Star Kitchen Discusses New Project, Premieres “Entirely”

Prolific bassist, Marc Brownstein, remembers the day John Lennon died. Brownstein, now 47, grew up in New York City. And on December 8th, 1980, he remembers the news and the outpouring of emotion that stemmed from the murder of the Beatles legend. He saw people flood the streets, make signs, talk on the news. Odd as it may seem, the multitude of responses propelled Brownstein to investigate music more. Whatever could provoke this amount of response had to be powerful. Soon, Brownstein became a Beatles fantastic, diving into their complexities. And his adoration for music continues today with his new funk project, Star Kitchen, which is set to release its debut single, “Entirely,” here with American Songwriter.

“I’d never seen anything like that before,” Brownstein says. “Seeing the responses got me interested in the Beatles’ music. I wanted to know what was behind all those people pouring into the streets to celebrate somebody’s life. So, I asked my parents for some Beatles music to understand those emotions.”
