Robyn Spangler Brings RIDDLE, RONSTADT & ROBYN to Rockwell Table and Stage
To celebrate the Nelson Riddle / Linda Ronstadt three album collaboration of the Great American Songbook Broadway World Award Winner and PLAYBILL Pick Robyn Spangler sings selections from the three platinum certified albums: "What's New", "Lush Life" and "For Sentimental Reasons". Ms. Spangler will be joined by special guest Don Most.
When Linda Ronstadt decided she wanted to do an album of American standards, she wanted the moon. She wanted Nelson Riddle to do the arrangements. After all, Nelson Riddle loved arranging for singers and made Dean, Frank, Ella, Judy, Nat, Peggy and Rosemary household names. Arranging for Linda Ronstadt turned out to be an exceptional pairing in the 1980's and turned out to be some of the last arrangements of Riddle's career.
Ms. Spangler grew up on the 'Nelson Riddle Sound'. Linda Ronstandt's dominance in pop music was added to her musical psyche in middle school and the two have been writing on the musical slate of who she is ever since.
Robyn Spangler is a fourth generation professional performer who has appeared in prestigious rooms internationally and across the US including Royce Hall in Los Angeles, Carnegie Hall in New York and The Pheasantry in London. Robyn is also a songwriter and has charted at #1 on ReverbNation with her song "Second Wind" co-penned with collaborator and music director Todd Schroeder. She also has two solo albums "On A Liquid Afternoon" and "Why I Love Linda Ronstadt" both of which have received play on Delta Airlines inflight Hello Music Channel and are available on Amazon and iTunes.
Ms. Spangler will be joined by actor/singer/director Don Most who is best known as "Ralph Malph" on the TV series "Happy Days". Mr. Most started as a a singer and currently tours with his own act. Don will be crooning Sinatra / Riddle arrangements.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's.
Riddle, Ronstadt & Robyn (and Don) will be playing at Rockwell Table + Stage, 1714 Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027. T: 323-669-1550. February 16 at 8:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30pm.
