Stearns Matthews Performs Tonight at the Beechman
Acclaimed cabaret vocalist Stearns Matthews will present an encore performance of the release show for his debut album, SPARK, tonight, February 11th at 7pm at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.
Matthews released his debut album, SPARK, on Saturday, November 1st, 2014. After six years of entertaining in cabaret rooms with "a voice as pure as rainwater" (William Westhoven, The Daily Record), Matthews leaps to the next stage of his career: recording.
The recording showcases Matthews' musical versatility as well as dynamic range, and features a mix of new arrangements of time-tested standards, musical theater favorites, as well as a never-before-recorded song by John Bucchino, My Alligator and Me. His soft side shines on Kander and Ebb's My Own Space and Drift Away from Scott Frankel and Michael Korie's Tony Award-winning musical Grey Gardens, while The Spark of Creation (from Stephen Schwartz's Children of Eden) and King of the Road (Roger Miller) display his signature high-powered, fiery belt.
Produced by Emmy Award winner Paul Rolnick, the album features musical direction by MAC and Bistro Award winner Christopher Denny. Matthews is backed by a stunning ensemble of instruments including piano, bass, drums, guitars, strings, trumpet, saxophone, and even melodica, played by Stearns himself.
