TONIGHT IN NYC: LISA GUTKIN AND BAND AT THE METROPOLITAN
Violinist Lisa Gutkin performs at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Thursday, May 23rd at 9:30 pm. She is joined on stage by With Uri Sharlin - accordion & piano; Pete Rushefsky - tsimbl; and Remy Yulzari - double bass As the longtime violinist for the Klezmatics, the Grammy-winning outfit that has taken Jewish klezmer music to previously unimaginable places, Gutkin has consistently proven a masterful musician and a boundlessly creative force. For more than a decade, her astounding technique and unfettered, vibrant emotionalism have resided at the core of the band's recordings and live performances. But fans who have only witnessed Gutkin within the context of the Klezmatics have experienced just a fragment of what this multi-faceted artist is capable of producing. Gutkin is a musical wanderer who has played Argentinean tango and Italian Renaissance music, in rock and jazz bands, and with a variety of symphonies. She was a founding member of the downtown Celtic group Whirligig, and a long standing member of the Fast Folk house band. She has composed for film and television (including Sex and the City), and has teamed with such diverse artists as Natalie Merchant, Peter Knight of Steeleye Span, Jane Siberry, Elizabeth Swados, Richard Shindell, and the Irish artists Tommy Sands, John Whelan and Cathie Ryan. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
