Rock icon Buster Poindexter returns to Café Carlyle, April 2-13. As a founding member of the New York Dolls and in a prolific solo career, David Johansen has been a seminal force in rock and roll, influencing countless singers and bands to this day. Buster Poindexter, Johansen's celebrated alter ego showcases his elegant crooning through R&B ballads. As Poindexter, his previous engagements have been sellouts and he has become one of the most revered artists to grace Café Carlyle.
Stephen Holden of The New York Times: "Buster Poindexter aims dead center at a novelty tradition that traverses musical styles and eras and embraces blues, jazz, doo-wop, rumba and calypso. He rang the bell every time." Additionally, TheaterMania called Buster Poindexter "one the of the most satisfying musical acts you're likely to encounter in New York." The Hollywood Reporter wrote, Johansen "seems to be born for a room as intimate as this one [Café Carlyle]."
