Tonight, Celebrate Brooklyn opens its 31st season with David Byrne.
This is earlier than in the past, and Celebrate Brooklyn will take next
week off. But this is a world class event for an extremely reasonable
price at the Prospect Park Bandshell.
The show is not only music but dance as well. The performers are:
David Byrne: Voice/guitar
Mark Degli Antoni: Keys
Paul Frazier: Bass
Mauro Refosco: Percussion
Graham Hawthorne: Drums
BG VOX
Kaïssa
Redray Frazier
Jenni Muldaur
DANCERS
Lily Baldwin
Natalie Kuhn
Steven Reker
I've taken a look at the set lists from a few of David's shows last
week and I see that there has been a nice mix of songs from David's
recent album with Eno, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today and
favorites from The Talking Heads as well. There's even a chance that a
song from David's first collaboration with Eno, My Life in the Bush of
Ghosts will show up. But as they say, past performance is no guarantee
of future results, so we'll see what David and company have up their
sleeves for Brooklyn.
David Byrne, Celebrate Brooklyn, Prospect Park Bandshell, gates open
6:30, show at 8:00pm; Note: Enter 8th Avenue and 11th Street.
