In Angelo Iodice’s autobiographical “A Cowboy From the Bronx,” he and his alter-ego AJ Silver share the wild story of a how a Bronx native became an internationally renowned trick riding and roping star. Through multimedia and action-packed western variety acts, Iodice takes us on a personal journey from a 10-year-old discovering horseback riding in Pelham Bay Park to becoming a professional rodeo performer playing prestigious venues around the world. “A Cowboy From the Bronx” plays four performances between April 7-9 at The Voorhees Theatre, 186 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201.
Iodice’s act has been featured around the globe in European cabarets, circuses, stage/musical productions as well as international TV. He was notably one of the only riders in North America to perform the dangerous stunt of passing under the belly of a galloping horse. While on the rodeo trail, Iodice learned and perfected the art of trick roping, which he now features in his high energy western variety act that also includes bullwhip artistry, comedy and the boleadoras from Argentina.
