Show Description

Newly Blacklisted writer Joe Iconis returns to the Joe's Pub bringing with him his merry band of musical theater punks. THE JOE ICONIS ROCK AND ROLL JAMBOREE is a laid-back evening of Iconis tunes, featuring cuts from Joe's recently-orphaned musical "The Black Suits," and a bunch of new songs. Songs of hate and hope, suburbia and pornography, cougars and jailbait, dead people and livin' things and more sing-alongs than you can shake a glass of whiskey at. Some special guests will join Joe for this, the second leg of his legendary "Mule Revolution " Tour 2008. So come on down to the Jamboree- it's loud, soft, sweet, nasty, and, above all else, bloody as hell.     

Iconis is the recipient of a 2007 Ed Kleban Award, a 2006 Jonathan Larson Award, and is the Composer-In-Residence at Ars Nova.  Joe is the author of the garage-band rock musical, "The Black Suits" (book co-written with Robert Maddock), "The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks" (for TheatreWorksUSA, directed by John Simpkins), and "THINGS TO RUIN: The Songs of Joe Iconis" (Joe's Pub, Ars Nova, directed by John Simpkins.)  Joe's talents were also recently featured in the 24 Hour Musicals at Joe's Pub in January.
