Brad Williams possesses something that everyone can agree is funny: a disability. Williams is a dwarf. He has appeared on numerous TV shows including "Mind Of Mencia," "Live at Gotham," "The Tonight Show," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and "Pitboss." Williams has also performed for the troops all over the world (because soldiers think dwarfs are funny, too).

For more than two decades Jonatha Brooke has created music that combines poetic lyrics, complex harmonies and memorable melodies which have earned her devoted fans and journalistic raves. With ten solo releases (plus two from her duo The Story) to her credit, her most recent endeavor was writing and performing the one-woman musical "My Mother Has 4 Noses." The critically acclaimed project-which ran in NYC at The Duke on 42nd Street- documents the poignant journey of caring for her mother, who was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's-induced dementia, during the last two years of her life. The companion recording of the same name landed in the top 50 Albums of 2014 by ABC Entertainment. Brooke's newest album Midnight. Hallelujah. is now available.
Friday-Saturday, May 24-25

British-born rock star John Waite has been successfully writing, recording and performing some of the most listenable and enduring popular music for more than 35 years. Waite was bassist and lead vocalist for the Babys who took Top 20 chart positions with hits "Isn't it Time" from the band's sophomore LP, Broken Heart in 1977 and the monster ballad, "Every Time I Think of You" off 1978's Head First. But, it was the album's rhythmically aggressive and seductive title track where fans got their first glimpse of the authentic John Waite: a no-holds-barred rock n' roll performer devoted heart and soul to live performance and making sure every fan in the audience left the concert hall just as elated and exhausted as the band they'd paid to see. Although the Babys disbanded in 1988, a reunion with former Baby' bandmates - guitarist Neal Schon from Journey and drummer Deen Castronovo - resulted in the Waite-fronted supergroup, Bad English. Since Bad English also disbanded, Waite has pursued a solo career and produced a string of rock n' roll records. His most recent greatest hits album represents the artistic breadth of his entire career of more than 40 years in rock and roll.
City Winery also announces William Fitzsimmons opens for Joshua Radin Mar. 27-28.
