Paul Collins Beat (New York, NY)
Legendary powerpop icon. Played in The Nerves with Peter Case and Jack Lee, releasing a single with “Hanging On the Telephone” which became a hit for Blondie. Then formed The Beat / Paul Collins Beat, signed to CBS, and released the perfect powerpop album, tougher than the stereotypical skinny-tie wimps, combining the economy of punk rock with killer rock n roll hooks and songs. Has been covered by many, many artists and maintains a DIY guerrilla touring approach that is hard to believe. We are honored and excited to have him.
Appearing: Thursday Afternoon Opening Ceremonies
