Modern Man
In this crazy world of music and performing, Modern Man are a delightful change of pace. A cross between Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Marx Brothers, David Buskin, Rob Carlson and George Wurzbach are three celebrated singers and songwriters, "terrific instrumentalists with gorgeous voices and hilarious wits." Together they quickly redefine something-or-other and delight audiences as they interweave themes ranging from God to Godzilla, from manliness to cluelessness, from ESPN to the FBI with a vocal blend that has not been heard since Ella and F. Scott Fitzgerald went their separate ways. As Showbusiness Weekly put it: "Buskin, Carlson and Wurzbach should be arrested for being so funny." Or as Back Stage put it: "...these guys are the Thomas Alva Edisons of humor. They're inventive. You know, the bulb goes on."
Folk fans will no doubt remember David Buskin from "Buskin and Batteau," (he was Buskin) and from his songs recorded by Judy Collins, Johnny Mathis, Roberta Flack, Peter Paul & Mary, Tom Rush, Pat Benatar and Sadao Watanabe.
Rob Carlson is a writer, producer, comedian and regular contributor to "The American Comedy Network." He also runs "The Producers," his own Creative Services studio in Fairfield, CT.
Brooklyn's own George Wurzbach is an award winning composer, performer and producer. His songs and arrangements have been performed by Johnny Cash, Kathy Mattea, Roy Clark and many others. He is the author of "Country Riffs for Piano," published by Hal Leonard.
Modern Man won Back Stage Magazine’s “Bistro Award” in 2002 for Best Musical Comedy and the 2008 New York Nightlife Award for Best Comedy group in New York. They perform in clubs, cabarets, coffee houses, concert halls and festivals from Maine to Florida plus Tennessee, Texas, Ohio and Canada.
"For a night of great songs, heavenly harmonies, polished musicianship and pure unabashed entertainment, you really want to see this show." - GT
