TODAY'S CABARET PICK: CAN: BARB JUNGR AT HUGH'S ROOM IN TORONTO

CAN: BARB JUNGR AT HUGH'S ROOM IN TORONTO
CELEBRATING MARCH IS CABARET MONTH

International cabaret star Barb Jungr will perform at HUGH'S ROOM (2261 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-531-6604) on Tuesday, March 12th at 8:30 pm. With rave international reviews and two prestigious New York awards (2008 Nightlife Award for Outstanding Cabaret Vocalist and Best International Artist 2003 Backstage Award), Barb Jungr is renowned for her unique vocal style, interpretation of song and radical approach to arrangements. Her acclaimed releases on Linn Records and Naim Label, and "revelatory" live performances have brought her to audiences all around the world. The CD The Man In The Long Black Coat - Barb Jungr Sings Bob Dylan was released in May, 2011 to excellent reviews. She toured throughout the UK and the USA in autumn 2011, performing in LA and Austin with return appearances in San Francisco and a two week run in New York. Her earlier Dylan collection, Barb Jungr Sings Bob Dylan: Every Grain of Sand was called "the most significant vocal album of the 21st century thus far," by the Wall Street Journal. In 2012, Barb worked on and completed her long awaited new release Stockport To Memphis with collaborators Simon Wallace and Jenny Carr. The album, released in October 2012, is biographical, drawing on Jungr's northwestern upbringing and celebrates elements of her musical and geographic journey. Born and raised in Rochdale and Stockport, Barb has worked with many of the finest musicians and composers in the UK, has toured all over the world with the British Council in the 1990s (Malawi, Cameroon, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Cote D'Ivoire, Sudan), appeared in Australia (2006, 2007 and a sellout tour in 2010), toured across Norway and Holland and performs regularly in New York and across the United States (several seasons at The Cafe Carlyle and Metropolitan Room and Joe's Pub, New York). There is a $45 cover.
