The sole female vocalist on Meat Loaf’s 50-million-selling\u00a0Bat Out of Hell<\/em>, Foley was the sparring partner on the Top 40 hit “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellen Foley and her band The Worried Men have announced a rare live appearance. To celebrate Foley\u2019s Fighting Words<\/em> album, released earlier this month, the group will perform at the Bowery Electric in New York City on October 22. Tickets are on sale now at Bowery Electric<\/a>.

The release of Fighting Words<\/em> has seen Foley receive some of the best notices of her career. Classic Rock Magazine<\/em> called the album \u201cVintage jukebox Americana\u201d while American Songwriter<\/em> proclaimed \u201cFighting Words<\/em> is one of the greatest and most passionately true rock albums in recent times. Ellen Foley is a remarkable singer of multitudes: the only one in history to star in a Sondheim musical and also sing with The Clash and Meat Loaf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2020, Foley had made a brief return to the Manhattan stage for\u00a0\u201cClub Dada (In Difficult Times),\u201d<\/a>\u00a0a two-person cabaret show co-written and performed with Robert I Rubinsky. \u201cClub Dada\u201d only managed a pair of performances at La Mama in the East Village before the engagement was cancelled on March 7 due to Covid-19.\u00a0

Except for a handful of concert dates in\u00a0Belgium and the\u00a0Netherlands, the upcoming live show at Bowery Electric will be the first time that Foley has performed a full rock show in six years. Foley\u2019s band will include her songwriter Paul Foglino (bass), Charly Roth (keyboards), Slim Simon (guitar), Mike Fornatele (guitar), and Tom Curiano (drums).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foley also debuts a new video today from\u00a0Fighting Words<\/em>. Foley explains, “‘Leave Him Janie\u2019 is about dealing with someone who you thought was right, but you were wrong.\u00a0I like that it can be interpreted as advice to a woman, man, or even a troubled nation.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
