancock.  Finally, Sessions @S58 is an acoustic music experience, where acclaimed singers and musicians will perform live.   This show premiered with Angela Johnson, who is a songwriter, singer and producer.  On Sunday, April 14^th, singer/songwriter Amma Whatt opened for Grammy Award winner Gordon Chambers. And, both shows had a packed house of memorized music lovers.  The artists who will perform on Session @S58 are managed by George LittleJohn – Purpose Music Group.

Live entertainment is alive and well at Studio 58TV.
