Due To Demand, HAIR Star Gavin Creel Adds Second Joe's Pub Show On 7/27

Tickets to two-time Tony Award nominee Gavin Creel Joe's Pub concert were sold out within one hour of going on sale. Creel announced today that a second show will be added.

In addition to his 9:30 performance, Creel will play a second show at 11:30 at Joe's Pub, July 27th, performing acoustic versions of songs from his debut pop album, GOODTIMENATION, and previewing songs from his forthcoming sophomore album, QUIET.

"I am overwhelmed by the response to the show. I am so happy that we could add this second show at Joe's. It's going to be a fun night," Creel commented on the demand for another show.

On GOODTIMENATION, Creel mixes his musical theater roots with a refreshing pop sensibility, a balance that he has worked hard to maintain. "Since I'm a fan of all different kinds of sounds and styles, I wanted to make a record that takes people on a varied musical journey," Creel says. The songs on the album certainly mark a personal journey for Creel, as he recounts moments of break-up ("Don't Break Your Heart"), confession ("For Nancy"), and bold New York City adventure ("Friday, Saturday, Sunday"). He also will be performing a few of his theater favorites.

Gavin Creel will be joined on the Joe's Pub stage by his co-writer/producer, Robbie Roth, and the concert promises to be a treat for Creel's diverse and fast-growing fan base. 

Tickets are $25 and will go on sale to the public this Thursday, July 9th. Tickets can be purchased at www.joespub.com or by calling (212) 967-7555.

Gavin Creel received a TONY nomination for Best Actor in a Musical for his portrayal as "Claude" in the hit musical HAIR as well as for his role as "Jimmy" in THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE. In addition to his success on Broadway, Creel has previously performed to sold-out crowds at Irving Plaza, Ars Nova, and Arlene's Grocery.

GOODTIMENATION is available on iTunes and through Gavin's web site www.gavincreel.com.
