FEATURING
CHRIS RAEL'S ARABY
Tuesday, July 6 at 7:00 PM
Church of Betty composer Chris Rael’s ARABY re-tells the short stories of James Joyce’s ’Dubliners’ in one story-song each. This startlingly original musical was staged as a work-in-progress at Dixon Place last spring, to great acclaim. Back Stage called it "the kind of musical bliss that is currently missing on Broadway. Araby manages to hit high note after high note, particularly on the standout song ’Grace’. As the singers’s harmonies rise above the swooning orchestration, the song - and the show - lives up to the name." Featuring singers Nancy Magarill and Carlos Ponton, guitarist Marlon Cherry, violinist Rima Fand, violist Pinky Weitzman, cellist Maria Jeffers, bassist Reuben Radding, drummer Brian Geltner, and the composer.  $14

The band includes Brian Glassman-bass, Danny Mallon-drums, and Joe Ravo-guitar.  Recording credits include five award-winning songs on Johnny’s debut album “Box Of Photographs, “Bound Together” including the Dad’s and Grads tribute song The Best Of You In Me and “Let’s Make a Date” featuring a swing duet with Liza Minnelli.  $20

CHELSEA MADCHEN: EIN DEUTSCHER EVENING MIT NICO feat TAMMY FAYE STARLITE
Friday, July 9 at 9:30 PM
Inspired by the economic depression, the downtown provacatuese, Tammy Faye Starlite, will portray the sublimely Teutonic, glamorously decadent Velvet Underground chanteuse, Nico. (nee Christa Paffgen) in a dark, Weimar-cum Warhol Kabaret Konzert, and will sing some of Nico's most beloved lieder, such as "Femme Fatale," All Tomorrow's Parties," "I'll Be Your Mirror" as well as Nico's classic covers of such classic tunes as David Bowie's "Heroes, Rogers and Hart's "My Funny Valentine, "Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine," The Doors' "The End, and she'll finish with a rousing finale of "Deutschland Uber Alles" (in German, of course). It will be a crystalline multi-media nacht to remember, with dreamlike reminiscences about Lou Reed (and Jews in general), Andy Warhol and Alain Delon. Nico was, and remains, a heroin(e) and emblem for these dark days of civil unrest and our inherent fascination with the sybaritic self-destruction and the willful deconstruction of beauty.

CHRISTOPHER ROZZI’S OUTRE ISLAND WITH BALTHROP, ALABAMA
Sunday, July 11 at 7:00 PM
The absurd comic sensibility of Christopher Rozzi reigns supreme over this bizarre microcosmic mash-up of Monty Python, Prairie Home Companion, and The Simpsons, backed by Brooklyn Indie band turned deep southern town Balthrop, Alabama.You may have heard that the diminutive nation of Outré Island has been trying to build a bridge to the shores of America for some time. But with oil in the Gulf (sigh), designers are moving the bridge inland to the small town of Balthrop, Alabama for one night only! Journey with us to Outré Island and experience firsthand its rich culture, ridiculous history and colorful citizens! Perhaps you've even met some of the familiar neighborhood characters? Fluff? Shakespeare?  Robin Merry? With musical accompaniment by Balthrop, Alabama--the Brooklyn Indie band that became a small town--Chris Rozzi's one man show is coming to town! There'll be amazing characters, laughs a-plenty, rocking music and live drawing on the big screen by Toxey Goodwater (Joe's Pub archival artist and Balthrop, Alabama's town-drawer, Michael Arthur).  $12 in advance, $15 at the door

THE FREAKERS BALL
Sunday, July 11 at 9:30 PM
The Freakers Ball is a Shel Silverstein cover band, dedicated to showing that he was much more than a writer and illustrator of incredible children's books. He also wrote some kickass songs filled with lullabies, legends, and lies. Formed where the sidewalk ends and before the street begins, The Freakers Ball is the quintessential  Shel Silverstein tribute band. Equipped with flight goggles and cowbell, The Freakers unshell Silverstein classics like "Cover Of The Rolling Stone"  and "A Boy Named Sue" as well as lesser-known hits such as "I Got Stoned And I Missed It" and "I Saw Polly In A Porny."
