Michael Longoria, currently on Broadway in Jersey Boys, will perform a set of his original music tonight, January 16th, at 8pm at CB's Gallery (313 Bowery at the corner of Bleeker).
Prior to Jersey Boys, Longoria appeared on Broadway as a swing in Hairspray.
A graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, he has been a musician as
well as an actor since 2003. He has performed in European tours of A Chorus Line(as Paul) and West Side Story (as Baby John). He recently released Under 1000 Shades of Blue, his solo CD; it is available from CDBaby.com. "Writing from the heart of personal stories, his songs tell intimate
tales of life through complex lyrics. His music inspires audiences to
think beyond the catchy melodies he creates with his unique, soulful
tenor. From the journal entry to the New York City music scene, Michael
brings his new style of vocal flexibility and control in an all new
original fusion of Pop, Folk, and Soul," states a description of the CD.
