Railroad Earth Plays Patchogue Theatre March 22 2023

By Rocco Delfino — 2 years ago

Railroad Earth plays Patchogue Theatre March 22, 2023.

For over two decades, Railroad Earth has captivated audiences with gleefully unpredictable live shows and eloquent and elevated studio output.

The group introduced its signature sound on 2001’s The Black Bear Sessions.

Between selling out hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, they’ve launched the longstanding annual Hangtown Music Festival in Placerville, CA and Hillberry: The Harvest Moon Festival in Ozark, AR—both running for a decade-plus.

Sought after by legends, the John Denver Estate tapped them to put lyrics penned by the late John Denver to music on the 2019 vinyl EP, Railroad Earth: The John Denver Letters.

Beyond tallying tens of millions of streams, the collective have earned widespread critical acclaim from David Fricke of Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Glide Magazine, and NPR who assured,

“Well-versed in rambling around, as you might expect from a band named after a Jack Kerouac poem,

the New Jersey-built jam-grass engine Railroad Earth has let no moss grow under its rustic wheels.”

 

The celebrated New Jersey septet — Todd Sheaffer [lead vocals, acoustic guitar], Tim Carbone [violins, electric guitar, vocals], John Skehan [mandolin, bouzouki, piano, vocals], Carey Harmon [drums, percussion, vocals], Dave Speranza [upright & electric bass], Matt Slocum (organ and piano), and Mike Robinson (banjo, guitar, steel) chronicle the twists and turns of this journey through eloquent songcraft, bluegrass soul, and rock ‘n’ roll spirit.

About Neal Brennan

Three-time Emmy nominated writer, director, producer, and standup comedian Neal Brennan has become a force in the comedy world. An across-the-board talent, Neal has found success in almost every creative vein in the comedy community. His latest Netflix comedy special Neal Brennan: Blockspremieres globally on November 8.

Neal Brennan: Blocks was adapted from Neal’s hit one-man show Unacceptable. Beloved Magician/Artist Derek Delgaudio (HULU’s In & Of Itself) directed both the Netflix special and the theatre run. The stage show had a sold-out NYC residency in the Fall of 2021, with Interview Magazine lauding “together, Brennan and DelGaudio have crafted a genre-bending show focused as much on fun and laughter as it is on intimacy and honesty” and Theatermania gushing “The comedians Neal Brennan has written for is insane….Even more insane (in the best way), is the material Brennan writes for himself.”

Neal’s critically acclaimed first off-Broadway one-man show 3 Mics also enjoyed a sold-out NYC run in 2016 with superstar musician John Legend serving as Executive Producer. 3 Mics was taped as a stand-up special, which premiered on Netflix in 2017, with Paste Magazine offering “It will floor you in the best way possible.”

As in-demand behind the camera as he is in front of it, Neal was recently a writer, creative consultant, and on-air correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. He is a longtime collaborator of iconic comedian Dave Chappelle, with whom he has created multiple comedy fan favorites including the legendary Chappelle’s Show and the Emmy-winning Saturday Night Live episode immediately following the 2016 presidential election. Neal served as Executive Producer on Chris Rock’s recent standup special Chris Rock: Tamborine and as Director on fellow Daily Show Correspondent Michelle Wolf’s HBO special Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady. He has helped create and performed in numerous TV series and films, developing what The New York Times calls his “hip-hop and Frontline aesthetic.” He regularly headlines the good standup venues in the good parts of America.

Broadway: Mike Birbiglia Extends “The Old Man & the Pool” Through Jan 15

By Rocco Delfino — 3 years ago

Broadway-lovers! Mike Birbiglia Extends “The Old Man & the Pool” Through Jan 15

On the heels of the show’s sold-out first weekend of performances, producers Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Patrick Catullo, and Seaview, are thrilled to announce

Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool will extend its Broadway engagement

due to popular demand.

The acclaimed new solo play, written and performed by Screen Actors Guild, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Lortel Award winner Mike Birbiglia, will now play an additional two weeks through Sunday, January 15, 2023, at the esteemed Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center.

Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool

Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool

Tickets to Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool are on sale now at Telecharge.com/212-239-6200.

One of the greatest comedic storytellers, at the top of his game. Following his award-winning show The New One, Mike Birbiglia has returned to Broadway with a coming-of-middle-age story about when life takes a dive – into a highly-chlorinated YMCA pool.

Propelled by his singular, insightful voice and everyman style, Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool is a wildly hilarious and deeply moving play that offers “a galvanic, endearing and very funny meditation on mortality – deftly using comedy to demonstrate that when you stop thrashing around and exist in the moment – you float.” (Chicago Sun-Times).

Following sold-out runs in Los Angeles and Chicago, The Old Man & the Pool began Broadway previews on Friday, October 28, 2022, and will celebrate its official Opening Night on Sunday, November 13. The play is directed by Seth Barrish (The New One), with contributions by Peabody Award-winning Story Consultant Ira Glass (This American Life).

“In my 22 years of performing comedy, and five solo shows,

The Old Man & the Pool has given me the most rewarding experience I’ve ever felt with audiences,”

said Mike Birbiglia

upon the announcement of the show’s Broadway premiere. “This is a show I’m very proud of, and I can’t believe I get to perform it at Lincoln Center – after auditioning for the Philharmonic, the Opera, and the New York City ballet, I thought I’d never get the chance. But here I am. Sometimes you get lucky!”

Birbiglia continued, “It’s always been a cliché that audiences need to laugh but— honestly— after all we’ve been through in the last few years, people really do need to laugh. And sometimes, laughing about the darkest topics can be the most cathartic. I hope you join me. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll call your parents. You’ll write your will.”

Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man and the Pool was Originally Produced by Center Theatre Group and played to sold-out houses in its world premiere at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, CA in 2022, following a sold-out developmental run at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago. Entertainment Weekly raved, “The artful storyteller Mike Birbiglia is excellent at his craft, and in The Old Man & the Pool, the comedian is at the top of his game. I felt connected to him. Hilarious observations unfold into tales that are charming and gripping. You never feel like he’s performing a bit, but rather like you’re throwing back a beer with your funniest friend.” Variety wrote, “The core of Mike Birbiglia’s charm is… he’s favorite-pair-of-jeans comfortable, and remarkably skilled at finding profundity in subjects well within arm’s reach. The Old Man & the Pool feels like catching up with an old friend – you never want him to shut up.”

Marking Birbiglia’s fifth solo play collaboration with director Seth Barrish, the play’s creative team also includes Tony Award-winning Scenic Designer Beowulf Boritt (Act One, POTUS), four-time Tony Award Nominated Costume Designer Toni-Leslie James (Paradise Square, The Piano Lesson), Lighting Designer Aaron Copp (The New One, Falling Out of Time), Tony Award-winning Sound Designer Kai Harada (The Band’s Visit, Kimberly Akimbo), and Projection Designer Hana S. Kim (The Visitor, Eve’s Song).

Tickets to Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool are on sale now at Telecharge.com/212-239-6200, and at the Lincoln Center Theater Box Office (150 W 65th Street, NYC).

NYC’s South Street Seaport Museum Halloween Family at historic ship Wavertree Oct 29 & 30

By Rocco Delfino — 3 years ago
South Street Seaport Museum announces Halloween Family Activity Weekend on Saturday, October 29 and Sunday, October 30, 2022, 11am–5pm aboard the main deck of the historic tall ship Wavertree, docked at Pier 16 (Fulton and South Streets).
Fall means fun for the whole family at the Seaport.
Enhance your onboard experience with hands-on activities, engagement stations, and creative projects for kids of all ages that will illuminate history and life at sea.
Activities are included with free Seaport Museum admission,  register at seaportmuseum.org/gourd-scrimshaw.
Why carve a pumpkin when you could scrimshaw a gourd?
Join the South Street Seaport Museum for spooky scrimshaw!
Get into the Halloween spirit by etching your favorite seasonal design into gourds aboard Wavertree, surrounded by sailors’ spirits of yore. Guests can also participate in family activity stations throughout the campus, including a Halloween-inspired scavenger hunt.
Wavertree is designated on the National Register of Historic Places and represents the thousands of ships that docked along New York’s waterfront over the centuries. Gaze up at the towering masts and miles of rigging. Learn how people worked and lived aboard a 19th century cargo sailing vessel, from the captain to the ship’s officers, cooks, and crew. Look out across New York Harbor and see the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights. Or, look landward and see the skyline of the Financial District, which flourished because of ships like Wavertree, which brought in the goods that helped businesses thrive.
Wavertree is permanently moored at Pier 16 and does not sail the harbor. Access to Wavertree requires climbing a small set of ladder-type stairs and an angled gangway.

Adam Driver, Filmmaker Noah Baumbach’s ‘White Noise’ Open 60th New York Film Festival

By Rocco Delfino — 3 years ago

Adam Driver, Filmmaker Noah Baumbach “White Noise” will open the 60th New York Film Festival.

After its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival Film, Noah Baumbach’s feature take of Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel White Noise opens the 60th New York Film Festival, making its North American premiere at Alice Tully Hall on September 30.

In the Netflix movie, Adam Driver plays Jack Gladney, a professor and father-of-four whose comfortable suburban college town life and marriage to the private Babette (Greta Gerwig) are upended after a horrifying accident creates a toxic event.

DeLillo’s novel is known for being a pop-philosophical nightmare on unbounded consumerism, ecological catastrophe, and the American obsession with death.

“In 1985 my father and I drove from Brooklyn to see Kurosawa’s Ran open the 23rd NYFF, the same year that he brought home the hardback of Don DeLillo’s White Noise,” said Baumbach.

“Opening the 60th NYFF with White Noise is truly special for me.

This festival was part of my film education and has been a home for me and many of my movies over the years.

I couldn’t be more excited and honored to return.”

“Opening the 60th edition of the New York Film Festival with Noah Baumbach’s ambitious, funny, and resonant White Noise underscores this Festival’s history of introducing new filmmakers to New York audiences.

A regular attendee of the Festival as a kid, Noah Baumbach saw his indie filmmaking career take off after debuting Kicking and Screaming at NYFF in 1995,” said Eugene Hernandez, Executive Director of the New York Film Festival.

“White Noise will usher in a 60th NYFF selection of films by established directors and vibrant new voices;

we’re looking forward to sharing the communal experience of cinema with audiences at Lincoln Center and in other parts of the city this fall! Stay tuned!”

Baumbach’s previous NYFF Main Slate selections include Kicking and Screaming (NYFF33), The Squid and the Whale (NYFF43), Margot at the Wedding (NYFF45), Frances Ha (NYFF50), The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (NYFF55), and Marriage Story (NYFF57 Centerpiece). Baumbach’s While We’re Young was a secret screening at NYFF52.

Baumbach co-directed the documentary De Palma with Jake Paltrow, which was a special event at NYFF53.

The NYFF Main Slate selection committee, chaired by Lim, also includes Hernandez, Florence Almozini, K. Austin Collins, and Rachel Rosen.

Presented by Film at Lincoln Center, the New York Film Festival will run from Sept. 30-Oct. 16.

Hamptons: Howard Jones & Midge Ure Visit NY’s Patchogue Theatre for The Dialogue Tour Sunday July 17

By Rocco Delfino — 3 years ago
Howard Jones & Midge Ure Visit NY’s Patchogue Theatre for The Dialogue Tour Sunday July 17
See HOWARD JONES Live!
Hits include “New Song,” “What is Love,” “Pearl in the Shell,” “Hide and Seek,” “Like to Get to Know You Well,” “Look Mama,” “Things Can Only Get Better,” “Everlasting Love,” and “No One is to Blame.”
Special Guests from Ultravox, MIDGE URE
Hits include “Vienna,” “Dancing With Tears in My Eyes,” “If I Was,” “Dear God Why,” and “Do They Know It’s Christmas.”
It was in 1983 that Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene with his very English songwriting, pioneering synthesizers and thought provoking lyrics. He set out his manifesto in his very first single “New Song.” The lyrics called on the listener to challenge their preconceived ideas, to see both sides and “throw off your mental chains.” “New Song” was recently used in a pivotal scene in Breaking Bad where Aaron Paul’s character Jessie Pinkman questions if he wants to “play by the rules.” “New Song” peaked at number 3 in the UK singles charts.
Along with “New Song,” the first two albums, Humans Lib and Dream into Action, brought Howard a host of hits including “Things Can Only Get Better,” “What is Love,” “Pearl In The Shell,” “Like to Get To know You Well,” “Hide And Seek” (performed at Live Aid), “Look Mama” and “No One Is To Blame,” which reached No.1 in the US. Howard has sold over 8 million albums across the globe and is one of a select group of British artists who have comprehensively ‘broken America’.
Howard’s Synthesizer driven debut influenced a new generation of electronic and dance musicians. Widely regarded as a pioneer of synths such as the Roland Juno 60, Jupiter 8 and Moog Prodigy he has worked with contemporary electronic artists such as Ferry Corsten, Eric Prydz and most recently Cedric Gervais. Howard enjoyed 14 weeks in the billboard dance chart top 40 in 2013 with his collaboration with Cedric on a new version of “Things Can Only Get Better.” Howard continues to operate at the forefront of music technology in both his live shows and productions.
Joining Howard Jones is one of the key members of the new wave band Ultravox, guitarist/vocalist Midge Ure.
**Meet & Greet Experience Package | $125 + Ticket + Fees

Century-Old Tunnel at Niagara Falls Opens, Offering Visitors Never-Before-Seen View

In 1905, the first hydroelectric power plant opened on the Canadian site of the Niagara River. Origingally it provided Canadians a way to harness and create electricity, or hydroelectricity. Now, it offers visitors a unique interactive experience.

A national landmark in Canada has opened a 100-year-old tunnel for visitors to explore.

“It led to the industrialization of South Ontario, western New York.

And today, we have adapted it for use, this industrial heritage site,

so the attraction of the generator hall floor,”

Niagara Parks CEO David Adamas said.

Canada’s Niagara Power Company offers visitors a unique interactive experience where they can learn the history and it provides visitors with never-before-seen views of the Falls.

NYC’s Times Square is about to undergo a massive update.

 

“This is a 2,200-foot-long tunnel,

so the guest will take a glass-enclosed elevator down 180-feet,

down to the bottom into the wheel pit and then out the tunnel and into a brand-new viewing platform, which extends 65 feet out into the Niagara River, and they are going to

get spectacular new views of Niagara Falls,”

Niagara Parks Director Kim Viney said.

The Tunnel at the Niagara Parks Power Station officially opened to the public Friday.
