Peg Simone’s story-songs a Bowery Poetry Club: CD release on June 3

Fans of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits’ may want to check out Peg Simone, a New York based singer songwriter who colors her (and at times somebody else’s) stories with searing slide guitar and her smokey, sultry voice. Peg will be celebrating the CD release of her most recent album, Secrets From The Storm (Radium/Table of the Elements). Collaborator Holly Anderson will open reading some of her prose poems that inspired Peg’s darkest songs. Alt. guitar stalwart Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine, Lemonheads) will then play a meticulously rendered set of his songs, followed by Peg who’ll play all the songs from Secrets and then be joined by downtown legendary drummer Jonathan Kane (Swans) to perform the album’s epic opener "1927/Levee.”
