JERSEY BOYS star Joseph Leo Bwarie will release his second album 'The Good Stuff' on Nov. 10, 2015, BroadwayWorld has confirmed.
This will be Bwarie's second album following his first in 2010, when he teamed up with Billboard hit-man, arranger/producer Charles Calello, (renowned arranger for Sinatra, Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Laura Nyro and Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons) and began work on Nothin' But Love. Recorded in Miami at Criteria Recording Studios (The Hit Factory), Nothin' But Love was independently produced and features legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, world famous Brazilian percussionist Paulinho da Costa, and Calello conducting a 40-piece orchestra.
His second album redefines the American Standard with a modern big band sound.
"Creating The Good Stuff has been the most exciting time I have ever spent in the studio. We went in with the attitude of redefining what an American Standard could be. With Let's Stay Together we pay homage to the incredible Al Green classic but mix things up with an old-school, big band horn section and unexpected turns up until the very last note. The fun of recording my second album was giving each track something unique in the arc of the song - like a series of short stories that all fit together."
Currently, Bwarie is playing the coveted role of iconic, falsetto-singing Franki Valli in the Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical Jersey Boys - now celebrating its 10th anniversary on Broadway.
Other credits include stage work from Las Vegas to New Zealand and on-screen roles from television's Mama's Family to the 2010 star-studded feature film Valentine's Day. He has appeared in numerous films including The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement, The Addams Family, Raising Helen, Chronic Town and Race to Witch Mountain.
