MCDANIEL WILL BRING A NEW SHOW, "1968 - Let The Sun SHINE IN," to
Joe’s Pub in NEW YORK City for four performances, July 21st, 22nd,

and the U.S. saw the assassinations of both Robert F. Kennedy and Dr.
Martin Luther King. The repertoire of "1968 - Let The Sun SHINE IN"
reflects the tenor of the times with titles including "Born to be
Wild," "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?," "Revolution" and
"Everlasting Love." Tickets are on sale now at:
