NYC: DANCING WITH DEATH - THOMAS HONECK
The award winning Entertainer of Himself, Thomas Honeck, returns to the stage at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) for his 3rd solo show after a seven year hiatus on Wednesday, May 27th at 7:00 pm.

When not on the stage, he has spent the last 17 years studying with Shamans from around the world. Despite all the cultural differences, what he resoundingly learned was that to truly celebrate life, you must fully embrace death. A self-proclaimed "Dark Humorist", Honeck's "Dancing with Death" carefully weaves crafted stories into songs to provide a thought provoking, but comic look at life through the eyes of death. It is a ruminating rumba on our relationship with Death and how her choreography can influence life, featuring songs by Peter Gabriel, Laura Nyro, Chris De Burgh and Mary Chapin-Carpenter. The dance card will be one of Music, Merriment and Madness - well, just a touch. Directed by his creative partner, Lisa Moss, the same team that produced the critically acclaimed "Social Intercourse" and "Sing Me A Story." Thomas and Lisa were both recently honored with a 2014 Bistro Award for being a highly innovative and creative team. Musical Direction by Andrew Sotomayor, with Jordan Jancz on cello.

NYC: JOE'S PUB PRESENTS STEPHEN KELLOGG
Thirty-six years old Stephen Kellogg performs at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Wednesday, May 27th at 9:30 pm. Kellogg is from Northampton, MA but currently lives in Southern Connecticut. He has spent the better part of the last ten years on the road or in the studio,. His music has been described as Americana, Country-Rock, Folk, Singer/ Songwriter, and, somehow, pop. He calls it 'American-rock n' roll'. It's a product of Kellogg's father's record collection, from Jim Croce and Cat Stevens to Eagles and The Band. Somewhere along the way, Stephen fell in love with showmanship and acts that put on great concerts. Sometimes that meant Van Halen, other times it meant the Grateful Dead, and most recently it's probably more to do with John Prine. For what it's worth, Tom Petty is his favorite artist. There is a $25 cover.
