(Feb 17, 2016 - Los Angeles, CA) Oleg Frish, the acclaimed New York based radio and talk show host and  singer/performer is celebrating his 20th Anniversary in media this year.  Since moving from Russia to New York to premiere his weekly  talk show on Russian Television International (RTVi) he has  interviewed over 2,000 music stars, celebrities, and many of his personal American idols including;  the late James Brown, B.B. King and Donna Summer, Connie Francis, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Kenny G, to name just a few.  Frish is kicking off his anniversary year with the release of a new single/video, “The Things We Did Last Summer”, which is culled  from his recent album release, “Oleg Frish, Duets With My American Idols.” The single will be released on February 22, and the accompanying video will have its world premiere on February 23.

“The Things We Did Last Summer,” is one of four solo performances by Oleg on his album.  The video, which features Frish’s smooth voice reminiscing about time spent with a loved one, (played by Yulia Zavyalova, a noted actress, television and  radio personality),  was produced  and directed by Pete Polyakov on locations  in NYC, Soho, and at the Master Theater in Brooklyn. It’s Oleg’s debut solo video, and follows his earlier duet videos with Gary U.S. Bonds (“You’re Nobody Until Somebody Loves You”) and Lou Christie (“When You’re Smiling’).


Oleg Frish: Duets With My American Idols,’ is a fourteen track opus comprised of 10 amazing duets with an all-star cast of revered artists and favorites of Oleg’s, who deliver inspired performances of classic songs from the golden years of the American Songbook .  The album includes an introduction by Connie Francis and duets with Bobby Rydell, Gary U. S. Bonds, Lainie Kazan, Tony Orlando, the late Ben E. King (in his last known recording), Melissa Manchester, Chris Montez, Peggy March,  and  B.J. Thomas. The recording  was released on Frish’s own imprint, Time Out Media, distributed by BDG/RED Distribution, LLC (a division of SONY Music Entertainment).


“I’ve always been fascinated and an avid fan of songs from the American Songbook, which I believe is the greatest music ever recorded. Making this album and getting a chance to sing with so many incredible artists  was really a dream come true.” – Oleg Frish


Over the past 5 years Oleg has also been developing his live show with sold out performances at the Metropolitan Room in NYC and other venues (The Laurie Beechman Theater, The Millennium Theater in Brooklyn, and Joe’s Pub ).
