Bay Street Theatre has announced "Fireside Sessions with Nancy Atlas and a special guest" continue through January and February.

It's a night of music and fun with Nancy Atlas and the Nancy Atlas Project live in concert. The special guest tonight, January 31, is Jonny Rosch and on Friday, February 14 the special guest will be keyboardist Brian Mitchell.

The music sessions will continue every Friday at 8 pm in January and February, excluding February 7 due to the Celebrating The Beatles Concert scheduled for that evening at Bay Street Theatre.

The series final two dates have been announced. The Friday, February 21 concert will be a retrospective on the music of Nancy Atlas called Atlas on Atlas. On Friday, February 28, the special guest will be Arno Hecht of The Uptown Horns.

"We wanted to offer something different this winter," says Gary Hygom, Producer at Bay Street Theatre. "The sessions with Nancy have been very popular and are a perfect way to keep warm on a Friday night and just have a good time with the music. Everyone has been coming out to see this series and they are having a great time!"

Nancy Atlas and her band of Journeymen have been dominating the East End Music scene or Long Island for quite some time. Known for her raw, live performances and stellar songwriting Nancy and her band, The Nancy Atlas Project, have opened for almost everyone under the sun. To name a few: Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Buffett, Crosby, Stills and Nash... the list goes on and on.

Nancy grew up with gypsy blood in Commack, NY. She spent her entire college years abroad at both Cambridge University in England and Richmond College in London and Florence. There was a serious recession going on the year she graduated college so instead of becoming an advertising executive she walked down to Portabello Road, London, bought a guitar for 60 quid and never looked back.

Nancy now lives in Montauk, New York with her husband Thomas and her two sons Cash and Levon and her daughter Tallulah. When she is not writing a song or on stage rocking out, she can be found spending time with her family enjoying the outdoors.
