CD RELEASE NEWS:Award winning singer Grace Cosgrove celebrates the music of Laura Nyro, the innovative singer-songwriter of the 60s and 70s with a release party of her new CD, TO LAURA WITH LOVE - Grace Cosgrove Sings Laura Nyro at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - ) on Saturday, September 29th at 7:00 pm. She is joined on stage by Don Rebic, Musical Director/Piano; Sean Harkness, Guitar; Dan Gross, Drums/Percussion; Jason DiMatteo, Bass; Margaret Dorn, Emily Bindiger, Diane Garisto, Vocals. Nyro is best known for writing such memorable hits as WEDDING BELL BLUES, ELI'S COMING, AND WHEN I DIE, STONEY END and STONED SOUL PICNIC. And, artists such as The 5th Dimension, Blood, Sweat and Tears and Barbara Streisand had major hits introducing her songs. In 1969, Nyro had 3 of the top 10 hits on the Billboard charts, a major accomplishment. From the first time she heard Laura Nyro's music as a teenager, Grace was enthralled and transported by the spirit, passion and poetic storytelling of Laura's songwriting art, and has been interpreting her songs throughout her performing career. Never seeking to imitate the Nyro style, Grace has been able to mesmerize audiences with a sensitivity and sincerity all her own - paying tribute, but never seeking to reproduce that unique voice. Instead, she has always sought to give the shifting tempos and poetic lyrics of Laura Nyro her own personal touch. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.copyright 2011-12 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - YOU ARE WELCOME TO POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
