Cabaret St. Louis Presents Barb Jungr 12/1-4

Following sell-out runs at NYC's Café Carlyle and The Metropolitan Room, a week at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a sell-out tour of Australia, the UK's foremost song stylist, Barb Jungr will be back in the USA for a series of live dates - her first ever in St. Louis - with her critically acclaimed show The Men I Love (also a new studio album on Naim Records). Don't miss this sensational performer and winner of two New York awards (Nightlife Award for Outstanding Cabaret Vocalist and a Backstage Award for Best International Artist) at the very top of her game.

As has come to be expected with Barb, The Men I Love displays her impressive ability to re-imagine well-known popular songs, revealing deep meanings and latent emotional content that comes to light when she dislodges the songs from their original contexts. Since its release in March 2010 the CD has received rave reviews and accolades internationally. The Men I Love comprises songs by Dylan, Cohen, Springsteen, Paul Simon, David Byrne and more in superb new arrangements by Barb and pianist & composer Simon Wallace, with whom Barb previously worked on her best-selling album of Bob Dylan songs and her chansons material for Linn Records.

"...the brilliant British chanteuse who inserts sticks of emotional dynamite into songs of every vintage...Empathy is her game, and few singers in any genre extend themselves more deeply into the lives of others."
- Stephen Holden - The New York Times

"This pensive collection hits its stride from the outset, with a brave rendering of Once in a Lifetime - it's as if David Byrne had fallen into the hands of a Sondheim heroine. "
- The Sunday Times - UK

"One of the top five cabaret singers in the world right now. She's just that good. "
- Time Out NY
