I know that Tuesday was not a day to venture outdoors, but today is supposed to be a bit better and tonight you’ll find James Maddock playing a full band show at Carl Schurz Park on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. James just released an excellent new album, Wake Up and Dream, three weeks ago (which I previously reviewed here). I’d really recommend that you brave the residual heat and humidity to see James and his band, as their shows are not only excellent musically, they are just plain fun. Joining James will be his band, Oli Rockberger (piano), John Shannon (guitar), Drew Mortali (bass), Aaron Comess (drums) and Leslie Mendelson (vocals and tambourine). Limited seating is available.
James Maddock, Carl Schurz Park, 86th Street and East End Avenue (4, 5 or 6 Trains to 86th Street, Transfer to M86 bus to York Avenue), show at the top of the East 86th Street stairs, on the John Finley Walk, 7pm, Free (In the event of the threat of rain, call 212 459-4455 for an update on the performance at 1pm)
