SUMMARY:Willie Nile Band
DESCRIPTION:Willie Nile is a hard-working rock ’n’ roll troubadour call
 ed “the unofficial poet laureate of New York City” (Uncut). The New Yo
 rker hailed Nile as “One of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the
  past 30 years.”\n\nWhile many of us struggled to salvage a sense of pur
 pose from a year’s worth of isolation\, Nile tapped into his own lockdow
 n experience as a source of inspiration for the set of haunting new songs 
 that comprise his emotion-charged release\, “The Day the Earth Stood Sti
 ll.” Although the veteran singer-songwriter borrowed its title from the 
 1951 science-fiction movie classic\, the album was actually inspired by th
 e sight of Nile’s beloved hometown temporarily turned into a desolate gh
 ost town\, thanks to COVID-19 safety precautions.\n\nThe title became the 
 jumping-off point for one of the most powerful and personal albums of Nile
 ’s long and prolific career. Indeed\, The Day the Earth Stood Still — 
 his 14th studio effort — features 11 new original compositions that exem
 plify the artist’s trademark mix of romance\, idealism and humor\, chann
 eling a true believer’s passionate affirmation of life\, love and rock 
 ’n’ roll.\n\nNile’s dual passions for life and music has fueled his 
 long-running musical career\, which took off after the Buffalo\, N.Y. nati
 ve made his way to New York City in the early 1970s. After establishing hi
 mself as a popular performer on the downtown club scene\, Nile attained na
 tional status with a trio of widely acclaimed major-label albums before go
 ing the indie route with a lengthy series of acclaimed independent release
 s. Releasing albums and touring internationally on his own terms has allow
 ed Nile to expand his loyal fan base to encompass much of the planet. His 
 longtime admirers include Bruce Springsteen\, with whom Nile has guested o
 nstage on multiple occasions\, and Pete Townshend\, who personally request
 ed him as the opening act on the Who’s historic 1980 U.S. tour. The list
  of avowed Nile fans also includes Bono\, Lou Reed\, Ian Hunter\, Graham P
 arker\, Jim Jarmusch\, Little Steven\, and Lucinda Williams\, who once rem
 arked\, “Willie Nile is a great artist. If there was any justice in this
  world\, I’d be opening up for him instead of him for me.”\n\nTickets
