Hello Friends:
While we’re now just beyond the point of wishing everyone Happy New Year for 2016, I didn’t want 2015 to pass by completely without reflecting on what has transpired on Alive with Clive in the year(s) preceding 2016.
And so, in this in this Blog post I’m going to mention what has been accomplished to date in the world of Alive with Clive before setting the stage for what is in store for the future.
So Much Amazing Talent Prevalent
In keeping with prior years, in 2015 a singer-songwriter was featured on Alive with Clive in a new show every single week.
As in 2014, most singer-songwriters who appeared on Alive with Clive in 2015 were on two shows, and for the year a total of 31 singer-songwriters were featured on the show.
To give you a sense in a couple of images of the breadth and depth of talented singer-songwriters who were featured on the show in 2015, I’ve created two global graphics.
Here’s the first of the two, showing the singer-songwriters who were on Alive with Clive in the first half of the year:

Some Background Info
While Alive with Clive was established in its earliest form in September, 2004, as a talk show that featured guests from different fields with a desire to turn a passion into profit, in 2007 the show began to evolve into one that exclusively features today’s top emerging and established singer-songwriters — to inspire you to multiply your magnificence and create an upward spiral of brilliance and joy in the world!
Diverse Origins of Guests
While most singer-songwriters who appear on the show are based in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey or Connecticut, the show has featured singer-songwriters not only from a multitude of other states, but also from several other countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Georgia, Israel, Japan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
