Rob Kendt & Al Rose Perform 'Storytellers & Songsmiths' August 2 in Brooklyn

This was supposed to be singer/songwriter Rob Kendt's last gig before becoming a first-time father. His son Oliver had other ideas--he's a healthy preemie at St. Vincent's NICU, and may even be out in time to catch Dad's show. Kendt will perform songs critics have called "lovely works of literature, wonderfully constructed short stories, the likes of which you would expect to find in The New Yorker," including a suite from his upcoming musical about Ed Wood. He will be joined by violinist Daniele Sahr, bassist Beth Price, and percussionist Rich Stein.

Sharing the bill is Chicago bard Al Rose, about whom Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune raved, "With a mixture of irreverence and soul, this veteran singer-songwriter just gets better, funnier and more plaintively incisive with each release. His latest, 'My First Posthumous Release', mixes blues, country and rock influences with off-hand ease, while crafting indelible imagery." For his New York debut, Rose will be joined by violinist Zach Brock.

Sunday, August 2nd

Doors open at 7 pm; show starts at 8 pm.
