NYC: DEANNA KIRK WILL PERFORM AT THE METROPOLITAN ROOM TONIGHT WITH NEW SHOW
2013 Bistro Award Winner Deanna Kirk will perform atTHE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - ) on Wednesday, June 18th at 9:30 pm with her show "Deanna Loves 'Bobby Short Loves Cole Porter'" John DiMartino serves as Musical Director on piano with Neal Miner bass. On a summer morning a few years ago, Deanna Kirk took the stage at her legendary music club Deanna's in New York City. The Steinway Grand piano that had once been delivered to the club by Blue Note recording artist Jackie Terresson, like everything else in the place, had been torched beyond recognition and then torn apart and drowned by the relentless blast of four different fire hoses. She caught a glimpse of herself in a broken mirror, one of the dozens that had once reflected candle light throughout the club for all of its five years, and she wondered what to salvage and what to leave behind. For five years Deanna performed for and with some of the biggest names in jazz (Roy Hargrove, Eartha Kitt, Cecil Taylor), rock music (Keith Richards, The Spin Doctors) and American culture (from Quentin Crisp to Matt Dillon and Sarah Jessica Parker to George Stephanopolous). Deanna's gave a home and a school to some of New York's most promising young musicians. There were no set times. No cover ever. The club was a non-stop musical exploration from sundown to sun up seven nights a week. It was there that Deanna recorded her first and only live jazz album, "Live at Deanna's," critically acclaimed by the press and jazz fans around the world. As her debut studio album climbed the charts, it was clear that Deanna's career would continue to flourish. She has proven herself a successful songwriter as well as an extraordinary singer. Deanna wrote and recorded her second studio album "Where Are You Now" for Blackbird/Elektra which also received critical acclaim. She toured North America with Jane Siberry. She signed a publishing deal with Bug Music and began to write and record for film and television soundtracks (Deanna's music has been featured in such television shows as Felicity, Hyperion Bay and Cupid and on such movie soundtracks as "Down To You" and "Me Myself I"). There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
