NYC: SHEPLEY METCALF - "DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK" CD RELEASE

Vocalist Shepley Metcalf is celebrating the release of her third recording, "Don't Bother to Knock," with a series of shows on the east coast this Fall. New Yorkers can catch Metcalf at the THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) for one show on Saturday, November 1st at 7:00 pm, singing music from the CD along with some other lesser-known gems from the Great American Songbook. Musical partner, Ron Roy, will be at the piano. "Don't Bother to Knock" is a dream project for Metcalf: a collection of songs from the 1930's to 50's with high charm factor that have been rarely recorded since their debut. Her love of song sleuthing means months and sometimes years of searching out and listening to unique music defined by humor, lovely melodies and clever lyrics. This singularity is a modus operandi that has served Metcalf well on her previous recordings and many performances, where fans can always count on hearing a carefully selected set no one else is performing on any bandstand, anywhere. For "Don't Bother to Knock" she found inspiration in artists of yore like Annette Hanshaw, Mildred Bailey and Anita O'Day and writers including Johnny Burke (with Harold Spina, "You're Not the Only Oyster in the Stew), Dorothy Fields (with Burton Lane, "Have Feet, Will Dance") and Richard Whiting (with George Marion Jr., "My Future Just Passed"). There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
