GRAMMY-nominated rock percussionist Everett Bradley has come a long way from playing the lead role of Jesus in his Godspell high school production in Indiana to becoming a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band & Bon Jovi, working with David Bowie, Hall & Oates, Carly Simon, Cyndi Lauper, Quincy Jones, and Bobby McFerrin, to name a few...
He was reminiscing with his band members one night about their favorite funk & Christmas songs growing up, eventually coming up with the idea for Holidelic -- a Holiday funk revue where Everett plays the role of Papadelic, Funk's Father Christmas -- an amalgamation of George Clinton and Santa Claus. The show returns this year -- praised by NY Times & New Yorker -- to NYC’s Lucille Lortel Theatre from Dec 9-31.
