INTIMATE NEW YORK CITY HEADLINING SHOW CONFIRMED
FOR SEPTEMBER 25TH AT THE CUTTING ROOM
(New York, NY) – Broadway/TV star Brandon Victor Dixon’s new video/single, “Hotel California,” is out now via BVD Records. Please click here to experience the video of his elegant, soulful, powerful rendition of one of the best-loved classic rock songs of all time, The Eagles’ “Hotel California”.
The song features Dixon’s mellifluous lead vocals, a lush orchestral string arrangement, a gospel choir as well as piano, guitar, drums and bass. Please click here to hear the song.
Of the recording’s inspiration, Brandon Victor Dixon commented, “’Hotel California’ is one of the first rock songs I fell for. My father used to drop me off at school every morning on his way to work and we always listened to Imus in the Morning.
Imus was playing it one day and my Dad noticed me bopping to it as I was reading my book; he was always asking me to get my head out of the book when I was with him. As he turned it up, I put the book down, and we kept bopping together. I’ve loved it ever since.
When I heard Kaveh Rastegar’s arrangement, I just had to record a version in homage to the memory. The song is timeless and with Michael Valerio’s cinematic strings I think we manage to capture its mystique and grandeur.”
“Hotel California” is taken from Brandon Victor Dixon’s forthcoming as-of-yet-untitled solo album, which is now slated for an early 2026 release.
