Tarzan's Chester Gregory Performs 7/31 Concert

Singer/songwriter Chester Gregory--currently on Broadway in Tarzan--will perform R&B/soul hits from his upcoming album "High Love" at the Triad Theatre (158 W. 72nd St., between Broadway and Columbus) on Monday, July 31st at 9 PM.

"Chester Gregory is carving his own niche in the R&B male vocalist category. For his new CD titled 'High Love,' he has teamed with some of the newest and hottest producer's in the industry such as Dave Tozer (John Legend), David Cook ("American Idol" Tour) and Dave Liang (Carl Thomas)," according to press notes.

Gregory--who plays Terk on Broadway in Disney's Tarzan--had the opportunity of working first hand with Phil Collins, who wrote all the music for the show, including "Who Better Than Me", which Collins wrote especially for Chester just 2 weeks before Tarzan's world premiere.

Other credits include the 8 Tony Award-winning Broadway hit musical, Hairspray (where he was "Seaweed") and The Jackie Wilson Story, which ran in Chicago for three years and for which he received critical praise.

Gregory's band includes Dave Cook (music director/keys), Brian Cockerham (bass), Eliode Guillaume (lead guitar), and Leroy "Lefty" Thomson (drums).  Background singers at the concert will include Terita R. Redd (Hairspray), Anastacia "Stacey" McCleskey (Tarzan), and Rachel Stern (Tarzan).

His "High Love" single from the upcoming album will soon be release. It is currently available on iTunes.  Visit www.theatermania.com to order tickets for his concert.
