Johnny
Rodgers brings an evening of his pop and jazz-infused original music
to BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080 - http://www.birdlandjazz.com/
) on Wednesday, March 31st at 9:00 & 11:00 pm. The band, featured

Brian Glassman on bass, Danny Mallon on drums/percussion, and Joe
Ravo on guitar. There is a $20 cover charge plus a $10 food/drink

From Off-Broadway
theaters to the Manhattan nightclub scene, Johnny Rodgers has been
knocking audiences out with his swinging vocals, sophisticated piano
and emotionally charged original songs. Since his move from Chicago
three years ago, he has shared the stage with such diverse luminaries
as Sir Paul McCartney and Chrissie Hynde at the PETA Humanitarian
Awards and Michael Feinstein at Carnegie Hall, and was featured on
Garrison Keillorís "A Prairie Home Companion" on National Public Radio.
Last year, Johnny appeared in the Off-Broadway production of Our Sinatra.
Johnny has
been the recipient of many performance and songwriting awards, including
the prestigious Abe Olman Scholarship from the Songwriterís Hall of
Fame, the Manhattan Association of Clubs Award for Best Male Debut
Performer, the Backstage Magazine Bistro Award for Outstanding Debut,
the Gerald Marks Award from the New York Sheet Music Society, Show
Business Weeklyís Best One-Man Show Award and numerous ASCAP scholarships.
He is currently
working on a solo recording, funded in part by the ASCAP Foundation
and produced by writing partner Richard Barone. The new CD features
Grammy award winner Randy Brecker on trumpet and flugelhorn.
