Happy new year to everyone. The rest of this month became booked rather quickly with performance work. I’ll be performing two different styles of shows for the ever discerning pallet. Tomorrow night I’ll be in Williamsburg at Rose Live with Willie and The Wolves, a surf, sould, blues (and more) act . Next week I’ll be at Pace University’s Schaeberle Theater on percussion for Ryan Scot Oliver (RSO) and B.T. Ryback’s world premiere six-night reading of the new musical Darling. I first worked with RSO on a recording for his show Alive At Ten. Read more about Darling on BroadwayWorld.com.
A contemporary love story, Green Eyes tracks the rise and fall of a relationship over time through folk-rock music and modern dance. The new musical utilizes two singers, two dancers, and a five-piece orchestra to fuse both song and dance, shedding new light on the traditional “boy meets girl” story.
Diana Glazer, in association with Steve Tate and Leopold Group, are proud to present Green Eyes as part of the 11th Annual New York International Fringe Festival and will be showing for five dates beginning August 16, 2008.
Directed by Jessica Redish** who recently created the musical staging for the Lortel Award-winning Adding Machine, green eyes has been described by North Shore Chicago Magazine as “a multi-media musical for the John Mayer generation.”
Purchase tickets, listen to past recordings and get more background of the show at the Green Eyes website.
For those of you that subscribe to my RSS feed you’ll know that I did not post anything about my show last night with Les Funky Bitches Fantastique. A referral from Josh Landay who I performed Tock Tick with in February 2007 for Prospect Theater Company. We performed the opening set of the night at The Annex. There is unfortuntely not much online that is up to date regarding this project by Richard Caliban but you can can at least get some background at Richard’s site.
You have only seven more chances to see Honor, the new musical from Prospect Theater Company, where I’m playing percussion with the five piece orchestra directed by Dan Feyer.
Every Saturday this month I will be performing with the lovely Suzanne Fiore at the The Metropolitan Room. Each week the sets start at 5:00PM. Call for reservations at 212-206-0440. The cover is $20 with a $15 minimum.
This weekend I will be playing percussion for Prospect Theater Company’s Dark Night Series, Museum Pieces, When Art Inspires MORE Than Life. Technically I’m not playing for all of the mini-musicals but it’s a catchy title for this article right?
