Buskin & Batteau in Concert

 David Buskin & Robin Batteau have been winning hearts and minds with their soulful acoustic balladry and fun-filled performances for more years than they care to remember! They will bring their “irresistible amalgam of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit” (The Washington Post) to The Acoustic Café Music Series in Park Ridge, NJ
on Saturday, March 9th. Accompanied by percussionist Marshal Rosenberg, B&B will perform favorites from their eclectic repertoire, ranging from the classically-oriented pyrotechnics of  Batteau’s “Boy With the Violin” to the ethnically incorrect silliness of Buskin’s “Jews Don’t Camp.” They will also be playing selections from their newest CD, Love Remembered/ Love Forgot, which features guest appearances by Tom Rush and Jonatha Brooke, among others. The CD debuted at #5 on the national folk charts and continues to enjoy significant airplay  worldwide.

The classically-trainedartists have been Clio-winning jingle writers (“The Heartbeat of America” for
Chevrolet, “All Aboard Amtrak” & “I’m Lovin’ It” for McDonald’s, among others) and their songs  have been
recorded by such artists as Judy Collins, Astrud Gilberto, Johnny Mathis, Bette Midler, Anne Murray, the Oak Ridge
Boys, Peter, Paul & Mary and Tom Rush. With their mix of talent, showmanship, Everly-crisp vocal harmonies and what Stephen Holden of The New York Times called their “by turns acerbic, funny and plaintive”
music and commentary, Buskin & Batteau are consummate entertainers in their
own right.

As a duo, Buskin & Batteau have performed on London
  street corners, in New York’s
Carnegie Hall and at folk festivals throughout the U.S.  They also have shared Grammy, Emmy and Gold
Record Awards and have performed and recorded with a host of Americana favorites.  Buskin & Batteau also host a three-hour show called “Radio B & B” which airs every other Friday, from 3-6 p.m., on WPKN-FM (Bridgeport),
which is streamed live at www.wpkn.org.
