***************

On the heels of his critically acclaimed Billie Holiday Centennial Concert as part Lincoln Center American Songbook, Urbo Upstairs is PROUD to present bona fide New York City icon Joey Arias in a special Pride edition of The Joey Arias Experience. The Experience premiered during a sold-out 4-week residency at Joe's Pub last fall and most recently played a sold-out engagement at the Brighton Festival.

Drawing on his life-long affinity for music, Arias takes you on a journey across musical genres (jazz, pop, rock, experimental) that spans his earliest musical influences; his days at Capitol Records; his tenure as the lead singer of Strange Party (an influence on the Talking Heads); and his original songs from Jazzo~Lozzo, an album that quite literally made Arias 'big in Japan' with the album's release there and subsequent tour. "The Joey Arias Experience" revives this rich backlog of musical history with Arias as medium and muse. Arias takes this moment to reflect on the roots of his career and redefine his own musical language and history.
