Hi! Can anyone suggest an artist who cover Broadway Showtunes? I love hearing people's version of songs that would not normally be sung by these artist.
Maxine Linehan is a solo artist; her latest album features a few showtunes. You can pre-order it on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beautiful-songs/id965307794 or even catch her show live tomorrow night, at the metropolitan room! there area few tickets left. :)
"I think "This Is the Moment" was performed at the Olympics once. I don't know who sang it, though."
This was covered by the Moody Blues for the Superbowl or Olympics I believe.
Not necessarily covers, but Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind had a concept album of pop artists (a lot of them British, if I remember correctly), and before that Frank Wildhorn's The Civil War had a double-disc concept recording featuring Patti Labelle ("Someday"), Deanna Carter, Trisha Yearwood, Travis Tritt, Hootie and the Blowfish, Trace Adkins, Amy Grant, among others.
