Jennifer Sheehan Makes Metropolitan Room Debut 3/10-26

Jennifer Sheehan makes her Metropolitan Room debut in a four-show, three-week engagement the Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd Street, running from March 10 to 26. With music director James Followell on piano, and Jered Egan on bass, Sheehan explores the enduring appeal and relevance of American songwriting, in "You Made Me Love You." Her personal songbook survey performs on Thursday March 10 at 7pm; Friday March 18 at 9:30pm; Friday March 25 at 7pm, and Saturday March 26 at 9:30pm.

Melding a versatile voice (that ranges from silky soprano to earthy belt), lithe sensuality and an understated intelligence and humor, Sheehan gracefully illuminates a firmament of songwriters - from Shelton Brooks who wrote the acknowledged first American standard, "Some of These Days" (recorded in 1911), all the way to the contemporaries Adam Guettel and John Bucchino.

The first Noël Coward Foundation Cabaret Award winner, and a recipient of the Julie Wilson Award from the Mabel Mercer Foundation, Sheehan made her Carnegie Hall debut last year as a special guest of Michael Feinstein. She has performed as a featured vocalist in Radio City Music Hall's "Christmas Spectacular;" in the 92nd Street Y's "Lyrics & Lyricists Series" opposite Andrea Marcovicci and Klea Blackhurst, and in numerous New York Cabaret Conventions. She has performed "You Made
Me Love You" at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach and she presented the show in a short run at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in 2009.

Jennifer Sheehan in "You Made Me Love You - Celebrating 100 Years of the Great American Songbook" performs four times from March 10 to 26 -- on Thursday March 10 at 7pm, Friday March 18 at 9:30pm, Friday March 25 at 7pm, and Saturday March 26 at 9:30pm. The music charge is $20, with a two-drink minimum. For reservations call 212/206-0440, or to order online visit www.metropolitanroom.com
