Brian Falduto
The Green Room 42460 West 42nd Street, New York 10036
Brian Falduto is billed at The Green Room 42 for an evening of his songwriting and country-rooted material. No further program details have been announced for this date, so the bill does not specify a theme, guest artists, a release celebration, or whether he will appear with a backing band. The setting is the venue’s fourth-floor cabaret room at Yotel, a space that presents live music and theatrical work by Broadway performers and emerging artists.
Falduto is a solo queer-country singer-songwriter first recognized as Billy, “Fancy Pants,” in School of Rock. His music has made room for bluegrass, folk-pop, grooves, crooner-style songs and ballads, a blend he has described as “a little hard to define.” His song “Same Old Country Love Song” drew attention on TikTok, and he co-wrote “Free Coffee” with singer-songwriter Will Leet, guitarist for Sammy Rae & The Friends. Reviewing Falduto’s 2021 Green Room 42 appearance, BroadwayWorld wrote that he had integrated the parts of the “gay country singer” label “quite nicely”; the reviewer also called his performance of “From a Distance” “very emotional.”
The Green Room 42 offers a spacious cabaret experience on the fourth floor of Yotel in Manhattan, where Broadway stars and emerging artists perform live music and theatrical shows.
