Beacon Theatre, New York, United States (December 2)
Willie Nile (born Robert Anthony Noonan on June 7, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter, and musician. In 1980 Nile released his self-titled debut album which according to one critic remains "one of the most thrilling post-Byrds folk-rock albums of all time".
“So many songs, so many songs,” mused Willie Nile Friday night, leafing through a fat notebook of lyrics propped on the piano at WAMC's The Linda. And he kept choosing winners, one rocking or tender tune after another before a crowd that kept growing so the staff scrambled to set up more chairs.
The first came after the frivolity of wordplay in “All Dressed Up and No Place To Go” in which Nile dialed up characters from Aristotle to the president of the United States and Henry David Thoreau.
Midway through his set at The Hamilton Live recently, Willie Nile sat down and performed “The Crossing.” The song appears on the soundtrack of Martin Scorsese’s film Gangs of New York.
Some musicians find their desire to make art stifled. Following a contract dispute with his original record label, Willie Nile spent a couple decades working, as he said, a day job.
