Bliss Street is a new musical recounting a significant chapter of New York’s iconic 70’s Rock & Roll history. It documents the life and legacy of Paul Sub, who founded and ran a succession of New York music clubs in the 1970’s. These included the short-lived Popcorn Pub (1972-3) and the more enduring Coventry on Bliss Street in Queens (1974-76), where artists such as Kiss, The Ramones and The New York Dolls debuted. Written by Abra Bigham from a concept by Rich Brotman, with songs by Charlie Sub, directed by Lissa Moira, it is both an homage to Paul and a coming of age story of his son, Charlie, who grew up in the “revolutionary” 60’s and 70’s in the gritty atmosphere of his father’s clubs. Creatively stymied in his own musical career, Charlie moved to California to find his purpose but ultimately came back to NY and his father’s milieu to find his Rock ‘n Roll voice as leader of the band Charlie Sub & Sound Dogs.
Show Notes: 1 intermission.
