Jersey Boys' Michael Longoria Performs Downtown, April 24

Michael Longoria, currently on Broadway in Jersey Boys, will perform a set of his original songs at CB's Gallery (313 Bowery at the Corner of Bleeker St.) on Monday, April 24th at 8 PM.

Longoria is a new singer-songwriter on the rise; Under 1000 Shades of Blue is his debut album. Currently in the cast of Broadway's Jersey Boys, Longoria plays a 17-year old Joe Pesci. He also plays his original music on his off nights around the city. "Writing from personal stories, his songs tell intimate tales of life through complex lyrics. His music inspires audiences to think beyond the catchy melodies he creates with his unique, soulful tenor. Michael's music is an original fusion of pop, folk and soul," state notes on the album.

Jersey Boys, the musical story of the Four Seasons, is currently a hit at the August Wilson Theatre, where the show opened on November 6th 2005. It stars Christian Hoff as Tommy DeVito, Daniel Reichard as Bob Gaudio, J. Robert Spencer as Nick Massi and John Lloyd Young as Frankie Valli, and is directed by Des MacAnuff.
