Sterling’s Upstairs at The Federal welcomes television and LA Ovation Award nominated theatre composer and performer Brett Ryback in the premiere of The Kid with The Keys Sunday, September 16, 2012. Ryback promises an elegant night of troublemaking, immaturity, and kid-play featuring music from the Millennial Generation of composers including Joe Iconis, Ryan Scott Oliver, Daniel Maté and, of course, Ryback himself. Mike Sawitzke (from indie band The EELS) will play guitar; and Max Mueller joins on cello for a show that explores prepubescent awkwardness through songs, anecdotes, and the uncorrected lyrics of grade schoolers who know a lot about life, love, and Unicorns - even if they can't quite spell. For more information about the artist, please visit www.brettryback.com. For ticket prices and further details visit www.msapr.net. Reservations can be made by calling (818) 754-8700. Sterling’s Upstairs at the Federal is located at 5303 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, CA 91601. Valet Parking is available directly behind the Federal ($3.50 with validation) and street parking is also available.
