When composer-playwright Joe Iconis premiers his new, debut pop album, entitled Album, at Feinstein’s/54 Below on July 8 (through July 11), this won’t be the first time he has played songs apart from his beloved musicals such as Broadway’s Be More Chill or Off-Broadway smashes Love in Hate Nation, The Black Suits, Bloodsong of Love and Broadway Bounty Hunter.
