Eleri Ward - The Tender Tour at Blue Strawberry

Since her sold-out debut at Blue Strawberry last year, Eleri Ward's star has only continued to rise. Her name and her "hauntingly beautiful" indie-folk Sondheim covers are now known far and wide within the Broadway community and beyond. She has performed solo shows to sold-out crowds at venues such as Sony Hall, Joe's Pubs and The Kennedy Center and also sung her covers alongside of Broadway legends such as Donna Murphy, Julia Murney and Joshua Henry. This past summer, she landed the coveted spot of opening act for Josh Groban's tour, giving her the opportunity to share her music with audiences nation-wide and to perform a nightly duet of Sondheim's "Not While I'm Around" (Eleri's version) with Josh Groban himself.

Now, Eleri returns to Blue Strawberry with her TENDER TOUR, featuring music from both of her critically acclaimed Sondheim albums. If you think you have seen and heard everything Sondheim, you are profoundly mistaken. Eleri Ward's take - just her and her guitar - is strikingly and luminously original and will leave you with a brand-new interpretation and appreciation of Sondheim's work.
