Doveman adds more shows at LPR (where Jesse Harris also has a guest-filled residency), plays w/ Justin Bond tonight
Justin Bond & Doveman @ LPR (more by Dominick Matrangelo)
“It looks like another one of the city’s shadowy artistic demoiselles is about to take a turn in the limelight. If anyone is the talk of New York City at the moment it is Justin Bond. A tall, blond, transgender cabaret signer, Bond worked his way up through the San Francisco and New York performance undergrounds as part of a duo lounge act called Kiki and Herb. The act, which centered around Bond’s character Kiki, an aging, bitter, alcoholic singer who was as poignant, raucous and funny as she was tragic, developed a cult and critical following which led them to Carnegie Hall and a stint on Broadway, earning Bond a Tony nomination. Now he has a much-awaited debut album [out now], and he’ll be performing his new solo show at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate.” [Another]
Justin Bond will take on Bowery Ballroom TONIGHT to celebrate Dendrophile, his new LP out NOW. Tickets are still available. After the show, keep the good times rollin’ at Woahmone at Von, the official afterparty.
Support at Bowery will come from album contributor Doveman, who has another THREE ‘salon’ dates coming at Le Poisson Rouge as part of the ongoing Burgundy Stain Sessions that saw him teaming with names like Sam Amidon, Glen Hansard, Norah Jones, Tegan & Sara, St Vincent, Justin Bond, and others in previous sessions. No word on the guests at these shows yet, but tickets are available for shows on April 23rd, May 26th and June 24th.
Doveman will also be at LPR on April 26th, but as one of the “friends” listed for one of the nights of the Jesse Harris & Friends: “Through the Night” Series at the venue. On that night, the “Through The Night Band, a four-piece ensemble combining rock/brazilian/folk/jazz” will play the songs of Jesse Harris alongside Bill Dobrow, Guilherme Monteiro, Mauro Refosco, and Sasha Dobson. Tickets are on sale. The “Through The Night” series continues weekly in April, and includes a show TONIGHT with The Cosmo Band featuring Larry Goldings, Anthony Wilson, Tony Scherr, and others (tickets). Other upcoming dates include April 12 with The Through The Night Band featuring Bill Dobrow and special guests Norah Jones (his Grammy friend) and Vinicius Cantuária among others; and April 19th with The Cosmo Band featuring Kenny Wollesen, Eivind Opsvik, and special guests Tony Scherr and Antonio Villeroy among others.
