The Birthday Club with Dan Chouinard Feat. Gary Rue
Guitarist, songwriter, founder of seminal Twin Cities avant-garde band Rue Nouveau in the 1980s, music director for pop legend Gene Pitney from the 1990s until Pitney's death. Writer of many shows for Children's Theater, Great American History Theater, SteppingStone Theater and more.
Gary has been writing music for a wide variety of applications since his early teens. Recording credits include LOST IN THE SHUFFLE performed by Helen Reddy on the European release of her greatest hits compilation, and EVERYONE, recorded by Nick Lowe on his Columbia Records release THE ROSE OF ENGLAND (the song found its way to Nick via pop idol Elvis Costello, a fan of Rues band, RUE NOUVEAU).
Mr. Rue has over 70 theater musicals to his credit, among these, PAINTING IT RED by Steven Dietz (author of the Pulitzer Prize nominee LAST OF THE BOYS), which enjoyed wide exposure nationally, including a very successful 6 week run at BERKELEY REPERTORY THEATERs Second Stage in Berkeley, California. Gary is also composer-in-residence at SteppingStone Theatre of St Paul. One of these commission, THE STINKY CHEESE MAN recently completed a national tour (including a series of performances in Shanghai, China) with the Dallas Childrens Theatre.
Gary had also served since 1986 as conductor and arranger in North America for 60s pop star Gene Pitney (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Town Without Pity) and his 15 piece orchestra until Mr. Pitneys death in 2006.
