Christy gets "Frank" with a woman's perspective on a man's perspective, on Sinatra's standards and double standards! CHRISTY TRAPP taps into the FRANK SINATRA songbook and Rat Pack repertoire ("All The Way," "One For My Baby," "Nice ‘N’ Easy," "Wives and Lovers," "I’m a Fool to Want You") with a 21st Century spin and a sly eye on the lyrics that may or may not have stood the test of time. Award-winning musical director ALEX RYBECK leads the trio, featuring RITT HENN on bass and REX BENINCASA on drums, with expert direction by award-winning director JEFF HARNAR. THE TENDER TRAPP debuted at Don't Tell Mama on Saturday, April 26, followed by a performance on Wednesday, April 30. THE TENDER TRAPP $20 cover ($15 MAC Members) + $20 minimum (must include 2 drinks) per person CHRISTY TRAPP has performed across the country at Don’t Tell Mama and The Metropolitan Room in NYC, Davenport’s in Chicago, The Stage at KDHX in St. Louis, Maggie’s Cabaret in DC, Germano’s Cabaret in Baltimore, Rams Head and Classic Theatre of Maryland in Annapolis, and many other venues. "Trapp brought high professionalism, along with an innate honesty, warmth and wit, to her every song." ~ The Baltimore Sun
