Ringing in the New Year
Transplanted New York piano-pop hero Julian Velard will be returning home and subsequently capping off 2008 with a bang.
After playing one final show in Glasgow on the 21st of December alongside Scottish singer/songwriter Amy MacDonald, (which I’m inclined to add has already been sold out) he’ll be heading home to the states for Christmas celebrations.
When the routine hoop-lah of Christmas has come to a close, Julian will be playing a double bill on the 31st to ring in the New Year.
The show will be held at the Rockwood Music Centre in New York, where he’ll be playing two shows, one from 7-9pm and the second from 930-1130pm ending just in time for New York natives to participate in the cities notorious New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The venue is located at 196 Allen Street in downtown NYC, and tickets are still available from upwards of $20 USD, although they’re not expected to last much longer.
Tickets are available through several different options, including Julian Velard’s myspace.com page, as well as his official website. The tickets to this unique performance are incredibly limited, so fans located in and around the city are encouraged to commit to buying quickly if they opt to attend.
The epic return of Julian to his home turf is quickly ramping up to be a spectacular event. As memory serves, the Big Apple wasn’t the kindest of mistresses to his career in earlier years, although his recent musical acclaim will surely change all of that.
Both New Year’s Eve shows will feature giveaways, contests and a welcoming cheer to the pending New Year, and the latter of the two will feature a champagne toast appropriately at midnight. I’ll also add the gig features a thus far undisclosed “special guest.”
Julian took the time to announce the end-of-year show in his latest video blog, in which he states that he hopes the coming year will be just as prosperous for him and us (his fans) as this year was. As a fan it is easy to follow suit and look bravely and eagerly toward what ’09 may have in store for all of us.
