NYC: JONATHAN KARRANT: "ON AND ON"
Jonathan Karrant performs songs from his recent album "On and On" as well as a collection of some of his favorite jazz standards from the American songbook atTHE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - ) on Saturday, March 15th at 7:00 pm. Jonathan is also known for digging deep and singing songs that, while well known and beloved, are not the typical standard. Audiences and critics have characterized Jonathan Karrant as a great interpreter of song, a storyteller, a singer who brings music and lyric alive. Some refer to Karrant as an amazing song-stylist who sings from the American songbook, an entertainer on his way to international success. Others say he paints a picture, he presents a mood and captivates a room through song. While only still in his twenties, he seems to have an innate and inside connection with music writers of the past, masters like Cole Porter (they share the same birthday), George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and Johnny Mercer, to mention a few. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
NYC: VICTORIA EDWARDS: CHANGE OF SEASON
Victoria Edwards brings her new show Change of Season to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - ) on Saturday, March 15th ay 9:30 pm. The show celebrates that next moment, that tingling excitement that comes by discovering what you love and how many pushups you're willing to grunt through to reach your goal. Told through rather funny personal stories and rockin' songs made famous by artists such as Michael Buble, Judy Garland, the Eagles, and P!nk, this show highlights the journey of a splendidly beautiful, maddeningly confusing, extraordinary, everyday life. Directed by Barry Kleinbort with musical direction by Christopher Denny. Victoria is also excited to have her sexy man-band back in action: Christopher North on Bass and Sean Harkness on Guitar. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
