Spencer Day Previews Upcoming Broadway Album At The Green Room 42

THE GREEN ROOM 42 Broadway's newest intimate concert venue has announced the return of acclaimed singer and songwriter Spencer Day. He will continues his residency of packed houses and critical raves with Friday night shows at 7:00 PM on March 22 and April 19. The unique #1 Billboard charting pop/jazz performer who has appeared at venues from Lincoln Center to the Hollywood Bowl is headlining regular performances at the club, providing him with an opportunity to showcase his humor as well his diverse and eclectic original songs. The shows will include material from his recent album Angel City and a preview of his upcoming Broadway-based collection of Rodgers & Hammerstein ( Bali Ha'i ), Lionel Bart ( Who Will Buy ), Jerry Herman ( It Only Takes a Moment ) and more.

The video for Angel City's first single, 72 and Sunny, debuted on People.com, which praised the the song's bright, hopeful lyrics with retro-themed visuals. He recently performed the song live on Fox TV's Good Day New York. The album's second single, Angel City, was the #1 Most Added track this week from the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart, in addition to being #1 Most Added track on the Groove Jazz Music Chart. Last season his show won a rave review from All About Jazz, exclaiming whether as performer or composer, Day showed a penchant for shadowy explorations of wayward souls and ephemeral relationships. Each was a modern classic of intimate proportions, wrapped in smoky delivery that lilted through every seamless key change.

A special remix of 72 and Sunny was recently put into rotation by Sirius XM Chill.

Spencer's upcoming national tour dates include Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles, CA (March 3 and April 7), The Palm Springs Arts Museum in Palm Springs, CA (March 11-13), Blues Alley in Washington, DC (March 20), and Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle (June 4-5).

Angel City, Day's seventh and latest album, was recorded at Capitol Records with the support of the 20 piece Budman-Levy Orchestra. Using the fabled city of Los Angeles as a backdrop, the recording continues Spencer's meditations on love, fame, narcissism, and how an artist can maintain integrity and authenticity. New Yorkers will be able to find their own parallels in the themes of the songs. The album's lyrics and melodies reveal something of a stylistic departure from Spencer's previous records, although you'll certainly find his unique blend of blue-eyed soul, pop and film noir moodiness from the classic jazz era. Incorporating slices of life from legends and nobodies, the city of dreams is built on projections and fantasy, light and darkness.

Spencer Day born in Utah, raised in rural Arizona, and currently living in New York City has wandered amid the expansive and diverse landscape of American music, developing an artistic sensibility that borrows from numerous sources: jazz, musical theater, cabaret, soul, folk, traditional and contemporary pop. He uses intuition and improvisation as his primary tools to craft a sound that is familiar, yet fresh and innovative at the same time. Day's album Vagabond peaked at #11 on the Billboard Album Chart and stayed on the chart for 47 weeks. The lead single, Til You Come To Me, peaked at #3. His recent album, Daybreak, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Jazz Chart.

The Washington Post praised his cool jazz sensibilities and cleverly crafted tales, with Time Out New York calling him a compelling, quirky singer-songwriter. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, his melodies are infectious, his arrangements are dazzling and, most of all, his delivery is heartfelt and, often, heartbreaking. He is not only a superb pianist, but a brilliant arranger, who consistently celebrates the partnership between his voice and the piano.
