Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records Presents Desmon & Feichtner At Joe's Pub 3/22

Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records presents the songwriting team of Jeremy Desmon and Vadim Feichtner in an evening of Desmon & Feichtner Continue To Disappoint Their Parents, at Joe's Pub on Monday, March 22 at 9:30p.m., a raucous concert brimming with original songs of love and dysfunction. Desmon & Feichtner do this instead of getting "real jobs" that would surely make their Mom's proud.

Joining them are a ridiculously talented line-up of Broadway performers including Jesse Tyler Ferguson (TV's Modern Family,...Spelling Bee), Leslie Kritzer (Sondheim on Sondheim, A Catered Affair, Legally Blonde), Christiane Noll (Ragtime, Jekyll & Hyde), Jamie LaVerdiere (The Producers), Nick Blaemire (Cry-Baby), Charlie Brady (South Pacific), Dana Steingold (George Street Playhouse's Calvin Berger and upcoming Godspell), Jared Gertner (...Spelling Bee, Ordinary Days), Demond Green (The Toxic Avenger), Nathan Tysen (lyricist of The Burnt Part Boys), Eric Petersen (Shrek), and James Monroe Iglehart (Memphis).

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll trek below 14th Street . As if that's not enough, they'll be backed by downtown's swarthiest house band, The Red-Hot Latinos (Danny Stone, Joe Brent, Jay Mack and Matt Hinkley). The evening is produced by Noah Cornman and Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records, and is directed by Ben Rimalower..

Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 at the door) and can be purchased at www.joespub.com.

Jeremy Desmon received the prestigious Edward Kleban Award for Musical Theatre Bookwriting as well as a Jonathan Larson Fellowship from the Dramatists Guild for his work as a lyricist.

He is also playwright of the new comedy 7½ Wondrous Act(s) of True Love. In addition, Jeremy's been entrusted with putting words (and lyrics) into the high-pitched voices of Elmo, Mickey Mouse, Curious George and countless other animated and/or furry characters, writing live stage shows for audiences around the world. None, so far, have been on ice. Jeremy is a graduate of Stanford University (BA) and NYU's Musical Theatre Writing Program at Tisch School of the Arts (MFA). Much to his mother's dismay, Jeremy does not in fact have his MBA. Yet.
