In the
Red Carpet area of the Hammerstein Ballroom, I'm having a combination Book Signing and concert Before-Party. It will happen on Saturday, March 31st at 4:30 pm. The address is 311 West 34th Street and it's free. I'm doing this because it's an opportunity to meet people in a festive laid back situation. I don't often perform in the NYC area and since it's formally called a "book signing" it's open to the public. I'll do a chat, play a few songs, and then sign some books - or anything else for that matter. SEE YOU THERE!
LIME Added to the bill for 3/31: With a string of mega hit records such as Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight, Unexpected Lovers, Your Love and
Angel Eyes LIME is arguably one of the most prolific groups in dance music history. Combine this with a high energy fun filled stage performance, the party starts when Joy Dorris and Rob Hubertz together as LIME take the stage!

March 31 - Nile Rodgers and Chic ("
Le Freak") and the Trammps ("
Disco Inferno") join other acts from the days of bellbottoms and mirror balls, including Tavares and Harold Melvin's Blue Notes, to re-create a seventies disco at the Hammerstein Ballroom. (ticketmaster.com.)
TIME OUT NY - '15 PARTIES TO HIT UP THIS SPRING' -- https://newyork.timeout.com/music-nightlife/nightlife/2704925/15-parties-to-hit-up-this-spring
Legends of
Disco - The people behind this salute to the '70s (tossed in conjunction with WCBS) aim to transform the Hammerstein Ballroom into the "ultimate disco club in New York City." They might need to hire some cocaine-addled designers and drunken, over-the-hill starlets to add a bit of authenticity to that effort. But with a lineup that includes Chic (featuring Nile Rodgers), the Trammps, Tavares, France Joli, and
Howard Melvin's Blue Notes, the music will certainly have the right feel. Added bonus: Dance Fever's Deney Terrio is one of the cohosts. Hammerstein Ballroom (at the Manhattan Center), 311 W 34th St between Eighth and Ninth Aves (212-279-7740, mcstudios.com). Mar 31 at 7pm; $87-$152.

Have dance fever? The Hammerstein Ballroom's expansive Grand Floor Level will be transformed into a colorful, illuminated
Disco dance floor reminiscent of the nightlife that defined the Seventies. No seats - just plenty of space to "disco, bump & hustle," - a spectacular club setting reminiscent of 'Saturday Night Fever'.
