...from CBS News

NEW YORK, April 17 - Elvis Costello will perform live on Friday, April 19 beginning at 12:00 Noon outside the CBS studio at the Trump International Building on Fifth Avenue and 59th Street in New York. The live concert to be broadcast on the SATURDAY EARLY SHOW will be open to the public. Costello will perform a few songs from his new album, his first in seven years, "When I Was Cruel," as well as some classics from his previous albums. Over Costello's career, his musical eclecticism has distinguished his records as much as his literate lyrics, making him one of the most innovative, influential and best songwriters of our day. The concert will be featured on Saturday, April 27. The SATURDAY EARLY SHOW is broadcast Saturdays (9:00-11:00 AM, ET/PT; check local listings) on the CBS Television Network. Steve Friedman is the senior executive producer, and Lyne Pitts is the executive producer.
