FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RICHARD BARONE & FRIENDS TO PERFORM AT EAST VILLAGE HOT SPOT DROM, ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21st
RICHARD BARONE will bring his unique brand of stylish, guitar-driven power pop and his colorful posse to the stage at DROM, 85 Avenue A (Between 5th & 6th Streets in the East Village) on Saturday, November 21st. Doors at 7 pm. Showtime is 8:30 pm.
"Is there a musician more deserving of the moniker Man About Town than Richard Barone?" - Ann Powers, The New York Times
"Prince of New York" - Andrew Aber, Village Voice
"Barone knows the alchemic formula for converting an everyday thought into a powerful refrain." - Tom Moon, National Public Radio (NPR)
Since first emerging on the scene as frontman of The Bongos, Barone has forged an acclaimed solo career, producing countless studio recordings and collaborating with world-class artists in every musical genre - from Moby to Liza Minnelli. As musical and theatrical director, he has scored shows and staged all-star concert events at such venues as Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. His fifth solo album, GLOW is in release via iTunes, and his first book, FRONTMAN: Surviving the Rock Star Myth, was published by Backbeat/Hal Leonard Books and performed as an all-star ’musical reading’ at Carnegie Hall. Most recently, Barone has released "I’ve Never Seen A Straight Banana," an album which he produced, at age 16, for the pop culture icon, Tiny Tim.
For his debut performance at DROM, Barone will be joined by collaborators including: multi-instrumentalist DENI BONET; legendary Donovan percussionist and singer-songwriter CANDY JOHN CARR; PETE KENNEDY of the folk rock duo The Kennedys; up-and-coming singer-songwriter LAURA CAYER; GLOW producer STEVE ADDABBO; and drummer RICHARD KERRIS, who performed on GLOW and directed the recent “Bulrushes 2007” video featuring The Bongos and Moby. Guest singers will perform mini-sets before joining Barone on stage for a career-spanning concert that will also introduce new songs and surprise covers.
Advance tickets and information are available at the DROM website, www.dromnyc.com. Tickets are $10. in advance, and $12. at the door.
