Morrissey to Sing in New York

For immediate release

Contact: Kathryn Baumgartner


Two Chances to See Morrissey Live

Steven Patrick Morrissey, former lead singer of The Smiths, will appear on Long Island and in New York City, on January 9 and 11, respectively. Both shows begin at 8:00 p.m.

The first show is in Greenvale, a hamlet in Nassau County. The venue is the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, at 720 Northern Boulevard. Tickets range from $79 to $396, depending on the area of seating. The second show is at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater - Playwrights Horizon at 416 West 42nd Street. Tickets for that show range from $125 to $364.

Morrissey, as the singer most often goes by, was born on May 22, 1959 in Lancashire, England. He is a singer, pianist, and lyricist, having written and performed songs for the once-popular British group The Smiths, which broke up in 1987. He then pursued a solo career, releasing albums such as “Viva Hate” and “Southpaw Grammar.”

Seen as an innovator in the indie music genre, both in the United Kingdom and the United States, Morrissey’s music has a universal quality that has been able to reach many, from the lonely and broken-hearted to political activists. His vegetarianism, animal rights activism, and particularly his song titled “Meat is Murder,” have inspired many to follow in his footsteps and cut meat from their diets.

Though tickets are costly, this is not a show people will want to miss.
