GTG Presents GrooveLily's Milburn & Vigoda 6/27 and more

Genesius Theatre Group (GTG) will present Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda of the band GrooveLily for a one night only musical road trip at the Zipper Factory Theatre (336 W. 37th St.) on June 27th at 7:30 PM.

New York City's GrooveLily "inhabits that contemporary space where creative musicians ignore the boundaries laid down by words like rock, folk, jazz, and pop. Intelligent original songs with no shortage of wit connect lush musical textures and soaring vocals with the blazing six-string electric violin of Valerie Vigoda and the lightning-fingered piano of Brendan Milburn. With backgrounds in classical music, musical theater, jazz, and rock, the members of GrooveLily are making a new music that's all their own," state press materials. GrooveLily's previous musicals include Striking 12, and Sleeping Beauty Wakes, a collaboration with Deaf West Theatre that played the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles earlier this year.  Other credits include Paper Mill Playhouse's A Midsummer Night's Dream, for which they provided the score.

Audiences will be invited to stay after the concert to enjoy a drink with the band.
