SAVE THE DATE: Stories from Storytown 5 Jan 28

Stories from Storytown is a communal evening of live music and evocative storytelling about music over the years in New York City by those who were there - artists, managers, writers, studio owners, and fans. It also includes live music from the band Storytown, hosted by Storytown’s bandleader Guy Story.

In 2020 Stories from Storytown moves to premier venue The Cutting Room, 44 E 32nd St., New York, NY, 10016. The Cutting Room has great sound, a nice big stage, and offers a full menu. And you can bring your kids! So come on up (or down) for a nice evening of stories and music and food.

Stories from Storytown 5 will be Tuesday January 28, 7:00-8:30pm at the Cutting Room. We are very excited to welcome three new storytellers: noted artist manager Danny Goldberg, photographer Merri Cyr, and Alice Cooper bassist and Rock and Rock Hall of Fame member Dennis Dunaway.

Here’s more about our storytellers:

Dennis Dunaway was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 as a founding member of the Alice Cooper group. Dennis is in the Grammy Hall of Fame for co-writing “School’s Out.” Dennis’ book, Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!: My Adventures In The Alice Cooper Group is in its 3rd printing and has been translated into German. The audiobook, narrated by Dennis, is available at Audible.com (coincidentally our sponsor).

Danny’s past and present clients include Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Bonnie Raitt, The Allman Brothers Band, Bettye LaVette and Steve Earle.

And Storytown will fill in with live songs, new and old. And a video. So SAVE THE DATE and bring your friends: Tuesday January 28 7:00pm, The Cutting Room, 44 E 32nd St., New York, NY, 10016.
