The Music of Ben Clark Comes to The Green Room 42
By: Stephi Wild Jul. 17, 2019
Ben Clark is still a largely unknown composer, unless you've heard his unforgettable music. A new voice in American musical theatre, for the past decade Clark has contributed music and lyrics for three musicals: The Circus in Winter, Skin and Bones, and the very recent Bruno and the Gospel of Infinity. Composing on guitar, drawing influence from artists like Jeff Buckley, Dave Matthews, and Martin Sexton, Clark's writing style is a story-driven blend of folk, Americana, and rock. A new voice with traditional roots needs a venue to match, and there is no better place to make his New York City debut than The Green Room 42.
The evening will feature:
- Dee Roscioli
- Jarrod Spector
- Corey Mach
- Micaela Diamond
- Teal Wicks
- Lora Lee Gayer
- Victoria Huston-Elem
- Jim Hogan
- Joseph Cook
- Sarah Anne Martinez
