Tin Pan Alley Time Tour 2014 accentuates the positive in a lighthearted travelogue through popular song from 1906 to 1946. The tour includes stops at familiar destinations and out-of-the-way places that highlight the good humor and wit found in the Great American Songbook, from syncopated scariness and outright silliness to the sophistication of Cole Porter and the drollery of Rodgers and Hart. Tin Pan Alley Time Tours are thematic excursions through popular song in the first half of the 20th century. They take audiences back in time through images, films, and performance styles that recall the era in which the songs first appeared. Vocalist Marion Markham, whose versatility ranges from chatty patter to heartfelt blues, leads the tour with a variety of characters, while pianist Michael Campbell recreates the styles of each era with meticulous reconstructions of recordings and piano rolls. Vintage film footage sets the tone and offers a glimpse of popular culture and its influence on The American Songbook. Call for cover/minimum information.
