Events
Stephen Bishop
[POP] Stephen Bishop arrived on the scene at an odd time for singer-songwriters, as the genre’s reigning champs, James Taylor, Carole King, and Carly Simon (to name a few) struggled to keep paces with the increasing popularity of dance music and electronic instrumentation. His 1976 debut, Careless, and the follow-up, Bish (1978) were both certified gold and launched a handful of hit singles, (“On and On,” “Save it For a Rainy Day,” “Everybody Needs Love,” and “A Fool at Heart”), which remain soft-rock radio staples to this day. Never cut for pop stardom, Bishop went on to write songs for the screen, but his biggest score doing so was “It Might Be You,” from the film Tootsie, which he performed but didn’t write. His song “Separate Lives,” performed by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin on the White Knights soundtrack, was nominated for an Academy Award. He’s also made a bunch of film cameos, most notably as the folkie dude who gets his guitar smashed up by John Belushi in Animal House. Now 65, Bishop will perform at the intimate Bear’s Den in the Seneca Niagara Casino on Friday, February 10.
