David Yazbek

Artist Description

"David Yazbek is a daredevil juggler catching spiked pins in the traveling carnival of his imagination."
-Stephen Holden, New York Times.

"One of the most underated singer/songwriters in the business. Yazbek is an original."
-New York Post

"a payload of witty insights and cutting observations of the sort in which Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello used to specialize."
-Boston Sunday Herald

"The amazing bastard! He's my hero. I wish I'd written all his songs!"
-Andy Partridge of XTC

Coming off a sold-out Lincoln Center performance, and rave reviews in a February issue of The New York Times, David Yazbek and His Warmest Regards return to a more intimate setting to support their new album EVIL MONKEY MAN. Don't miss this rare appearance by one of the most strangely talented musicians around.  If you only know Yazbek from his hit Broadway shows The Full Monty and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, be prepared for a mind-blowing experience, in fact,  you'd better wear a helmet.  Yazbek's incendiary piano-playing and singing have earned him a slavish cult-following. 

His latest band is a gathering of some of the best players in the city.
