Dave Stewart performs live, signs books and shows off photography in NYC this week

Dave Stewart, founding member of The Tourists and one half of Eurythmics, will engage with nearly every artistic medium imaginable this week with a live performance at The Highline Ballroom on Wednesday, Sept. 17th, a book signing and photography exhibition at the Morrison Hotel Gallery on Thursday, Sept. 18th, and a Good Morning America appearance thrown in Wednesday a.m. for good fun.

The Dave Stewart Songbook, Vol.1 was released in August and features contributions from “His 30-Piece Fabulous Rock Orchestra," while a companion book by the same name includes a chapter devoted to each album track alongside examples of Stewart's celebrity photography and a nifty forward from good friend Bob Dylan.

The Morrison Hotel Gallery's exhibition of Stewart's photography will be open to the public throughout October and will feature shots of some of Davis’ celebrity models, including Demi Moore, Carla Bruni, Isabelle Rosellini and Bjork (pictured above). The book signing, also hosted at the Morrison, will last from 4-6 p.m.

With past projects including collaborations with artists from t.A.T.u to Mick Jagger, science fiction Broadway musicals and a still-tentative comic book, Zombie Broadway, it's safe to expect more multimedia offerings from Stewart in the future.
