The Rock and Roll Playhouse Plays: Music of Talking Heads + More
About This Event
At Brooklyn Bowl, The Rock and Roll Playhouse presents a family-oriented program performing the music of Talking Heads and other selections. The project reframes Talking Heads’ downtown-1970s catalog—rooted in punk abrasion, art-school structure, funk rhythm and global pop—with a working band onstage and an emphasis on clear musicianship and direct storytelling.
About the Artists
The Rock and Roll Playhouse
The Rock and Roll Playhouse is a group project built around live rock and pop concerts designed for younger listeners and their families. In New York City, their shows have a regular home at venues such as White Eagle Hall, where they reframe familiar catalogs in a format that keeps the band onstage and the audience involved.
Talking Heads
Talking Heads emerged from New York City’s downtown scene in the mid-1970s, with David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison shaping a band language that drew on punk abrasion, art-school structure, funk rhythm, and global pop forms.
