SUMMARY:The FIXX: Colin Blunstone (The voice of the Zombies) and Peter Asher
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum rockers The FIXX\, Colin Blunstone (the legendary voice of The Zombies) and Peter Asher (of Peter & Gordon) join forces for a remarkable night of Brit-rock that transcends generations. They’re all coming to Adler Hall at New York Society for Ethical Culture on Thursday\, September 10 at 7:00PM.  Tickets will be available at www.eventbrite.com starting on Friday\, June 26 at 10:00AM. \nOften heralded as one of the most innovative bands to come out of the MTV era\, The FIXX sound is unmistakably unique and stands out among the thousands of artists filling the airwaves. Songs such as “One Thing Leads To Another\,” “Red Skies” and “Saved By Zero” remain everyday staples in television\, films and on radio stations that continue to break new acts inspired by the era that The FIXX helped to define. The FIXX were then\, and still are now: Cy Curnin on vocals\, Rupert Greenall on keyboards\, Jamie West-Oram on guitar\, Adam Woods on drums\, and bassist Dan K. Brown. \nColin Blunstone\, lead singer of The Zombies\, will bring his career-spanning show which features classics from The Zombies\, favourites from his solo releases and collaborations. The world first fell in love with Blunstone’s mysteriously silky voice on the 1960’s singles “She’s Not There\,” “Tell Her No” and “Time of the Season.” The band’s untimely demise in late 1967 led Blunstone into a solo career which began in earnest with the release of the lush and string-laden One Year in 1971. He has released 10 albums of his own over a period spanning more than 50 years. \nWe first came to know him through the Lennon/McCartney-penned global smash “World Without Love” as one half of the British Invasion duo Peter & Gordon. But Peter Asher ultimately became a legend in the entertainment world as an A & R executive for the Beatles’ Apple Records\, and as manager and/or producer of the likes of James Taylor\, Linda Ronstadt\, Carole King\, Joni Mitchell\, Diana Ross\, Cher\, Neil Diamond\, Morrissey\, Roger Waters and so many more. His worked reached incredible heights of both success and creativity\, landing him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in the 70s and finally resulting in a trip to Buckingham Palace as he became a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2015. \nThis concert is managed and ticketed by Metropolitan Entertainment. \nPurchase Tickets Here
