April 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Singer-Songwriter Kasim Sulton has announced an acoustic solo guitar and piano show at the beautiful Eve Lounge at The B.O.B. on Saturday, May 22, 2010.  Advance tickets are $17 and are on sale now at www.KasimStore.com.  Tickets will be $20 the day of show.  

This will be Kasim’s first ever solo performance in Grand Rapids, an area in which he is very well known for his years with Utopia and work with Todd Rundgren.  Kasim is touring to promote his 5th solo album released later this year. This is a show not to be missed by any true music lover. Kasim puts on a fantastic show, performing both his own original material and some Utopia favorites.  In between songs he entertains his audience with great stories and playful conversations.  The evening will begin with an opening set by local favorite Michael Crittenden of Troll For Trout.

A highly coveted sideman, Sulton is recognized and respected the world over as one of the most in-demand musicians in the business.   He’s been a featured member of the following acts:

Todd Rundgren and Utopia  
Meat Loaf  
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Hall & Oates
Patti Smith
Mick Jagger
Celine Dion
Cheap Trick
The New Cars
The Indigo Girls
Blue Oyster Cult
Richie Sambora
Steve Stevens

In addition, Sulton has played and sang on over 120 albums since starting his professional career in 1974. He is credited with writing and singing Utopia's only top 30 hit, "Set Me Free."  

In his solo career, Sulton has released 4 albums of his own material starting with the self-titled debut album, Kasim in (1982), followed by a collaborative album with fellow Blackheart Thommy Price titled, Lights On (1986) from which the song "No TV No Phone” was featured in the 1987 film The Allnighter, starring Susanna Hoffs. This offering was followed by The Basement Tapes (1993), Quid Pro Quo (2002), All Sides (2007) and the DVD, Kasim Sulton - Live in Atlanta (2008).  

What's in the works for the rest of 2010? Sulton is currently writing new material for an upcoming solo album. He takes to the road in April with Rundgren to perform material from Rundgren's forthcoming album of songs by legendary bluesman Robert Johnson on an 18-city tour. The month of May sees Sulton out for a two-week stint of solo dates, while much of the summer will be spent in the studio.  

New York has always been home to singer/songwriter Kasim Sulton. He was born in Brooklyn and moved to Staten Island at the age of six where he still lives today.  

Critics worldwide have praised Kasim’s talents. Mike O'Cull from ChicagoGigs.com, says: "Kasim is a songwriter of uncommon gifts. I cannot recommend this performer highly enough to anyone who is a fan of pop music or singer/songwriters in general. He was simply one of the best I've ever seen."
