"Perhaps America's greatest unsung hero of power pop" (All Music Guide)
-- "Heyman's talent and pop craftsmanship are pretty close to perfection"
(Newhouse Wire Service) -- "A genuine national pop treasure" (Iowa Press
Citizen) ? "on a par with Paul McCartney, Todd Rundgren and Emitt Rhodes"
(CD Reviews.com)
These are just a few of the accolades tossed around to describe NYC
singer/songwriter Richard X. Heyman and his latest release and sixth
album, Actual Sighs.
Richard X. Heyman has been producing seemingly effortless pop
masterpieces for the past two decades, while also lending his musical
abilities to efforts by such artists as Brian Wilson, Peter Noone, Ben E.
King, Jonathan Richman, Link Wray, Michael Brown and The Shangri-Las'
Mary Weiss. A master of DIY, Heyman recently acquired a new keyboard for
his home studio, which opened the floodgates of composition in a new
direction. Heyman will debut many of these new pieces, with himself on
piano, Nancy Leigh on bass, and accompanied by a string quartet
consisting of Deni Bonet, Lara Hicks, Chris Jenkins and Eleanor Norton --
in the best chamber-pop tradition of The Left Banke and Love.

And then stick around for...
Edward Rogers and George Usher will do a set of mostly new material,
featuring Mark Sidgwick on twelve-string guitar, Claudia Chopek on violin
and Garro Yellin on cello. Usher will play guitar and piano while Rogers
will add percussion to the ensemble. Two years in the making, Edward
Rogers? upcoming CD, You Haven't Been Where I've Been, (Zip Records)
showcases the inventive and eclectic pop songwriting of the Rogers/Usher
team. This appearance will feature songs from the new CD, as well as
several from Rogers? highly-acclaimed debut, Sunday Fables. Sharing the
stage, NYC songwriter George Usher (who penned Laura Cantrell's Not The
Tremblin' Kind and Richard Barone's River To River) will offer up
material from his work-in-progress, Yours And Not Yours, as well as older
favorites from his deep back-catalogue.
