NYC: MIRA AWAD, JEFF HARNAR, AND KEN SLAVIN AT THE MET - AN INTERNATIONAL CABARET FESTIVAL EVENT

Mira Awad, Jeff Harnar and Ken Slavin will perform at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Sunday, February 21st at 4:00 pm as part of the first International Cabaret Festival, sponsored by Cabaret Scenes Magazine - which closes today. The event has drawn dozens of performers at clubs across NYC, coming together to celebrate the unique art of cabaret. Internationally acclaimed Arab-Israeli singer/ songwriter Mira Awad sings songs that reflect her unique perspective as a Palestinian Arab citizen of Israel. Weaving her passions for folk, rock and traditional Middle Eastern music, Awad, who sings in English and Arabic (with some Hebrew), creates a remarkable blend of sounds and sentiments that are as much exotic and magical as they are cosmopolitan. Jeff Harnar is an Award-winning New York cabaret and recording artist who is known for his critically acclaimed engagements at The Algonquin Hotel's Oak Room; Feinstein's at The Regency; The Metropolitan Room and most recently at Birdland and Iridium. His Carnegie Hall appearances include both the Cole Porter and Noel Coward Centennial Galas. He appeared at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall in a sold-out solo concert, and "A TALENT TO AMUSE" hosted by Sheridan Morely. Most recently he was Michael Feinstein's special guest in his Jule Styne tribute at Carnegie's Zankel Hall. Crooner Ken Slavin made his professional debut on the San Antonio River Walk in 1990 and since those early days, he has become one of the city's most popular classic jazz singers and has developed a fan base around the world. Although his smooth and intimate vocal style is often favorably compared to noted jazz vocalist Johnny Hartman or such legendary pop singers as Frank Sinatra, Matt Monro and Tony Bennett, he has steadfastly followed his own musical path, successfully finding a unique voice in a highly competitive industry. Over the past quarter century, Ken's dedication to singing has paid off in many exciting ways. Last year he became a voting member of The Recording Academy, which produces the GRAMMY Awards. He has produced five CDs, all of which are included on jazz radio playlists around the world and on cable TV's Music Choice service on the "Singers and Swing" channel. He has opened for such jazz stars as The Four Freshmen, Eddie Palmieri, David Sanborn and Chico Hamilton and performed in concert with the internationally acclaimed Jim Cullum Jazz Band and five-time Grammy Award winners Little Joe y La Familia. And he recently sang with the San Antonio Symphony at the Majestic Theatre during one of Fiesta's biggest and oldest events: the Coronation of the Queen of the Order of the Alamo. In 2013 he made his New York City debut at the world-famous Metropolitan Room and released a live CD to commemorate the occasion. Musical Director for the evening is Jon Delfin. There is a $24 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
