Blake Pfeil Album Release Party Rescheduled for Rockwood Music Hall

Concluding the sold-out Manhattan-based concert series The Papering Sessions, a successful digital album release, and the launch of the online docu-series Off the Wall, the much-anticipated album release party for Blake Pfeil's debut album Wallpaper has been rescheduled following Winter Storm Juno's cancellation at Dixon Place and will instead paper the walls of Rockwood Music Hall on Manhattan's Lower East Side on Sunday, February 15 at 9:00 PM.

The evening will feature of an acoustic set of Mr. Pfeil's songs from Wallpaper on Rockwood's Stage 2, followed by a screening of episodes from Off the Wall on Stage 3. Off the Wall is the Roo McGoo-produced docu-series that chronicles the making of Wallpaper.

Wallpaper is the freshman effort from folk/pop, NYC-based singer-songwriter Blake Pfeil. After a wildly successful crowd-funding campaign, Wallpaper was recorded at DeGraw Sound in Brooklyn, NY. It serves as a musical travelogue to Mr. Pfeil's first year of sobriety. Wallpaper saw its worldwide release on November 11, 2014 and is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and several other online music retailers. Its companion online docu-series, Off the Wall, was produced by Roo McGoo and debuted in November on YouTube. Through a theatrical kaleidoscope, Mr. Pfeil's unique sound hovers the fence between pop and folk, and it balances a razor-sharp, rhythm-based sound (that has been compared to the likes of Ben Folds, Jamie Cullum, and Bruce Hornsby) with lyrics that explore a poignant charm, often compared to the storytelling focus of Joni Mitchell and Don Henley and the wit and depth of Sara Bareilles and David Bowie.

After a sold-out 2013 NYC debut at Joe's Pub (Blake Pfeil is in Love with a Girl Named... Irene,) Blake's music has since been featured in larger venues like the Highline Ballroom and Rockwood Music Hall, as well as on the club scene, including at his home base The Bitter End, where his mash-up of his song "Chomp" with Rihanna's/Calvin Harris' "We Found Love" was featured as one of Playbill's "Unforgettable Theatre Experiences of 2014." Alongside two-time Tony nominee Robin De Jesus, Blake shot a video for his song "Queen," which was featured as part of GLAAD's Gay Pride celebrations in 2013. Blake's musical The Year of the Scorpion is currently in development and saw its premiere reading with the Freight Project last summer at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, NY.

The album release party will be produced by Sara Deviney and Rockwood Music Hall, New York's premiere indie concert venue, and it is free to the general public. Space is limited, so an early arrival is recommended. http://www.rockwoodmusichall.com
