Nellie McKay’s music is as tuneful and clever as the best of the Great American Songbook – part cabaret, part sparkly pop. But beneath the charming melodic surface is a wit that cuts and a sharply tuned social conscience.

Home Sweet Mobile Home (2010) is McKay’s most recent release, and her first album of all-original material since 2007′s Obligatory Villagers. Home Sweet Mobile Home features the musical wanderlust, lyrical playfulness and unique point of view that has characterized McKay’s music since her breakthrough debut Get Away From Me (2006).

Singer/songwriter Nellie McKay has opened for Lou Reed at Carnegie Hall, sung Woody Allen movie songs at the Hollywood Bowl, performed on A Prairie Home Companion, and released three wildly acclaimed albums of original music.
