"Newburgh CD Release Concert"
The Ritz Theater and Imperial Guitar are pleased to present local folk singer and songwriter, Richard McGraw on Saturday, February 11 at 8 PM in the Ritz Theater Lobby at 107 Broadway in Newburgh. Richard McGraw will be performing with Matt Kanelos, piano; Joshua Flieschmann, drums and Ben Gallina, bass to celebrate the release of his new record “Popular Music.”

Richard McGraw is a man who knows no boundaries. Or perhaps, one who knows them, but ignores them anyway. His new long-player, aptly titled Popular Music is the case-in-point. Who needs a pigeonhole when you can sing like bird? McGraw’s somewhat tortured, most definitely emotive baritone is just as wonderful when it takes on a wholly unexpected rendering of REO Speedwagon’s “Take It On The Run,” and an equally offbeat adaptation, “Baba O’Reilly” (The Who) as when it tries (and succeeds) at the more likely Leonard Cohen classic, “Ain’t No Cure For Love.” Richard McGraw eulogizes a living Leonard Cohen, takes on Lady Gaga, REO Speedwagon, Bob Seger and wins with “Popular Music!” Genre bending redefined!

The concert will be held in the Ritz Theater Lobby at 107 Broadway in Newburgh. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased through TicketWeb at (866) 468-7619, www.ticketweb.com, via our website at www.ritztheaternewburgh.org, or by calling the Ritz Theater Box Office at (845) 784-1199.
