CANADA'S BIRTHDAY BASH This Wednesday
Celebrate Canada's 142nd birthday with this all-star celebration of the Great Canadian Songbook, produced and emcee'd by Jeff Breithaupt and featuring a stellar international line-up singing the greatest hits of our neighbors to the north.
Join Canadian legend Carole Pope, BETTY's Alyson Palmer and Tony Salvatore, the East Village Opera Company's Tyley Ross, jazz great Carolyn Leonhart, singer-songwriter Greg Naughton, Irish rocker Joe Hurley, singer-songwriter Anthony Da Costa, a special duet from Amy Cervini and and Melissa Stylianou, Peter Kiesewalter and the all-star "Workin' for the Weekend House Band," and many more special guests as they lay down unforgettable versions of all your favorite Canuck anthems.
The staff at Joe’s is of a generation
that truly was raised on and with the music of Michael Jackson. Our
conversations today keep coming back to the first time that we heard Thriller,
the first time most of us saw an African American on MTV, the age old Bad vs.
Thriller debate, our moonwalk attempts… and we remember that we have all been
touched by the enormity of Michael Jackson’s talent. It is a loss
that is deeply felt today and will be for a long time to come but without
question his artistic influence will continue to inspire artists on our stage.
We send our condolences to his family and friends and mourn the loss of
one of our great talents.
