Evolution Theatre Company announces the world premiere of "Breach" a new rock musical

noreply@blogger.com (chipherter) — Thu, 19 May 2011 22:50:00 +0000

PRESS RELEASE

WHAT: BREACH: A new rock musical

WHERE: Avenue Theater | 417 E 17th Ave. Denver, CO 80203

WHEN: Running May 6-27

WEBSITE: http://avenuetheaterdenver.ticketleap.com/breach/

CONTACT: Britta Laree, britta@evolutiontheatredenver.com, 720-233-3500

BREACH is a new rock musical about the most painful kind of birth: The birth of a pop star.

Joanne Donetti is a singer-songwriter from Long Island who performs what she feels and does as she pleases, needing no more recognition than a few free drinks at the end of her wait shift. That is until Lou Valentino, New York record exec and all-around go-getter, happens into her bar on an uneventful evening of scouting and catches her closing number. Lou's interest in Joanne is her dream come true, but is his adoration for the woman he discovered or the star he wants to create?

Honest, raw, gritty, and surprisingly funny, BREACH examines the agreements we make in a world where both love and fame require a contract. And with music inspired by the likes of Pink, Paramore, and Joan Jett, it puts on one heck of a rock concert in the process.

Featuring Amanda Earls and Jace Smykil; with David Nehls on keyboard, Scott Alan Smith on guitar, Jason Tyler Vaughn on bass and John Olsson on drums.

WHAT: Denver band Faceman performing live, four-hour opus with members of Slim Cesna's Auto Club, The Knew, Boulder Acoustic Society, Bop Skizzum and more.

DENVER - Members of the Denver-based rock band Faceman have a dream that one day local musicians will put aside their competitive differences, pick up their instruments, and play together. That dream will become a reality when the band hosts Faceman's First Waltz at the Bluebird Theatre in Denver on Friday, February 4. The inaugural event combines some of Denver's best local talent in a four-hour opus of live music which promises the best of tunes from each of the bands participating in the concert, which includes Slim Cesna's Auto Club, The Knew, Boulder Acoustic Society, Bop Skizzum, The Outfit, Bonnie & the Beard, Chris McGarry & the Insomniacs, Medicine Man, PANAL and more. The concept of the event, which claims to be more of an "association" of Denver artists playing on stage together rather than a "concert," was conceived by Faceman in an attempt to offer a neutral zone for Denver artists who don't want to partake in the average competition for spotlight that comes with playing alongside other local acts. Instead, the band has decided to embrace the local music culture by honoring the good music that their peers are creating. More than 30 artists have been invited to participate, and the night promises as much for for the musicians as it does for the audience, with a range of musical styles from folk/acoustic to indie-rock, that is bound to offer excitement to anyone's ears. The members of the bands asked to participate in the concert will revolve throughout the set, playing their best music with Faceman acting as a "house" band for the event. Faceman and the many artists who have attached themselves to this unique concept have already dedicated over 30 hours of rehearsal to the event.

Tickets are on sale now for only $10 and can be purchased in advance at http://bluebirdtheater.net/eventdetail.php?id=30192.
