HOTLINE MEMBER CABARET EVENT TONIGHT IN NYC: SHEPLEY METCALF: GOING PLACES - AT THE MET
Shepley Metcalf and Ron Roy return to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM(34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:00 pm with a new show, GOING PLACES, a tour from Rhode Island to the Riviera, and beyond, via song. The duo will take you from London to New York to New Orleans, and from heartache to hilarity, with music by Joni Mitchell, Johnny Mercer, Stephen Sondheim, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Cole Porter, and other terrific songwriters. GOING PLACES explores travel in all its guises, and journeys by plane, by train, and by automobile. Metcalf and Roy presented "The Songs of Fran Landesman + Simon Wallace" at the Metropolitan Room in 2010. The show earned favorable reviews, and as did their album of these songs. In 2013 Shepley released "The Songs of Laura Nyro," an 8-song album recorded live at the Metropolitan Room with Janice Friedman on piano, Jim Whitney on bass, and Willard Dyson on drums. And last fall Metcalf and Roy celebrated their new album, "Don't Bother to Knock," little-known gems unearthed from the Great American Songbook, at (where else?) the Metropolitan Room. Roy is on the faculty at The Boston Conservatory and at The Tuscany Project, a vocal workshop held each summer in Italy. He and Metcalf met at The Tuscany Project (she was a student), and the Boston-based duo have performed together since 2008. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
