Joe Hurley Celebrates A New CD Release

Known as one of New York's most entertaining front men, Joe Hurley returns to the city from his month-long UK tour with his latest EP, The House That Horse Built (Let The Great World Spin). He's joined onstage by 2009 National Book Award winner Colum McCann for a CD release concert at 9:30 p.m., December 8, at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater in the East Village. 

The duo collaborated on the EP, which was inspired by a chapter in McCann's new novel Let The Great World Spin, and details the wastelands and heartbreaks of a prostitute's life in 1974 New York City.

In addition to McCann co-writing the track, it also features an all-star cast of musicians, including: Tony Shanahan (Patti Smith Group), James Mastro (Ian Hunter Band), Kenny Margolis (Cracker), Matt Sweeney (Johnny Cash, Bonnie "Prince" Billy), gospel great Tami Lynn (the Rolling Stones, Dr. John, Bob Dylan), Denis Diken (The Smithereens), soul-singing film star Antonique Smith, Faith Hahn, Joe Mcginty, and six-time Grammy winning Paddy Moloney of the legendary Chieftans.

The House That Horse Built (Let The Great World Spin) is the first part of Hurley and McCann's recording project, which will ultimately see a full-length CD based on the book and will be released in spring 2010.

The EP will be available for purchase at tonight's show.

Tickets are $15 and are general admission.
