Nikka Graff Lanzarone Brings KEEP ME POSTED to Joe's Pub Tonight

A lifelong obsession with concert films and rock documentaries has left Nikka Graff Lanzarone (Chicago, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) with this nagging thought: If you had cameras following you while you made a record, what would you say to them?

Using the music she loves the most, from Talking Heads and The Velvet Underground to Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan, and Wilco, Nikka makes her Joe's Pub debut by attempting to figure out which life story to tell when there are six very different versions, all of them (somewhat) true.

"Keep Me Posted (a live rock documentary)" happens at Joe's Pub tonight, August 22 at 9:30pm. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.joespub.com or by calling 212-967-7555.

Written by Nikka Graff Lanzarone and Tim Drucker Music Direction and Arrangements by Jasper Grant Directed by Tim Drucker.

Jasper Grant almost had his music career cut short when his third grade music teacher, Miss Gladdin, mistakenly identified him as being "tone deaf".

Favorite regional credits include: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, The Wiz (La Jolla Playhouse) Saved! (Kansas City Rep) A Chorus Line (San Diego Civic Light Opera) The Music Man (Starlight Theatre) The Wizard Of Oz (Theatre Of The Stars). Jasper thanks Mike Norman, his first piano teacher, who really didn't believe Miss Gladdin anyway.
