) on Thursday, April 5th at 7:00 pm. Dan's first- rate band includes
some of the most sought-after musicians in New York. They are Kirk
Driscoll on drums, Steve Lucas on bass, Lily White on sax, vocals
and keys, and Dave Phelps on guitar and vocals.
The set will highlight new material Dan has written,
including "Takin' It Back (Give 'Em What You Got)" which challenges
the message of violence toward gay men advocated in the lyrics of
reggae performer Beenie Man. The set will also include a few familiar
favorites from Dan's first CD, Dan Manjovi.
Since the November 2005 release of Manjovi's solo
CD, Dan Manjovi, Manjovi has been highly visible. Industry buzz
about the CD won Dan a highly coveted slot at the 2006 Tribeca Film
Festival's ASCAP Music Lounge where he appeared along with John
Mayer, Nellie McKay, and Elvis Costello at The Canal Room. In June
2006 Dan and his band played a thrilling concert to a packed house
at New York's premiere music spot The Cutting Room.
The summer of 2006 found Manjovi playing a host of
outdoor festival shows including a memorable week of daytime solo
piano concerts at New York's Byrant Park. In the fall of 2006 Dan
appeared in the New York premier of The End, a new musical by George
Furth (Company, Merrily We Roll Along) and Doug Katsaros (Alter
Boyz). In November of 2006, Dan backed singers Donna Summer and
Grace Hightower De Niro at a special benefit show at The Beacon
Theater.
There is a $8.00 music charge.
