Born in London and raised there and in Liverpool, D.P. MacManus later came to be known as “Elvis Costello.” He has been performing in public for over fifty years and is the composer and lyricist of over six hundred published titles, including fifteen songs co-written with Paul McCartney and renowned collaborations with Allen Toussaint, the Brodsky Quartet and T Bone Burnett.
This show will feature numbers drawn from record releases from “My Aim Is True” in 1977 to “Blood & Chocolate” in 1986, along with other surprises. Those nine years saw the first appearance of some of Elvis Costello’s most renowned compositions from “Watching The Detectives” to “I Want You,” along with songs that have remained in The Imposters’ live repertoire over the last 20 or more years, including “Alison,” “Man Out Of Time,” and “Brilliant Mistake.”
The Imposters are Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas, and Davey Faragher and they are joined once again by guitarist, Charlie Sexton.
This tour follows the fall 2024 release of “King Of America & Other Realms” – a 6-CD anthology that tells the story of that 1986 album and the music to which it led. The “King Of America” songs are expected to be heard in the mid-show interlude, along with songs written as long ago as 1975 and even some of those “pretty ballads” that Costello has promised.
