Richard Barone

Back in the day, Richard Barone led Hoboken’s the Bongos, whose 1981 debut, Drums Along the Hudson, is one of the best albums to come out of the NYC area during the fertile, shadowy period between punk and new wave. Since then, Barone has maintained a respected career as a wide-ranging pop aesthete. His new album, Sorrows & Promises: Greenwich Village in the 1960s, looks at artists including Buddy Holly, Paul Simon, Janis Ian, Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs. At Joe's Pub, he performs songs from that era, joined by David Amram, Tammy Faye Starlite, Colin Gilmore, Elvis Perkins, Steve Addabbo, the Kennedys and more.
