Hoboken Talks with Richard Barone interviewed by Jack Silbert
Please join us virtually on Thursday, September 10th at 7 PM when Richard Barone sits down with “Hoboken Jack” Silbert for our next episode of Hoboken Talks! Please note this online program will be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook, and is not an in-person event.
Richard Barone is a recording artist, performer, producer, professor, and author. Since pioneering the indie rock scene in Hoboken, NJ as frontman of The Bongos and helping to launch the chamber pop movement with his solo debut “cool blue halo”, Barone has produced numerous studio recordings and worked with artists in every musical genre.
His list of collaborators includes producer Tony Visconti, Donovan, Lou Reed, and folk legend Pete Seeger. He has scored shows and staged all-star concert events at such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and SummerStage in Central Park.
His memoir Frontman: Surviving The Rock Star Myth was published by Backbeat Books. His album Sorrows & Promises, and most recent book, Music + Revolution (Bloomsbury), are celebrations of the 1960s music scene in Greenwich Village NYC, where Barone lives.
He teaches the course “Music + Revolution” at The New School’s School of Jazz & Contemporary Music, has served on the Board of Governors of The Recording Academy (GRAMMYs), serves on the Advisory Board of Anthology Film Archives, and hosts Folk Radio on WBAI New York.
This will be a rocking episode – please tune in on September 10th! We can’t wait to hear about the power of Hoboken music and how it can work miracles…
