Sunday February 12 Featured artists include: Jim Steinman http://www.thedreamengine.com "Nobody writes songs like Jim Steinman: he is, perhaps, the lost genius of pop, stranded - lamentably unlauded - in a world of rock with opera's attitude, where life has stopped at the point of adolescense that childhood dreams are shattered. It's how 'soul' music should have turned out: every chorus is like losing you virginity, every verse is like killing your parents. It's as if Phil Spector and Richard Wagner were making records together" Q magazine. A new series of shows featuring NEW songs, rarities and CLASSICS from the rock operatic imagination of Jim Steinman, songwriter and producer behind “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”, “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now”, “Making Love (Out Of Nothing At All)”, “Holding Out For A Hero”, Bat Out Of Hell (albums), “I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)” and many others. The Dream Engine will include soaring vocals from familiar and new talent and, at times, special guest stars as they surround the grand piano virtuosity of Steve Margoshes (Lestat, Tommy, Aida, FAME & longtime Steinman collaborator) along with a core four piece band. Presented by Steven Rinkoff and Gavin Berger in association with Jim Steinman. |
