(New York, NY) - On August 19th, electronic music pioneer Howard Jones will bring his multi-media project, ENGAGE, to New York City at the Gramercy Theater.  ENGAGE was recently performed in London and Los Angeles, respectively.  Entirely fan-funded by PledgeMusic, ENGAGE is Howard Jones' most ambitious work to date, incorporating specially-commissioned visuals with music and an interactive live show.  ENGAGE is inspired by such diverse musical genres as electronica, contemporary classical and pop, fusing this audio mélange with other visual and literary arts such as ballet, modern dance and philosophy.

 

The ENGAGE audience is invited to participate via a specially-designed smart phone app, customized clothing and fluorescent make-up.  Imagined by Howard Jones and created by Simon Fletcher of SPACESTREAM.com, Howard Jones' ENGAGE app for iPhone can be downloaded here and here for Android.  Howard Jones will perform a greatest hits sets immediately following the ENGAGE performances in New York City, and will also be playing select cities in the United States with his greatest hits set before and after the New York City show.  A special VIP package will be available for the New York City ENGAGE show.  Please see below for tour dates.  To check out the official ENGAGE trailer, please visit www.howardjones.com.  ENGAGE is commercially available as a DVD/CD package now.

His first two albums HUMAN'S LIB and DREAM INTO ACTION were worldwide hits.  HUMAN'S LIB reached #1 in 1984 in the UK and featured the hits "New Song," and "What Is Love?"  In 1985, Jones released the follow-up, DREAM INTO ACTION, which quickly became a Top Ten Platinum album in the United States and featured the smashes: "Things Can Only Get Better," "Life In One Day," "No One Is To Blame," and "Like To Get To Know You Well."  Howard Jones has sold over 8 million albums worldwide and continues to make new music and tour the world.
