RnR VII: A Tribute to the Everyday Things feat. Thomas E. Kennedy, Sunday, May 18th @ Union Hall

5-18-14 posterDave and my concert series, Readin’ N Rhythm, is extremely excited to return to Union Hall on Sunday, May 18th for A Tribute to the Everyday Things, a matinee show from 3-6 pm featuring award-winning writer Thomas Kennedy (Kerrigan in Copenhagen, In The Company of Angels), an incredibly smart, talented, and funny author gifted with an enchanting, musical reading style. He’ll be performing a track from his recent album, An Introduction, featuring dynamic interpretations of Danish writer Dan Turell’s poems set to music, along with some original poetry and fiction. Copies of his CD will be available for purchase.

The amazing tenor saxophonist Igor Lumpert will also be performing with his band, America I Really Like Your Shoes. One of our favorite New York groups, jazz fusion greats Sweetpro, will close out the afternoon.  For a taste of their style, check out an episode of Louis CK’s TV show Louie – that’s right, they’re his band. RnR house band The Brooklyn Players Reading Society will kick things off with a short set at 3 pm. $5 cover. Get your tickets in advance by clicking here.

Union Hall is located at 702 Union Street near the corner of 5th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Click here for a map and directions. See you there!
