Shake it with Bernard at the Knitting Factory!
May 19, 2009 - NYC




Bernard Fowler

Bernard Fowler's talents as a singer, songwriter, producer and instrumentalist have resonated through the span of his extraordinary career in the music industry. He has appeared on over 30 albums, most recently focusing his artistic energy onto his first solo project, Friends with Privileges. This critically acclaimed effort draws from his diverse influences, and exercises his wide-ranging, powerful vocals while coupling his unique brand of rock with stylish grooves.

Fowler's first success in the music industry came early in his career as a trailblazer of house music in the garage music era. As a member of the New York Citi Peech Boys, Fowler started his trend of musical experimentation with the club hit "Don't Make Me Wait." While collaborating with Herbie Hancock on Hancock's album Future Shock, he began his long-standing relationship Mick Jagger, contributing to Jagger's solo album She's the Boss. Fowler went on to appear on every Rolling Stones album from 1989's Steel Wheels to 2008's Shine A Light.

He has lent his inspired vocals on solo albums for Keith Richards and Ron Wood, as well as fronting two jazz albums for Charlie Watts, and producing two albums for Ron Wood. He has toured with The Rolling Stones to every continent, performing for massive audiences the world over. Fowler has also worked with members of Pearl Jam, Def Leppard, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Neville Brothers as well as recorded and performed with Yoko Ono, Duran Duran, Herb Albert, Nicklebag, Robert Plant, Living Colour, Sly & Robbie, Johnnie Johnson and Bootsy Collins. While working on his next solo project, he continues to record and tour with the bands Tackhead and Bad Dog.

*These shows will benefit the Maysles Institute. Albert Maysles, considered a pioneer in direct-cinema, is a long-time friend of the Stones. He directed Gimme Shelter and other award winning films. Come and ask Albert all the questions you want to know about his experiences with the Stones while filming Gimme Shelter and working on Shine A Light. (The Stones had Scorsese, who is a long-time fan of Albert’s work, personally ask Albert to be the official documentarian of Shine A Light.)

Did I miss their dates in Antarctica??? That quote always cracks me up!!

I wouldn't pay $350 to be in the front row of a Stones concert. Let alone pay it to go see one of their backup singers

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

you can buy tickets at www.ticketweb.com for $18 in advance or $22 the day of the show. The $350 price is for fundraiser for the Maysles Institute, a pre-show thing from 6-7.
Also, Bernard is more than a Stones background singer. He is an amazing performer, and is incredibly talented on his own as well. Come and support him!

Our NYC night just got even hotter...We've just added Alexandra Richards to the mix - one of Keith's beautiful daughters. She'll be your special dj artist, mixing right from her table in your exclusive VIP seated balcony area. Great Keith connections going on...wonder who else might show up that night?

I guess ticket sales aren't going too well... that's lame.

Yes, they sell VIP Packages for USD 295.00 instead of USD 350.00 .. but I would not say that's cheap at all.....

ok - i'm going. who else is going???

This could be good...Do we know for a fact K.R. is in Turks etc then?
I might go. (If I can locate those airline tix I won -and misplaced

He'll be back by then. But he really hates it when people try to make money after launching a rumour that he'll be present.
And you can't blame him for that. Because that's pretty desperate.
No way am I paying $ 350 or 295 to see a band that features ONE of the backing vocalists, and a guy who played with Keith ages ago. Sorry Alexandra, listening to you playing records just doesn't do it for me...

Fan Asylum seem very desperate these days.

Wow, keith's daughter will be there. Mixing some stupid rap music!!!?? Sign me up for 10 tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's just ridiculous. A benefit for the Maysles institute - the guy who made Gimme Shelter - a benefit?
Had it been for Darfur og the poor Tamil regugees, I could have contributed. But this...

actually the maysles institute do really great work for children who have one or both parents incarcerated.

Oh, sorry, in that case - it's a good cause.
I thought it was just a benefit for him.
I heard he was pretty .. ah, pissed at someone after the "dinner" in NY 6 months or so ago. Threatened to cancel the next event etc. Guess he didn't mean it, then.

Latest Addition to the Night: Theodora Richards!
Theo will join Alexandra over at the DJ table in your VIP lounge.
Lots of Keith Richards connections...
