In between working as musical director and bassist for Meat Loaf, and performing as a member of The New Cars, as well as many other musical endeavors, Kasim will be performing more solo shows in 2007.
May 28, 2007 (Press Release) --
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
What do Jon Bon Jovi, Todd Rundgren, Mick Jagger, Meat Loaf, Celine Dion, Joan Jett and Hall & Oates have in common? Singer/Songwriter Kasim Sulton has worked with all of them!
In between select dates on Meat Loaf’s USA and Canadian “Seize the Night” world tour, Kasim has scheduled another series of solo performances to help promote the release of his long awaited 2 disc set, “All Sides.” On August 15, 2007, he will be performing at The Big Bop, Reverb Music Hall in Toronto, Ontario.
Brooklyn-born Sulton began his career playing piano for David Bowie's publicist Cherry Vanilla, before joining Todd Rundgren's prog-rock group Utopia in 1976. Kasim played bass and sang vocals in the band for 10 years. During that time, they released 6 studio albums and Kasim took on more of the lead vocals of the group as well. Kasim also wrote their only Top Thirty hit, “Set Me Free.”
Kasim has been a part of Meat Loaf’s band since 1993 and in 1998 became his Musical Director. Kasim also has the distinction of being the only musician, apart from Meat Loaf, who performs on each track of all three Bat Out Of Hell albums. In recent years, Kasim has also been making his name as a producer, having produced the Meat Loaf album StoryTellers in 1999, and Rick Reynolds' album Unstoppable in 2005.
Kasim released his solo album, “Quid Pro Quo,” in 2002 to critical acclaim by both critics and fans alike, and in 2003, it won the Kweevak.com Viewers’ Choice Award. Kasim’s next solo effort will be released in late 2007, but in the meantime, he has released a double compilation CD called “All Sides” which includes new tracks, live tracks and personal favorites from his other solo albums.
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."
Kasim plans to play about 7 gigs in August. He believes that good songs can always be sung with just an acoustic guitar and a voice; he aims to prove that with his solo tour, as there is no high tech equipment, just Kasim and his guitar. Kasim will be talking on stage about his 30+ year career in the music business as well as playing a mixture of his own music, songs from his days in Utopia and music from The Cars, Todd Rundgren and possibly even Meat Loaf.
The Big Bop Reverb Music Hall is located at 651 Queen Street West, Toronto Ontario, and show time is at 9:30pm. Tickets can be bought in advance for $20 by going to http://www.thebigbop.com or at the door for $25.
