NYC: CAROLE J. BUFFORD IN "SPEAK EASY" AT THE MET

NYC: CAROLE J. BUFFORD IN "SPEAK EASY" AT THE MET

Carole J. Bufford sings about the "dry" years in "Speak Easy," her new Prohibition-era show running at the THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 ) with performances on Thursday, May 10th at 9:30 pm; Saturday, May 19th at 4:00 pm; and Thursday May 24th at 9:30 pm. She will be backed by Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks. Music direction is by Larry Lees. Bufford will perform classics made famous by Sophie Tucker, Al Jolson, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, Helen Kane, Annette Hanshaw and more. Traveling back to the time of flappers, vamps and sheiks, Bufford puts her own special mark on the torch singer leading a band of merry-making men. Since her cabaret debut as a finalist of the 2009 MetroStar Talent Challenge, Bufford has been distinguishing herself in numerous "Broadway by the Year" appearances, at the N.Y. Cabaret Convention (2009 and 2010), and as a headliner of Scott Siegel's "11 O'Clock Numbers at 11 O'Clock" in a just-ended, eight-month run at Feinstein's. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
