DREW GASPARINI LIVE, featuring opening act Zack Zadek, will play The Marlin Room at WEBSTER HALL on Monday, September 28th (6pm doors, 7:30pm show). In the video, Drew gives us a special preview of the concert with his sisters, Kasie and Chloe (also performing in the show). Watch as they perform an unbelievable cover of "Lean On" by Major Lazer.

Drew Gasparini's gift lies in crafting lyrics that tell a story and make you feel something, and setting them to irresistible grooves that make you want to get up and dance. He is known here in NY as an award-winning musical theatre composer, and one of a handful of young artists forging a new sound for the stage in the cross-section between theatre and pop. But Drew began his career as a touring singer/songwriter, playing up and down the west coast with acts such as Jason Mraz, Third Eye Blind, and the Plain White T's. On September 28th, Drew will put aside his theatre alter ego to mark the re-introduction and east coast debut of Drew Gasparini the solo artist: a gifted songwriter, an exciting performer, and a man who loves to throw a great party.

Drew has released three albums: "Small Thoughts (EP)", 2005; "Overboard (EP)", 2008; and "Drew Gasparini Band", a full-length album released independently in 2012. His fourth album, released by Broadway Records in 2013, showcased his signature hybrid of pop and musical theatre. Titled "I Could Use A Drink: The Songs of Drew Gasparini", it features vocals from some of Broadway's hottest young stars and spent 5 weeks on the top 100 iTunes charts. Drew is signed with Razor & Tie/Sh-K-Boom Publishing and is currently working on his fifth album, which will feature his latest single, "Kiss Me".

Over the past decade Drew has grown tremendously as an artist, writing songs with increased maturity, poignancy, and playfulness, and hooks that just keep getting better and better. This show is meant to commemorate and celebrate a new stage in that evolution.

Drew will be joined on stage by Keith White (Jersey Boys) and Michelle Nikoomanesh, plus special guest appearances by Drew's sisters Kasie and Chloe Gasparini, and The (M)orons-Broadway's Alex Brightman (School of Rock), F. Michael Haynie (Wicked), and Andrew Kober (Les Miserables).

DREW GASPARINI LIVE will play The Marlin Room at WEBSTER HALL (125 East 11th Street) on September 28th, 2015 (6pm doors, 7:30pm show). Tickets cost $22.50 and are available for purchase at www.websterhall.com.
