LuxRd.: ‘Welcome to My Haus’

Posted

NARROWSBURG, NY — The Sullivan County duo LuxRd. will present the world premiere of its theatrical song cycle “Welcome to My Haus” on Saturday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Tusten Theatre. In keeping with the name of the project (taken from two different Lux Roads: one in Cochecton, the other in Callicoon), the band is collaborating with local artists to create a multi-media journey through musical idioms, experiences and eras.

LuxRd.’s music uses both acoustic elements (horns, strings, percussion) and electronica (ambient tones, beats, samples). Its members, David Driver and Peter Kiesewalter, share a rich history in music and theater. Driver was a member of the original cast of the Broadway musical “Rent,” and has since worked with luminaries like Elvis Costello and They Might Be Giants. Kiesewalter has toured the world with Canadian chanteuse Jane Siberry, whose most recent album he is producing, and founded The East Village Opera Company.

The material in “Welcome to My Haus” ranges from great American standards like Rodgers & Hart to classic 20th-century pop, from contemporary writers to the band’s own compositions.

The show contains some brief graphic language. A wine bar is available before the performance. Tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 at the door. To order visit delawarevalleyartsalliance.org/programs/tusten-theatre or call 845/252-7272.
