NYC: 54 BELOW PRESENTS THE SONGS OF YANDURA & MELOCIK

An immensely talented and utterly charming songwriting duo Jacob Yandura and Rebekah Greer Melocik are due for a moment in the spotlight. Their debut performance at 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) on Monday, February 16th at 9:30 pm will offer a first look at their three newest musicals: The Last Queen of Canaan, about a young girl's search for agency amidst the landscape of racial and social inequality in the 1930s; Feral, a reaction to the numbing dissatisfaction that results from our never-ending quest to become smarter, stronger, healthier, wealthier, better in all conceivable ways; and Wringer, a story about connection, told through the lens of a 10-year-old boy who forges a powerful bond with a pigeon. Presented together, these pieces offer a perfect sampling of the Yandura & Melocik brand: universal themes explored in unexpected contexts, lush and lyrical compositions that show impressive musical range (from pop to folk to gospel), and the excavation of shadows to expose a message of hopefulness and light. After just one evening with Jacob and Rebekah, you will fall in love with them and their work (and it is only a matter of time before the rest of the world follows suit.). The Songs of Yandura & Melocik will be performed by Margo Seibert (Rocky), Betsy Morgan (Found, Les Miserables), Christine Dwyer (Wicked), Mykal Kilgore (Motown), Katrina Rose Dideriksen (Hairspray), Eric William Morris (The Last Goodbye), and Marja Harmon (The Book of Mormon), with additional performers to be announced. The concert will feature music direction by Matt Gallagher and is produced by Erica Rotstein. There is a $25-$55 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
