The Speaking Clock Revue

About the Show

T Bone Burnett presents The Speaking Clock Revue a multi-artist concert extravaganza-on stage at the Beacon Theater on October 20.

The evening will feature performances by Elton John & Leon Russell, John Mellencamp, Elvis Costello, Gregg Allman, Ralph Stanley, Jeff Bridges, Neko Case, Jim James from My Morning Jacket, Punch Brothers, Karen Elson, and newcomers The Secret Sisters.

The concert will be presented in a revue format with a house band consisting of the players featured on numerous Burnett-produced recordings.

This edition of The Speaking Clock Revue is presented with Participant Media in conjunction with the release of the documentary film Waiting For "Superman", from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, It Might Get Loud), which follows a handful of promising students through a U.S. public school system and offers hope by exploring innovative approaches by education reformers who refuse to leave their students behind. All net proceeds from these shows will be donated to The Participant Foundation to support music and arts education programming in public schools.
