Echoes of Etta
July 3
9:30 PM
Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette Street)

Starring New York soul singer William Blake (winner of the 2014 Bistro and NY Nightlife Awards for Outstanding Vocalist) with music director Michael Thomas Murray (50 Shades! the Musical, Forever Dusty), his band, and a trio of gorgeous back-up girls - The Peaches, this is an energetic and no-holds-barred review. The show has played to multiple sold-out houses at Birdland, Joe's Pub, The Café Carlyle, and for the Commissioner's Tailgate at this year's Superbowl. Co-creators Murray and Blake deliver palpable life to these long-loved classic songs in this musical testimonial to the legend who bridged the gap between Rock 'n' Roll and Rhythm and Blues, Miss Etta James.

Fans can expect to hear many of their favorite Etta James tunes - "A Sunday Kind of Love", "At Last", "Tell Mama", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "I'd Rather Go Blind", "Something's Got A Hold On Me" and "Purple Rain", just to name a few.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased here. Visit echoesofetta.com for more information

LUDO's Broken Bride
June 23
9:30 PM
The Cutting Room (44 E. 32nd Street)

"LUDO's Broken Bride is a rock opera expanded from the concept album of the same name by alternative rock band LUDO. Thanks to the addition of songs from across LUDO's entire discography, the storyline has been enhanced from the original EP but its heart remains the same, telling one man's time-traveling journey from the "Age of Dinosaurs" to the "Zombie Apocalypse," all to save his true love's life (and perhaps the whole world!). In a shorter form the piece was presented to a sold-out audience at Ars Nova's ANT Fest 2013. This musical has it all -- pterodactyls, zombies, puppets, and true love!"

Featuring Drew Gasparini, Alysha Umphress (American Idiot), and Caitlin Kinnunen (Bridges of Madison County), Randy Blair (Fat Camp), Brian Charles Rooney (The Threepenny Opera), Nate Begle (John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean), Aymee Garcia (Shrek, Avenue Q), Maddy Jarmon, Dan Kohler (Flashdance), Brendan Malafronte (John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean), Althea Neri, Azudi Onyejekwe (Violet) and Kate Steinberg.

Tickets are $10 or $15 at the door. Visit ludosbrokenbride.com.
