This is the unofficial blog about the amazing NYC street performer, Brad Prowly. There is no endorsement or affiliation with Brad.
I felt compelled to start something after seeing this video of him performing live at the Apollo… it’s that simple. If, at any time in the future, Brad would like this blog and the bradprowly.com domain, I’ll be more than happy to donate it.
I’ll post more content as I find it – if you’d like to drop me a line with an idea for a new post, please e-mail exposur3 [at] gmail.com.

Thanks for this place on the web. I’ve enjoyed watching the videos of Brad. He’s a very talented guy.
I wonder however, if he were someone trying to make it on American Idol if anyone would pay much attention to him… but a NYC street musician who looks like his life froze in the early 80’s? Strange we humans are. Kind of like judging a book by its cover but with a positive twist. We applaud Brad not because he has slick and marketable talent but because he’s just a guy who simply loves what he does and isn’t caught up in the world’s idea of success. I think deep down that may be what we all want.

I followed a link from You Tube to here.
Thank you for calling attention to Brad’s talent, and for this wonderful site. I enjoyed his performances and the video Karaoke Man, very much.

I’m a new and avid fan. This guy is incredible. His range is inspiring and his reprotrire is my (for lack of a better description) vision.

Brad is something real to me. What I love about him is that he stuck with something he loved for so long; even through hard times and tough living conditions. He should start performing in some way professionally (read profit).
If he had paypal, I would definitely virtually tip him. I see someone that I would rather be rich than the likes of pop singers today.

The Fun Lovin Criminals introduced me to Brad a few years ago – they had him touring the UK as their support act.
He ripped the roof off.
I think they dropped him as they knew he was chosen – who could follow that act?

Can anyone tell me if he’s alive? cause as of recently, I think he might have Passed on considering no new content appearing after 2007, I ask this cause someone left a comment on one of his videos that say’s he “will be missed” even though I never got a response when I asked

I saw him performing in Boston this afternoon (10/19/09).
He was so fucking incredible…
He did a hair-raising version of the late Al Wilson’s “Show And Tell” and finished his set with “Kung Fu Fighting” and “Macho Man”.

Yes! Also in Boston (10/21/09), near Park Street. It was the best thing in the world. Some guy next to me was fishing out a dollar, I was like, “Give him the 20! I gave him everything I had.” I feel like the luckiest girl in the world running into that show.

Yes, saw him on Washington st. in front of borders. Recognized him from the Apollo show on TV from a few years back. Had to shake his hand, AMAZING talent.

Is he homeless? I don’t ask to pass some kind of judgement; I just want to know more about my favorite singer.
