Sandy Bainum to Play Metropolitan Room, 7/20

Songstress Sandy Bainum will return to the Metropolitan Room on July 20 with her cabaret show entitled Sandy Bainum - Simply based on her recent album, also called Simply, about which John Hoglund of Cabaret Scenes wrote: "As you listen to Sandy Bainum sock out pop and show tunes in perfect pitch with a crystalline soprano that only gains in substance the harder she emotes over the large orchestra, she seems the personification of a leading lady at her zenith. She's that good." After successful performances in DC and LA, Sandy comes to New York with a show that's filled with memorable tunes from the Great American Songbook and beyond: from the joyous "A Cockeyed Optimist" from South Pacific and the glorious "Goodnight, My Someone" from The Music Man, to the pop hit "You and Me Against the World" and the electric "On the Other Side of the Tracks" from Little Me, these are songs that exemplify timeless, straightforward sentiments and beautiful melodies. Whether joyous, rueful, funny or hopeful, they are musical moments filled with warmth, heart, humor and joy... simply enchanting. (www.sandybainum.com)
