Through musical comedy, she reflects upon motherhood, divorce, returning to college after 25 years, religion, and shamelessly lowering her standards.

NYC: RETURN ENGAGEMENT OF LIFE, LOVE & ALL THAT JAZZ

Debra Vogel returns to DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) to present one more return performance of her acclaimed show, 'Life, Love & All That Jazz, at New York'. Performance is scheduled for Saturday, June 4th at 4:00 pm. After performing before four full houses in September and December, Debra returns by popular demand. Charming and effervescent, she brings her unique warmth and humor back to the stage, taking us on a roller coaster ride of life and relationships. Singing songs by such diverse composers/ lyricists as Stephen Sondheim, Tom Waits, and John Pizzarelli & Jessica Molaskey, Ms. Vogel wraps her versatile voice around both comic and heartfelt lyrics, exploring the risks and rewards of living and loving to the hilt. A seasoned performer throughout the New York region, Ms. Vogel was half of the popular musical duo, O'Connor & Vogel (with Brian Tom O'Connor). Hailed by Cabaret Hotline Online as one of the "masters at her craft", whose shows regularly sell out, she offers a tonic to heartbreak while rejoicing in the unpredictability of love and life. A talented character actress, she engages audiences with her honesty, wit, and spark. Joining Ms. Vogel on her vocal romp is musical director Darryl Curry, providing sterling accompaniment and arrangements. Theater director Elfin Vogel, (co-founder of Block & Tackle Productions), endows the production with a clear eye to the emotional core of each song. And choreographer Nora Brown's musical staging keeps the show spirited and tight. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

It is something of an audio calling card, the perfect representation of who she is and the musicians in her band. Her musical journey began as a child while growing up in Nebraska. During her formative years Carolyn sang in her school choirs and studied voice. Both of her parents were gifted musicians. After graduation, the lure of a bigger city drew her to Dallas, Texas where she pursued a successful 1st career in retailing for luxury stores. Carolyn traveled the world and continued to seek out music-related opportunities by producing and performing jazz shows while on the road. In 2008, she made the decision to pursue music full time as a jazz vocalist and band leader. With influences ranging from Julie London, Anita O'Day and Shirley Horn to Tony Bennett, Diana Krall and Laura Nyro, Carolyn Lee Jones is a melodic jazz-pop singer-stylist with a combination of rich and expressive vocals. A vibrant vocalist with a love of both jazz and modern music, Carolyn's eclectic repertoire includes beautiful renditions of familiar standards from the Great American Songbook, the evolution of vintage retro pop songs into the jazz context and new material. Carolyn performs with her ensembles at a variety of venues, festivals, and for corporate and private events. Her extensive repertoire, combined with an outstanding band of musicians are her ingredients for a successful performance. Call for showtime, reservations and information.

Elaine Brier brings her new show 'Put Your Funny Where Your Mouth Is' to THE CUTTING ROOM (44 East 32nd Street, NYC - 212-691-1900) on Saturday, June 18th at 7:30 pm. Elaine Brier is a singer/ comic who has been entertaining people with inappropriate material for longer than she cares to remember. A native New Yorker from the Bronx, she attended the High School of Music and Art to study vocal music and did not dance on a table even once. She started her performing career in the 90's, singing in local New York City piano bars and practicing the fine art of shtick. Elaine has done many other things over the years such as voice overs, commercials, television, corporate gigs, birthing babies, etc., but performing for a live audience is still where her passion lies. She won the Backstage Bistro Award in 2003 for her one woman show, "Jirque du Soleil," and was given the MAC Award for "Best Piano Bar Performer" in 2015. She has been a staple at Don't Tell Mama Piano Bar for over 20 years and is very happy to have it as her second home. Elaine has three kids and hopes to write some songs that they are allowed to listen to some day. Put Your Funny Where Your Mouth Is is Elaine's first venture out of the piano bar since her children usurped her life. Through musical comedy, she reflects upon motherhood, divorce, returning to college after 25 years, religion, and shamelessly lowering her standards. This show contains all new material and she is very excited to inflict it upon the masses. There is a $25 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.
