Irvington Town Hall Theater Presents CABARET ON THE HUDSON

The performance will be held on Sunday, November 15 at 3pm. Cabaret on the Hudson is a series that features three outstanding cabaret performers or small groups, each bringing a 25 minute sampling of their New York City cabaret shows to Westchester, NY. Many of the performers are Broadway veterans and have performed in New York City venues such as 54 BELOW, the Oak Room at the Algonquin, Birdland, Feinstein's at Loews Regency, Iridium, the Metropolitan Room and Jazz at Lincoln Center to name a few. Cabaret on the Hudson will be hosted by multi-nominated Cabaret singer and host of the Music at the Mansion series, Corinna Sowers Adler and will feature Benet Braun on piano.

Cabaret on the Hudson will run on four Sundays for the 2015 - 2016 season: September 27, November 15, February 21 and April 10, all at 3pm. The featured artists for the November 15 performance will be Pamela Lewis, Meg Flather and Richard Holbrook. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 at the door.

A Long Island native, Pamela Lewis (aka Champagne Pam) has been singing professionally since 1995, when she joined the traveling cast of Joey and Mary's Irish/Italian Comedy Wedding. In 2000, Pamela became the lead singer for a 10-piece orchestra for hire, CODE BLEU, Long Island's leading party and event band. But she firmly landed on the radar of New York Cabaret and nightclub critics during her 2010 debut show at the Metropolitan Room. Cabaret Scenes Magazine raved that, "Champagne Pam is undeniably bubbly . . . a solid, vibrant voice . . ." Now it's time for the 2013 BroadwayWorld Award winner for "Best Female Vocalist" to pay homage to fellow Long Islander Billy Joel with her new show New York State of Mind. Pamela considers his songs to be the soundtrack of her life...

After performing this critically acclaimed and sold-out show throughout 2015, Pamela again brings her unique interpretation of icon Billy Joel's songbook to the New York's Metropolitan Room on Friday, November 20th at 7 pm. "Pamela Lewis offered new, vibrant, self-created arrangements of 15 Joel compositions, performing them in her own self-confident style . . . If you care at all about the art of cabaret and its ability to illuminate a life we beg you not to miss it" -Bistro Awards www.champagnepam.com

Backstage Bistro and Hanson MAC Award-winning performer Meg Flaher is also a songwriter and author. All her albums are available on iTunes. Her book, "Home Shopping Diva...Lessons, Lyrics and Lipstick" is available on Amazon. Flather is often compared vocally, lyrically and stylistically to legendary singer/songwriters Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Annie Lennox, and Suzanne Vega.

Flather has been a featured performer for The Gay Men's Health Crisis at New York's historic Webster Hall, the 2002 Vermont Film Festival, and at the 2003 and 2004 Tribeca Film and Family Festivals. While hosting The Rosie O'Donnell Show, actress Caroline Rhea described Flather's original music as "totally beautiful." Her songs are showcased in the independent film, Nobody's Perfect, which screened at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, in Off-Broadway's Acts of Love, and a multi-media project dedicated to mental illness and teen suicide prevention, A Secret Best Not Kept. In December 2013, Meg performed her music to benefit the victims of Typhoon Yolanda at the Philippine Consulate General in New York City.
Flather is a member of all acting unions and has represented beauty products on QVC, HSN, Shop NBC, The Shopping Channel of Canada and TVSN, Australia. www.megflather.com

Born in New York City, Richard Holbrook grew up in the small town of Congers, New York, as the middle child in a family of nine -- just enough players for a baseball game. However, Richard found a different game to play -- show business. He found success as an actor on such hit television series as The Sopranos and Spin City. No stranger to daytime television, he frequently appeared in All My Children and One Life to Live. In 1985 Richard began performing his cabaret act to enthusiastic audiences. In 2003, backed by the Tom Nelson Trio, he did a tribute to Fred Astaire "Richard Holbrook: The Untapped Fred Astaire", directed by Rex McGraw. Over the past several years, Richard has appeared at such popular Manhattan night spots as Danny's Skylight Room, Don't Tell Mama, The Hideaway Room @Helen's, Feinstein's at Loews Regency, 54 Below, and guest appearances at the Cafe Pierre. His show on composer Richard Rodgers will be reprised at The Metropolitan Room in March, 2016. He has been nominated twice for a MAC Award as Best Male Vocalist and his CD, Richard Holbrook Steps Out, is available through his e-mail at singing-cabaret@nyc.rr.com.
