GUSTAFER YELLOWGOLD Comes to the Jewish Museum, 10/16

He's back! That little guy from the Sun is making plans to land in NYC for his only Manhattan show only this fall! Gustafer Yellowgold's ‘Stripe of the Sock' Fall Tour will come to The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Ave., NYC at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 16, for a multimedia celebration of autumn.

Groovy Gustafer Yellowgold is a small, yellow, cone-headed fellow, who came to Earth from the Sun and has a knack for finding himself neck-deep in absurd situations as he explores his new life in the Minnesota woods. Illustrator/songwriter/musicIan Morgan Taylor developed the "musical moving book" Gustafer Yellowgold experience as equal parts pop rock concert and animated storybook.

Gustafer loves the fall because it's the best season of the year for indulging in one of his favorite foods: pinecones! He likewise adores fall's crisp, cool weather, which is such a delight after the blazing heat of the Sun. Gustafer finds wearing glorious beards of autumn leaves to be just as much fun as his hobby of jumping on cake. Performing alongside a large screen displaying vividly colored animations with karaoke-style subtitles, Morgan Taylor and the splendid Yellowgold Band will celebrate autumn with Gustafer, playing an array of "Gustafer favorites" from all four Gustafer Yellowgold DVD/CD sets, including songs from this year's release, Gustafer Yellowgold's Infinity Sock.

Gustafer is not just for kids! Possessing an unusual crossover appeal, Gustafer Yellowgold's Show has performed as the support act for WILCO and The Polyphonic Spree, as well as headlining kids' venues all across the U.S., in London, and as far away as Seoul, Korea. Gustafer has also been seen off-Broadway in his own productions of Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Sensation and Gustafer Yellowgold's Infinity Sock.

Since his creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, praised by Newsweek as "full of great pop tunes and hand-drawn animation about a li'l fella from the sun." The Los Angeles Times enthused, "Taylor's whimsical, lightly psychedelic world forms an interesting bridge between adult and kids' music." The Washington Post declared, "He's a star on stage and screen! ... The mix of catchy tunes and offbeat stories has endeared Taylor, and Gustafer, to teenagers as well." The Chicago Tribune wrote, "Gustafer Yellowgold has made kids' music so cool that teenagers and ultra-hip bands such as Wilco want to get in on the act ... a shiny blend of pop art and pop tunes." New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor "Best Kids' Performer," calling Taylor "the most original performer on the family-music scene today."
