An honest, emotionally rich tribute to one of America’s greatest songwriters Jersey City based singer/songwriter Eddie Skuller explores the dark, poetic world of Tom Waits with diverse selections from his extensive catalog. Although Skuller’s amber-saturated vocals contrast with Wait’s raucous gravel-like voice, there is a connection channeled through the music's emotional depth and lyrical intensity. Skuller can forge a deep, powerful bond with his audience, which enhances the tragic expression at the core of Waits’ music. “I connect with the strange nature of life expressed in Waits’ songs through themes of sorrow, regret, desire and dreams,” says Skuller. This show features many songs from Tom Waits’ extensive catalog including the ageless treasures “I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You,” “San Diego Serenade,” “Ol’ 55,” “Downtown Train,” and “Jersey Girl.”Eddie Skuller is accompanied by
Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs, Ryan Adams, Rhett Miller) on keyboards and
Jeremy Chatzky (Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Laura Cantrell) on upright bass. Both musicians are masters of the New York music scene with whom Skuller has performed as a perennial guest singer with The Losers Lounge, an acclaimed tribute series that appears at Joe’s Pub and City Winery.
Philadelphia Daily News: “Skuller
embraces the dark and moody but injects the tender promise of hope. Not an easy thing for most singers to pull off.”New York Times: “Skuller
’s lofty tenor is too original to pigeonhole.”The Big Takeover: “Skuller
conjures a haunted atmosphere of melancholy introspection.”LINKSFacebookInstagramWebsite:
