How You Know Him: Spring Awakening, Hair, What's It All About?
After bringing his groundbreaking arrangements of the Bacharach catalogue to Joe's Pub, Kyle Riabko returns for the debut of his Richard Rodgers Reimagined concert and album launch.

Backed by his band, Riabko will bring his unique pop/rock sensibility to the classics Rodgers wrote with lyricists Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II, performing them as they've never been heard before. Riabko turns his attention to such Rodgers compositions as "Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' "; "The Lady Is A Tramp"; "My Favorite Things"; "Where Or When"; "Some Enchanted Evening"; "I Have Dreamed"; and "My Funny Valentine", among others.
