Buster Poindexter, AKA David Johansen of the New York Dolls, Begins Two-Week Residency at Café Carlyle in February

Founding member of the New York Dolls and celebrated soloist Buster Poindexter, aka David Johansen, will perform a two-week residency at Café Carlyle in February.

Johansen is a force within the rock community as a member of the New York Dolls and a successful solo artist. As Buster Poindexter, Johansen's popular alter ego, he has showcased his talent with soulful R&B and jazz singing. His two-week residency at Café Carlyle will include a special Valentine’s Day performances for all the punk-rock lovers out there.

This will not be Poindexter’s first time performing at Café Carlyle, with his critically acclaimed performances selling out the venue. TheaterMania has called his Café show “one of the most satisfying musical acts you’re likely to encounter in New York,” adding “This show is hot.”

Stephen Holden of The New York Times has also praised his recent Café Carlyle performance: “That Buster Poindexter, a.k.a. David Johansen, the original punk hipster lounge lizard seems perfectly at home at the elegant Café Carlyle … with his exaggerated pompadour, crocodile grin, and raw Tom Waits growl, is 64 going on 14, and still having the time of his life.”

At the Carlyle, Poindexter (vocals, harmonica) will be joined by Brian Koonin (guitar), Clifford Carter (piano), Richard Hammond (upright bass) and Ray Grappone (drums).

Performances will take place Tuesday through Saturday from Feb. 10 to 21 at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel in New York. To purchase tickets for this event, click here.
