Photos: Natalie Douglas Presents 60'S SONGS JUNETEENTH JUBILEE at Birdland
Broadway World Cabaret photographer Conor Weiss offers a photo essay of the new Natalie Douglas show.
Cabaret and concert star Natalie Douglas returned to Birdland this week with 60’S SONGS JUNETEENTH JUBILEE. The multiple award winner was joined onstage by Brian Nash on keyboards, Jakubu Griffin on drums, Jonathan Michel on bass, and longtime esteemed Musical Director Mark Hartman at the piano. For her outing, Ms. Douglas performed songs from the decade while celebrating Juneteenth, the Federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Douglas, a passionately outspoken activist for the rights of black citizens, is no stranger to using her artistry to inform and further her quest, always bringing the important conversation into the room, whenever she can, all the while putting on display the musical storytelling skills that have made her one of the industry's most popular and in-demand performers.
