NYC: THE CUTTING ROOM PRESENTS MARTY BALIN

Michelangelo claimed that he did not create a sculpture. Rather, the form was contained within the block of marble; he merely removed the excess, revealing the work of art. Marty Balin (Founding member of Jefferson Airplane) feels the same way. "The projects do themselves; the music comes through me." he says. Marty will be performing on at the CUTTING ROOM (44 East 32nd Street, NYC - 212-691-1900) on Saturday, April 4th at 7:30 pm. The same vision Marty had when he launched the Jefferson Airplane is present today. In fact, nearly everything he has worked on over the years has been fueled with his vision of art and music as vehicles for expressing a positive message. Born Martyn Jerel Buchwald in Cincinnati, Ohio, on January 30, 1942, Marty was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area by parents Joe and Jean Buchwald. Joe became an important part in the 60s San Francisco music scene. As a lithographer, he was responsible for printing more than 200 different posters for shows at famous clubs like the Matrix, the Fillmore and Avalon Ballrooms. Jean started and kept the Jefferson Airplane scrap books featuring many of the photos and newspaper clippings that are exclusive to this site. Growing up, Marty was always involved in art, music and dance. He attended San Francisco State University; initially pursuing a career as a painter. After appearing in a production of West Side Story, Balin turned to music with the encouragement of his good friend Ralph's brother, Johnny Mathis. In 1962 Marty renamed himself Marty Balin and began recording with Challenge Records, releasing the singles "Nobody But You" and "I Specialize in Love". Balin was the lead for the folk music quartet called The Town Criers, followed by a brief stint with the Gateway Singers in 1965. Ultimately Marty wanted to electrify the folk sound. Club owners refused to book such a "country" act, so he decided to open his oen club. Balin opened the Matrix night club on August 13th 1965 featuring his new band Jefferson Airplane. The Grateful Dead, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Big Brother and The holding Company and Steve Miller are but a few other iconic Rock bands who performed at the Matrix. The Jefferson Airplane, initially a folk-rock venture, came to epitomize the psychedelic scene, scoring a gold record with their 1967 second album, Surrealistic Pillow. Balin's soulful tenor proved a pivotal element of their sound. He also wrote key compositions including "It's No Secret" "Today," "Comin' Back To Me" "Plastic Fantastic Lover" "Share a Little Joke," and "Volunteers." 2010 came with a rockin' start with the recording of the 2011 release album, The Witcher. Marty continues to tour around the world performing his classic hits as well as his new songs, soon to be released on his latest album. Marty lives for the powerful exchange of energy between himself and his audience. There is a $35 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.

NYC: CUSH JUMBO - JOSEPHINE AND I AT JOE'S PUB

Following a critically acclaimed run at London's Bush Theatre, Olivier nominated actress and writer Cush Jumbo (The River, Julius Caesar, "Getting On") brings her one-woman show 'Josephine And I' to JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555), running through April 5th at 7:00 pm, with an additional matinee show on Saturday, April 5th at 3:00 pm. Born into poverty in the slums of St. Louis, Josephine Baker became one of the most famous and groundbreaking stars of the 20th century. The first African-American performer to rise to international prominence, she was a French Resistance spy and civil rights activist who was married twice by age 16 and served as muse to Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, who called her "the most sensational woman anyone ever saw." Now, nearly forty years after her death, Baker's life inspires a young woman to face up to the sacrifices required to follow one's dreams. Featuring swinging jazz and ragtime rhythms, this theatrical event directed by Tony nominee Phyllida Lloyd (Julius Caesar, Mary Stuart, The Iron Lady, Mamma Mia!) interweaves a modern day story of an ambitious young woman with the fascinating life of the peerless, fearless Josephine Baker. Tickets are $50. There is no food or drink minimum for this show.

NYC: NOCHE FLAMENCA AT JOE'S PUB

JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) presents a special run of shows by the dazzling "Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca," on Saturday & Sunday, April 4th & 5th at 9:30 pm; and Monday through Friday, April 6th through 10th at 7:30 & 9:30 pm. Noche Flamenca, whose vitality, energy and passion have won accolades around the world will continue the legacy that they have built at their New York City home. Noche Flamenca maintains the essence, purity and integrity of one of the world's most complex and mysterious art forms, creating powerful performances that radiate off the intimate Joe's Pub stage. The company was founded in 1993 by artistic director Martin Santangelo and his Bessie award-winning wife Soledad Barrio. Recognized as Spain's leading flamenco touring company, Noche has been hailed for its authentic performances of one of the world's most complex and mysterious art forms - without the use of tricks or gimmicks.
