Molly Pope to Perform at Joe's Pub, 11/23

Molly Pope - the big-belting singer praised for "her viscerally thrilling alto" by Time Out New York - will debut a brand new show at Joe's Pub on Tuesday, November 23 at 7:00 PM. "Introducing Molly Pope" brings the acclaimed old-school vocalist back to the Public in a musical romp through a decade of life in New York City.  Ms. Pope lends her signature retro vibe to material spanning 80 years of pop music, ranging from Tin Pan Alley to Amy Winehouse, as she traces her path from fresh-off-the-bus ingénue to self-styled urbanite and beyond.
 
"Introducing Molly Pope" - which features a four piece band led by music director Sonny Paladino - follows her critically acclaimed nightclub debut "The Diva-lution of Molly Pope" (named a "Top Ten Act of 2008" by Time Out New York) and this year's "The Molly Pope Show" as the next madcap evening of dynamic vocals and unique interpretation from the fabulous Molly Pope.
