The Nick Hallett Songbook @ Joe's Pub NYC


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting




More than thrilled to roll out a collection of his original songs, "ubiquitous downtown music hero" (Counter Critic) Nick Hallett is joined by a cavalcade of the city's most vibrant creative forces for what promises to be a rarefied affair of signature melodies and clever lyrics, with a soupçon of revolution thrown in for necessity. More than a few songs from his band, Plantains, a mainstay at long-lost Fez Under Time Café, will be resurrected on March 1st at Joe's Pub!

Full band includes Mike Jackson on upright bass, David Justh, Zach Layton on banjo, and Alison Zlotow on violin, with Micah Young directing the ensemble from behind the keyboard.
