FORT SALEM, NY: FORT SALEM CABARET PRESENTS KERI ALONZO: GIRL SINGER

Classically trained Ft. Salem, NY musician, Keri Alonzo, debuts her new cabaret, 'Keri Alonzo: Girl Singer' at The CABARET AT FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200), on Saturday, November 21st, at 8:00 pm. The now "politically incorrect" label, "girl singer," was once the affectionate term applied to the women who sang with popular touring dance and big bands during the first half of the twentieth century. Icons such as Billie Holiday, Doris Day and Rosemary Clooney started their recording, movie, and celebrity careers by standing up and singing in front of bandleaders the likes of as Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, and Duke Ellington. Finding her love for music as a high schooler, moonlighting with the Stillwater Players in ingenue theater leads in The Sound of Music, The King and I, and The Fantastiks, Keri (then) Behan headed to Ithaca College for her Bachelors of Music degree. She was serious enough to pursue and earn a Masters' Degree in Opera Performance at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music twelve years ago. Her 2003 performance there, in Thomas Pasatieri's opera, The Seagull, drew the attention and acclaim of the New York Times and New York Magazine. The CD released by Albany Records, with the Manhattan School cast, remains the only recording of the opera After a short time in Manhattan, Keri returned to Mechanicville, NY, married local fireman and fireworks guru Jeff Alonzo, helped raise his two boys, and then gave birth to their son, Andrew. Once Andrew was in kindergarten, she revived her singing career, performing her one-woman show last year at Fort Salem Theater and Panza's Restaurant on Saratoga Lake, where lucky diners sometimes catch her sitting in for an evening of vocals. Alonzo mourns in her opening number that she was born at least fifty years too late to even contemplate a career as a "girl singer," although in her show she does salute several gals who, like herself, were also a little too young to sing with the swing bands, but were, nonetheless, heirs to the tradition: Karen Carpenter, Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, and Donna Summer. Thus, her selections run the gamut from Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz" and Clooney's "Tenderly" to Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" and Linda Ronstadt's "Skylark." Doors open at 7:30 pm for dessert and coffee, included in the price of admission and catered by Norene and Fred's of Salem; the music begins at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $25.

NYC: TRACY STARK & MARCUS SIMEONE - "ON SACRED GROUND: THE SONGS OF JANIS IAN"

Two of today's most honored and prolific performers, Tracy Stark & Marcus Simeone, present a first in cabaret: 'On Sacred Ground: The Songs of Janis Ian' at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Saturday, Noember 21st at 4:00 pm. Janis Ian learned the truth at seventeen. With influences from folk pioneers like Joan Baez, Odetta and a bevy of activists and artists, she began writing songs at a very young age. When she released "Society's Child" in 1967, she received hate mail and death threats in addition to a radio station (in Atlanta) being burned down due to the controversial nature of the song's lyrics about an interracial romance. Many stations refused to add the song to their play lists. The song won her the first of two Grammy awards. After two previous attempts, the song became a runaway hit when Leonard Bernstein featured it in a CBS television special. It was only the beginning. At 16, she met Bill Cosby while touring with a chaperone (due to her age.) The shy teen often slept with her head on the chaperone's lap. Mr. Cosby petitioned television stations not to allow her on the air due to her bad influence as a result of her "lesbianism." A few years later, she would be the very very first musical artist to appear on the debut of Saturday Night Live. Hers has been a remarkable, outspoken, non-stop career that remains active to this day. Revered artists like Barbara Cook, Dame Shirley Bassey, Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, Nina Simone • and Cher - have all recorded Janis Ian's songs to great acclaim. She remains one of today's most respected female songwriters in a crowded field. For the first time in cabaret, On Sacred Ground - starring Marcus Simeone and Tracy Stark, pays overdue tribute to the lady who broke glass ceilings and made a lasting impact on generations. Her best selling autobiography (At Seventeen) won a Grammy (Best Spoken Word.) This homage to Janis Ian will feature familiar and rarely heard songs, including "Between The Lines," "Matthew," "Getting Over You," "This Train Still Runs," "Silly Habits," "When Angels Cry," "Jesse," "She Must Be Beautiful," "At Seventeen," "Stars" - and "Society's Child." Marcus Simeone is one of today's brightest lights in cabaret. Renowned for his multi-octave, expressive tenor and his unique ability to sing in many genres, he has received countless accolades. He recently made his Carnegie Recital Hall debut. Also a respected songwriter and recording artist, he will soon be releasing his sixth album on Miranda Music. Tracy Stark has won numerous awards for her distinguished work as a pianist, arranger and songwriter. She has accompanied a plethora of artists, including Lesley Gore, Phoebe Snow, Karen Black, Tovah Feldshuh and Barb Jungr. Her upcoming CD, on Miranda Music, is a collection of original songs titled "Shades of Beautiful." Lennie Watts directs, with Peter Calo on Guitar, Skip Ward on Bass and Mark Leitz on Percussion. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: "OUR SINATRA: A MUSICAL CELEBRATION" - A RETURN ENGAGEMENT AT CAFE NOCTAMBULO 

"Our Sinatra: A Musical Celebration," the critically acclaimed musical saluting and honoring the music of Frank Sinatra, will mark its 15th Anniversary (2000-2015) and celebrate the Centennial (1915-2015) of one of our greatest American vocalists in a return engagement of the award- winning production. Beginning Friday, November 13th (and playing through December 26th), original cast members Eric Comstock and Christopher Gines will be joined by jazz vocalist Harmony Keeney to offer an evening of swinging tunes and romantic ballads from Ol' Blue Eyes at CAFE NOCTAMBULO AT PANGEA (178 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-995-0900). Performances are Fridays & Saturdays at 7:00 & 9:00 pm. (There are no shows on December 4th). Our Sinatra is a celebration of the magic and music of the legendary Frank Sinatra. The show features over 50 Sinatra classics including such songs from his early years as All or Nothing at All (his very first recording), I'll Never Smile Again and Oh, Look at Me Now; from his movie career (My Kind of Town, All the Way); his saloon songs (One for My Baby, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning); and his hits from the 50s & 60s (Night and Day, Fly Me to the Moon, The Lady is a Tramp). Conceived by Eric Comstock, Hilary Kole and Christopher Gines, Our Sinatra originally opened at the Algonquin Hotel's famed Oak Room in August of 1999 before it was expanded as an Off-Broadway show at the Blue Angel Theatre in December of 1999. By the time it finished its run in July 2002 it had amassed 1,114 performances. Our Sinatra played off-Broadway at the legendary Birdland Jazz Club from November 2003 through March 2004. In addition to the New York productions over the past fifteen years and its two national tours, Our Sinatra has played at numerous theatres around the Country. The show played a sold out celebratory 10th anniversary production at the famed Algonquin Hotel and followed with a reunion at Feinstein's At The Regency in January of 2012. In 2013, Our Sinatra enjoyed a triumphant engagement in Saugatuck, Michigan featuring Tony DeSare, as well as a week at 54 Below. The most recent engagements include a sold out week at Birdland in July 2014 and at the Emelin Theatre in Mamaroneck, New York in February 2015. Directed by Kurt Stamm with Production Supervision by Richard Maltby, Jr., Our Sinatra is produced by Jack Lewin and Christopher Gines. There is a $50-$70 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.

HOTLINE MEMBER CABARET EVENT TONIGHT IN 
FORT SALEM, NY: 
FORT SALEM CABARET PRESENTS KERI ALONZO: GIRL SINGER

Classically trained Ft. Salem, NY musician, Keri Alonzo, debuts her new cabaret, 'Keri Alonzo: Girl Singer' at The CABARET AT FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200), on Saturday, November 21st, at 8:00 pm. The now "politically incorrect" label, "girl singer," was once the affectionate term applied to the women who sang with popular touring dance and big bands during the first half of the twentieth century. Icons such as Billie Holiday, Doris Day and Rosemary Clooney started their recording, movie, and celebrity careers by standing up and singing in front of bandleaders the likes of as Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, and Duke Ellington. Finding her love for music as a high schooler, moonlighting with the Stillwater Players in ingenue theater leads in The Sound of Music, The King and I, and The Fantastiks, Keri (then) Behan headed to Ithaca College for her Bachelors of Music degree. She was serious enough to pursue and earn a Masters' Degree in Opera Performance at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music twelve years ago. Her 2003 performance there, in Thomas Pasatieri's opera, The Seagull, drew the attention and acclaim of the New York Times and New York Magazine. The CD released by Albany Records, with the Manhattan School cast, remains the only recording of the opera After a short time in Manhattan, Keri returned to Mechanicville, NY, married local fireman and fireworks guru Jeff Alonzo, helped raise his two boys, and then gave birth to their son, Andrew. Once Andrew was in kindergarten, she revived her singing career, performing her one-woman show last year at Fort Salem Theater and Panza's Restaurant on Saratoga Lake, where lucky diners sometimes catch her sitting in for an evening of vocals. Alonzo mourns in her opening number that she was born at least fifty years too late to even contemplate a career as a "girl singer," although in her show she does salute several gals who, like herself, were also a little too young to sing with the swing bands, but were, nonetheless, heirs to the tradition: Karen Carpenter, Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, and Donna Summer. Thus, her selections run the gamut from Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz" and Clooney's "Tenderly" to Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" and Linda Ronstadt's "Skylark." Doors open at 7:30 pm for dessert and coffee, included in the price of admission and catered by Norene and Fred's of Salem; the music begins at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $25.

HOTLINE MEMBER CABARET EVENT TODAY AT 4:00 PM IN NYC: TRACY STARK & MARCUS SIMEONE - "ON SACRED GROUND: THE SONGS OF JANIS IAN"

HOTLINE MEMBER CABARET EVENT TODAY AT 4:00 PM IN NYC: TRACY STARK & MARCUS SIMEONE - "ON SACRED GROUND: THE SONGS OF JANIS IAN"

Two of today's most honored and prolific performers, Tracy Stark & Marcus Simeone, present a first in cabaret: 'On Sacred Ground: The Songs of Janis Ian' at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Saturday, Noember 21st at 4:00 pm. Janis Ian learned the truth at seventeen. With influences from folk pioneers like Joan Baez, Odetta and a bevy of activists and artists, she began writing songs at a very young age. When she released "Society's Child" in 1967, she received hate mail and death threats in addition to a radio station (in Atlanta) being burned down due to the controversial nature of the song's lyrics about an interracial romance. Many stations refused to add the song to their play lists. The song won her the first of two Grammy awards. After two previous attempts, the song became a runaway hit when Leonard Bernstein featured it in a CBS television special. It was only the beginning. At 16, she met Bill Cosby while touring with a chaperone (due to her age.) The shy teen often slept with her head on the chaperone's lap. Mr. Cosby petitioned television stations not to allow her on the air due to her bad influence as a result of her "lesbianism." A few years later, she would be the very very first musical artist to appear on the debut of Saturday Night Live. Hers has been a remarkable, outspoken, non-stop career that remains active to this day. Revered artists like Barbara Cook, Dame Shirley Bassey, Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, Nina Simone • and Cher - have all recorded Janis Ian's songs to great acclaim. She remains one of today's most respected female songwriters in a crowded field. For the first time in cabaret, On Sacred Ground - starring Marcus Simeone and Tracy Stark, pays overdue tribute to the lady who broke glass ceilings and made a lasting impact on generations. Her best selling autobiography (At Seventeen) won a Grammy (Best Spoken Word.) This homage to Janis Ian will feature familiar and rarely heard songs, including "Between The Lines," "Matthew," "Getting Over You," "This Train Still Runs," "Silly Habits," "When Angels Cry," "Jesse," "She Must Be Beautiful," "At Seventeen," "Stars" - and "Society's Child." Marcus Simeone is one of today's brightest lights in cabaret. Renowned for his multi-octave, expressive tenor and his unique ability to sing in many genres, he has received countless accolades. He recently made his Carnegie Recital Hall debut. Also a respected songwriter and recording artist, he will soon be releasing his sixth album on Miranda Music. Tracy Stark has won numerous awards for her distinguished work as a pianist, arranger and songwriter. She has accompanied a plethora of artists, including Lesley Gore, Phoebe Snow, Karen Black, Tovah Feldshuh and Barb Jungr. Her upcoming CD, on Miranda Music, is a collection of original songs titled "Shades of Beautiful." Lennie Watts directs, with Peter Calo on Guitar, Skip Ward on Bass and Mark Leitz on Percussion. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

FORT SALEM, NY: FORT SALEM CABARET PRESENTS KERI ALONZO: GIRL SINGER

Classically trained Ft. Salem, NY musician, Keri Alonzo, debuts her new cabaret, 'Keri Alonzo: Girl Singer' at The CABARET AT FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200), on Saturday, November 21st, at 8:00 pm. The now "politically incorrect" label, "girl singer," was once the affectionate term applied to the women who sang with popular touring dance and big bands during the first half of the twentieth century. Icons such as Billie Holiday, Doris Day and Rosemary Clooney started their recording, movie, and celebrity careers by standing up and singing in front of bandleaders the likes of as Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, and Duke Ellington. Finding her love for music as a high schooler, moonlighting with the Stillwater Players in ingenue theater leads in The Sound of Music, The King and I, and The Fantastiks, Keri (then) Behan headed to Ithaca College for her Bachelors of Music degree. She was serious enough to pursue and earn a Masters' Degree in Opera Performance at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music twelve years ago. Her 2003 performance there, in Thomas Pasatieri's opera, The Seagull, drew the attention and acclaim of the New York Times and New York Magazine. The CD released by Albany Records, with the Manhattan School cast, remains the only recording of the opera After a short time in Manhattan, Keri returned to Mechanicville, NY, married local fireman and fireworks guru Jeff Alonzo, helped raise his two boys, and then gave birth to their son, Andrew. Once Andrew was in kindergarten, she revived her singing career, performing her one-woman show last year at Fort Salem Theater and Panza's Restaurant on Saratoga Lake, where lucky diners sometimes catch her sitting in for an evening of vocals. Alonzo mourns in her opening number that she was born at least fifty years too late to even contemplate a career as a "girl singer," although in her show she does salute several gals who, like herself, were also a little too young to sing with the swing bands, but were, nonetheless, heirs to the tradition: Karen Carpenter, Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, and Donna Summer. Thus, her selections run the gamut from Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz" and Clooney's "Tenderly" to Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" and Linda Ronstadt's "Skylark." Doors open at 7:30 pm for dessert and coffee, included in the price of admission and catered by Norene and Fred's of Salem; the music begins at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $25.
