What?
Duane Park moved? It's where the old Bowery Poetry Club used to be? Downtown? Amongst the people?
Hey errrybody...
I'm so pleased to announce that I'm coming back to
Duane Park. I just love the people there. If you haven't heard, Duane Park has moved across town to the Bowery (308 Bowery between Bleecker and Houston Streets to be exact). The new space is beyond luxurious. At some point, we'll discuss the staircase that unfolds onto the stage. If you've never caught my show at the former Duane Park, now is the time!! Tuesday night, 4/30 at 8PM. As usual, there is no admission charge. If you'd like to reserve a table and grab some food (which is superb, btw), just give them a call at (212) 732-5555 or you can email your reservation to
duanepark@earthlink.net.
Elliot Roth is back on the keys,
Shaleah Adkisson and
Amber Iman are singing backup,
Andrew Volkoff is directing. And I'm whipping up stories about where my sex life has mysteriously vanished to.
I can't wait to see you there!!!!
Here's the official press release for the show....

BIO
James Jackson, Jr.
was undergraduately reared by lesbians in the New England Berkshires after
artistically growing up in Boston under the soul-food tutelage of a deep
southern family. The shoes;
Birkenstocks. The music; Indigo,
Simone, Franklin & Difranconian.
The food; fattening. The
relationships; many, lost, and strong.
After being depostited in New York City over a decade ago,
the real work began. Dance belts,
regional stage yelts, demanding Brits, and a rather unfortunate stop in
Branson, Missouri lead to his discovery of artistic truth on prestigious stages
like Radio City Music Hall as well as Carnegie Hall. His highly emotional, devastatingly funny cabaret act has
been seen at Joe’s Pub, 54 Below, Duane Park, DROM, The A.R.T.’s Club Oberon,
and Los Angeles’ Lyric Theatre.
James’ razor-sharp wit, unique sense of humor, talent, and on & off
stage persona have become an artistic force to be reckoned with as well as a
voice people want to hear as he changes the face of the concert stage.
