That Thing You Do
Singer Songwriter, Mike Viola Appearing at Joe’s Pub
American singer-songwriter, Mike Viola, was born in Stoughton, Ma. He began his musical career in the 1980′s and is best known as singer, songwriter of a team he called the “Candy Butchers”.
The success of the Candy Butchers in the 1990′s found the group touring alongside the likes of They Might Be Giants, Robyn Hitchcock, Semisonic, Sparklehorse, Barenaked Ladies, and Ivy.
Their succes also opened up the doors to film work, co-producing and singing lead of the Oscar-nominated title track from Tom Hanks’s That Thing You Do!.
His latest album, Lurch, is alive with the classic-pop euphoria and vivid storybook imagery that Viola’s fans have come to treasure. Lurch has captured audiences internationally, thanks to tracks like album-opener Maybe, Maybe Not and first single So Much Better, which charted in Denmark.
He will be appearing at Joe’s Pub this Friday, April 1st, playing music old and new, including tracks from his latest album, Lurch.
