SECOND NYC SHOW ADDED

BEACON THEATER – THURSDAY JULY 13

Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets To Open All Dates 

From Bridgeport, CT to Philadelphia, PA, Elvis Costello & The Imposters - who are already being augmented by guitarist, Charlie Sexton - will be joined by a horn section featuring trumpet player/arranger, Michael Leonhart, saxophonist, Donny McCaslin and the trombonist, Ray Mason.  

These horn players first joined Costello over two shows of the "100 Songs & More" stand, his acclaimed 10-night engagement at the Gramercy Theatre, NYC, at which over 230 titles were performed, most of them original compositions with only three titles being repeated. 

Michael Leonhart wrote or adapted horn arrangements for a variety of Costello's songs featured from "Pills & Soap", "Almost Blue" and "Come The Meantimes". 

On NIGHT NINE, Leonhart became the first trumpet player to take the solo on "Shipbuilding" since Chet Baker's original performance on the studio recording in 1983 before leading the horn section into the sequel song, "Cinco Minutos Con Vos", first recorded for "Wise Up Ghost" with The Roots. 

 Donny McCaslin is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader whose recordings include his trio album "Recommended Tools", "Fast Forward" and his vital contribution to David Bowie's final album, "Blackstar".  

 McCaslin raised the emotional pitch of NIGHT EIGHT at the Gramercy Theatre with a passionate tenor saxophone solo in the coda of Costello's ballad, "Someone Took The Words Away". 

Ray Mason is a trombonist, arranger and member of Antibalas as well as having featured in numerous ensembles and concert collaborations with artists from Erykah Badu and Randy Newman to Taylor Swift and Valerie June. He was among the players accompanying Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the 2020 Super-Bowl Half-Time show, so is unlikely to be confounded by any of The Imposters' dance moves. 

In 2020, Elvis Costello wrote lyrics for a Michael Leonhart composition that became "Newspaper Pane" after Costello had provided the spoken word performance to Leonhart's recorded collaboration with Bill Frisell and Nels Cline which became, "Radio Is Everything" on Costello's "Hey Clockface" album before writing the lyrics and recording vocals for "Shut Him Down" from The Michael Leonhart Orchestra release, "The Normyn Suites".
