Daniel Rodriguez & The Jesse Lynch Trio will perform at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Wednesday, July 23rd at 7:00 pm. Daniel Rodriguez, you may recall, was the New York City cop who helped bring the country an uplifting spirit of promise and hope after the September 11th terrorist attacks with his stirring rendition of "God Bless America". At 16, he presented his first recital at Carnegie Hall; at 17, he was billed as the "17-year-old Baritone." Then, at age 19, he put music aside to raise his family, going to work to make ends meet. He worked at the post office, and then as a police officer in the New York City Police Department. It was in uniform that local New York audiences began to discover his voice and his passion for the music he sang. Before the events of 9/11, he was already quite well known around New York City as he had sung in "Broadway on Broadway," in local opera and musical theater productions. As an "official singer" for the NYPD Ceremonial Unit, he sang at many functions, and later, at memorials in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. After 9/11, then-New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, helped set up an audition with Placido Domingo. Daniel studied with Maestro Domingo and the staff at the Young Artist Program in Washington for a year and half. An established recording artist with five earlier solo CDs to his credit, Daniel released his first Spanish language album in June of 2013. On POR TI VOLARE, he lends his powerful tenor to the salsa music that he grew up with and sings a moving duet with his father on the Puerto Rican favorite "En Mi Viejo San Juan." The album features lively renditions of Spanish- language standards such as "Malaguena Solerosa," "Perfidia" and "Besame Mucho," as well as his rendition of the Andrea Bocelli-identified title track and a reprise of the tune sung in Italian. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
Chris Barrett returns to LA RIVISTA RISTORANTE (313 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-366-4603) on Monday, May 19th, where he will be at the piano Mondays through Wednesdays. There are two shows nightly, a dinner show at 8:00 and a supper show at 10:00 pm. Chris Barrett's performances are in the tradition of the great late-night boites of a fondly remembered era, when the likes of Hugh Shannon, Bobby Short, and Buddy Barnes manned the keyboard. There is no cover charge. CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE MEMBER EVENT
After two successful outings in June, Peggy Easton is back at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) on Wednesday, June 23rd at 7:00 pm. Eason, known on the cabaret scene since 2009, returns with "I'll Show Them All!" filled with insouciance, defiance and sheer fun! She is ready to show her audiences what she is all about with many stories to tell through her word pictures and soaring melodies. Miss Eason, blind since birth, has never let that interrupt her work or life. She has had an illustrious and varied career. She grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Mount Vernon, New York. An accomplished vocalist, Miss Eason is classically trained and began singing professionally from a very young age. She earned her Master's Degree in Voice and Music Education from the Manhattan School of Music, and pursued a career early on as a lyric soprano, singing in churches, at corporate and private events while working for the Division of Parole for the State of New York. Musical Director and pianist will be Mr. Steven Ray Watkins, and the director is Lennie Watts. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
