Yesterday evening, Clement took the stage of the Nederlander Theatre to join the cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET in the special encore. Cowboy Jack Clement is a legendary songwriter and record producer. On the date of the 1956 Million Dollar Quartet sessions at Sun Records, Jack was the engineer. Without Cowboy Jack, Presley, Cash, Lewis & Perkin's impromptu recording session would never have been documented on tape. Cowboy Jack has worked with such legends as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Ray Charles, Carl Perkins, Bobby Bare, Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves, Jerry Lee Lewis, Cliff Richard, Charley Pride, Tom Jones, Dickey Lee, Hank Snow, and Waylon Jennings.
Yesterday Lee Rocker, bassist and vocalist for the Grammy nominated band The Stray Cats performed "Rockabilly Boogie" in celebration of his final performance with the cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, the Broadway musical sensation.
Levi Kreis, who won a Tony Award for playing Jerry Lee Lewis in MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, visited Chicago, where he began the role and performed a concert on November 1. The night before the show, he played with the current Chicago MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET cast in a post-curtain call performance.
This morning, the cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a live performance of three songs on Don Imus' News Talk Radio special 'Kiss Me, I'm Imus' on 77 WABC and on FOX Business Network.
