IRVINGTON — Singer/Songwriter and artist, Irvingtonian Bill Price, will bring his latest recording, “I Can’t Stop Looking at the Sky” home to Irvington on Nov. 13 at the Irving Theatre, 5505 E. Washington St. at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are only $5 at the door (good toward any merchandise). Bill will be playing with His Band of Skeptics.
“I Can’t Stop Looking at the Sky” is more than just a new album, it is a thematic music/literary/graphic design piece. The project is being presented as “A Journey in Eleven Dispatches.” It took four years to create.
What began as a single album project, quickly expanded into two CDs (33 new, original songs) and culminated in a deluxe package that contains a 160-page book of additional short stories, poems and essays; two 36-page, oversized, extensive lyric booklets; a 120-page journal (from the inspirational trip) as well as postcards; buttons; stickers and a coupon for a follow-up, 5-song EP.
Some of the themes Price explores include: time, home, childhood, grace, forgiveness, truth and paradox. The book of short stories, essays and poems, titled Digging Deeper toward the Sky is a parallel journey to the music. The book supports, and in some cases expands on the themes in the songs. The personal journal is Price’s concession to a little bit of background about the songs, albeit fairly obscure.
Don’t miss this chance to see a true east side original on Nov. 13.
