Lena Hall and The Deafening to Join Sky-Pony at Broadway the Hardway's Spring Break Festival, 5/21

Jacob Langfelder presents Broadway the Hardway's Spring Break Festival featuring SKY-PONY with Special Guest Grace McLean, THE DEAFENING, and BRENDAN MACLEAN with Emmy Winner Lance Horne. The concert will be presented at 42West. The concert takes place Thursday, May 21st, 2015 beginning at 7pm and will feature original video graphics mapped on New York City's largest indoor LED wall. 42West is located at 514 West 42nd Street. Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased at www.42WestNY.com/events.

Sky-Pony is led by singer/actress Lauren Worsham (Tony nominee and Drama Desk award winner for Broadway's Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder) along with her husband, Obie-winning songwriter Kyle Jarrow. The Brooklyn-based band serves up lush, danceable indie-pop with a healthy dose of theatrics -- incorporating costumes, choreography, and projections into their high-energy live shows. Rock concert meets performance art meets burlesque, you might say. More info at www.sky-pony.com.

For the May 21 show, Sky-Pony will be proud to welcome special guest Grace McLean (gracemclean.com).

With Lena Hall wailing her little black heart out, Burt Rock on Lead guitar, Dylan Doyle on Rhythm guitar, Tommy Mokas on Bass, and Mick Harrison whipping back the skins, the Deafening are a ferocious five piece born of the city's eternal energy. A raw tribute to it's defiant crush. With blues beating back and rough punk ethos, The Deafening are the natural heirs to the Bowery's big bad seventies sound. The band expertly fuses the gritty glam of the early seventies with the big bragging attitude of eighties' sleaze rock and tops it off with the merrily deviant theatrical horror of groups like The Misfits and Alice Cooper. This five piece seeks to return to rock it's dirty sexy heart.

Australia's Brendan Maclean is a performer on a grand scale: be it his work in The Great Gatsby, his award winning original pop, or his uncanny ability to find himself onstage alongside the likes of Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry or Solange Knowles. It is his electric live performance that has seen him invited to take the spotlight across Italy, Paris and London - and now he returns to New York to introduce a collection of high energy, irony-free, joyous original material recorded across America in 2014. Brendan Maclean appears courtesy of the Universal Music Group.

Created by Jacob Langfelder and Burt Rock, the Broadway The Hardway series has repeatedly been a Time Out NY Critic's pick. Their production of Purple Rain was listed as one of Playbill.com's "most unforgettable theatrical experiences of 2014." Having featured several Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Award winners, the series continues to play host to Broadway's hard driven musical talent.

Tickets for the show begin at $20 for General Admission and Reserved Seats are $35. To purchase tickets or for more information about the evening, visit www.42WestNY.com/events.
