Six shows of six different genres of music and six different Musical Directors might intimidate some artists: not Tanya Moberly.

Singer-Songwriter/Pianist Bob Malone (John Fogerty), one of the most sought-after rock and blues pianists in the world, is appearing at New York City's legendary The Cutting Room, 44 East 32nd Street, Thursday night September 8th at 9 pm.

Debbie Wileman transcended the arts of impression, imitation or recreation and elevated it all to an illusion so complete and full that it brought tears and cheers and all of them well deserved.

... to be clear, Ms. Turner has approximately 5 really good notes, but the rest of them she sings with great distinction.

Beautiful music was made on Monday, December 6, when hostess/producer Jamie deRoy brought her multi-MAC Award-winning Variety Show, Jamie deRoy & friends, back to Birdland.

Last night an audience of friends gathered in Birdland to enjoy an evening with everyones favorite friend… Jamie deRoy.  Jamie presented a group of her Broadway celebrity friends to schmooze and perform at what always turns out to be an exciting evening of world class entertainment. 

Eighteen months later, Jamie deRoy returns to the live venue stage with some marvelous mates and her signature tune.

A singing actress with many qualities similar to the greatest stage actress of her day, Amy Beth Williams has a new cabaret show that takes the audience on a musical trip around the world.

Hanson and 2-Time Bistro Award Winner, Amy Beth Williams, will reprise her show, A Thousand Beautiful Things, this fall, opening Saturday, Oct. 9th at Don't Tell Mama, 343 West 46th Street. The wide-ranging repertoire features music from Ahrens and Flaherty, Rufus Wainwright, Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Annie Lennox, Leslie Bricusse, and more.

Penny Fuller may have had the quote of the evening when she and Anita Gillette unveiled the new version of their show SIN TWISTERS. She was quoting the great Barbara Cook, who said 'I wish someone had told me I was working in The Golden Age. I would have paid attention.' That is a mouthful. Anita Gillette (Carnival, All-American, Mr. President, They're Playing Our Song, Chapter Two) and Penny Fuller (Applause, Rex, A New Brain, The Dinner Party, Anastasia) brought a bit of The Golden Age to the stage of Feinstein's 54 Below. And the audience paid attention. In fact, the audience was spellbound.

Somewhere in the middle of her show COMIN’ AROUND AGAIN, which opened tonight at 54 Below, Liz Callaway casually mentioned that this year Merrily We Roll Along will celebrate its 40th anniversary. How is it possible that Liz Callaway (Baby, Cats, Miss Saigon, The Three Musketeers, The Look of Love) has been entertaining Broadway audiences for 40 years? Her voice is as fresh and supple as it was all those years ago. She has always had a remarkable instrument, always squarely in the center of the pitch, with perfect diction. She has the ability to belt and still sound like she’s just talking. She has amazing technique that never calls attention to itself. It is a voice you never grow tired of listening to.
