Swedish Grammy-winning pop band Brainpool (Christoffer Lundquist, David Birde, Jens Jansson) are in New York City for a week-long development workshop of their rock opera JUNK, following two sold-out concerts of songs from the show (Pieces of JUNK) performed by a cast of Broadway performers at Joe's Pub earlier this year.

This Tuesday, January 29th, Broadway Sessions will celebrate the birthday of theatrical manager Michael Einfeld with a special concert featuring performances from his clients and friends.
