NYC: NANCY HARMS: "ELLINGTON AT NIGHT

"Ellington At Night" will be presented at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Tuesday, September 1st at 7:00 pm. "Nightlife", Duke Ellington once said, "is cut out of a very luxurious, royal-blue bolt of velvet. It sparkles with jewels, and it sparkles in tingling and tinkling tones." Vocalist Nancy Harms will offer a stunning new hour of the immortal Duke's melodies, specially selected to illustrate that "luxurious royal blue" quality. In this new show, Nancy lends her luxuriant touch to the interpretation of a number of Ellington anthems and rarities, specially selected by Nancy and arranged for this concert by pianist-composer (and frequent Harms collaborator) Jeremy Siskind, who accompanies Nancy with his trio. "I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good", "Prelude To A Kiss", "Rocks In My Bed", and "Strange Feeling" are just a few of the songs to be presented by Nancy and company on this very special night. Presentation created and produced by Nancy Harms and Arne Fogel. In a relatively short time, Nancy Harms has distinguished herself as one of the most uniquely gifted young jazz vocalists on the East Coast. Born and raised in the tiny Midwestern town of Clara City, Minnesota, Nancy had no exposure to jazz as a child, no connections to the music via family or education. Though she was singing for small public gatherings by the age of four, it wasn't until attending Concordia College in Moorhead, MN that Harms discovered jazz. Though this discovery would change her life, Nancy made no immediate decision to pursue a jazz-performing career after college. Instead, she taught elementary music in another small Minnesota town for a few years; a move that was more along the lines of what was expected of a girl from Clara City. Nancy ultimately became disillusioned and discontented, however, and within her grew the conviction that another kind of musical life was awaiting her. She followed her instinct and her passion, left her teaching career, and moved to Minneapolis in 2006, where she immersed herself in Minneapolis - St. Paul's local jazz scene, and by early 2007, people in the community were taking notice. Nancy learned fast over the next three and a half years, honing her style and developing her chops. Before long, she was a major Twin Cities jazz attraction, regularly working in major jazz clubs and concerts, earning terrific reviews and critic's accolades. In 2009 she released "IN THE INDIGO", her first CD, and Minnesota's most popular and highly acclaimed jazz vocal release of that year. Nancy's career in NYC began with a sold-out appearance in the summer of 2010 at the "Bar Next Door" on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, with classy accompaniment by former Minnesotan Michael O'Brien on bass and NY guitar legend Paul Bollenback. Nancy's dedication to jazz is complete. She is abundantly gifted, and her interpretations reveal her to be a fine actor as well, as she possesses a natural ability to movingly express the meaning of any song. A gifted jazz specialist and an intuitively brilliant interpretive artist. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: ANTHONY RAPP - UNPLUGGED AT 54 BELOW

One of Broadway's most celebrated rock and rollers, Anthony Rapp (Broadway's If/Then; Six Degrees of Separation; Rent; You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown) brings his new Unplugged evening of stories and songs to 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) on Tuesday, September 2nd, at 7:00 pm. He is joined by musical director Dan Weiss. Unplugged audiences can expect to hear some of the great songs that have inspired Anthony. And what evening with Anthony Rapp would be complete without hearing some iconic songs from Rent and Hedwig & The Angry Inch? There is a $45-$90 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.

NYC: WASHINGTON D.C.'S LA-TI-DO AT 54 BELOW

It's that time of the month for La-Ti-Do: WINNER of DC Metro Theater Arts' Special Award 2012-2014. This month La-Ti-Do debuts at 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) on Tuesday, September 1st at 9:30 pm featuring some of both Washington, DC and New York's finest musical and spoken word talent.

NYC: LYNN HENDERSON'S "IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE" CD AVAILABLE

Lynn Henderson's memories as a singer date back to grade school when she wore out a recording of "It's Magic" singing along with Doris Day. Throughout her life, singing has been her passion. From big band vocalist to saloon singer to Handel soloist to cabaret singer, it has all been a joy! The chapters of her life from single New Yorker to wife, mom, equestrienne, businesswoman, divorcee and world traveler all contribute to her selection of songs that speak to me. Life has given Lynn a finer appreciation of great songs and a deeper understanding of what the extraordinary musical poets are telling us. Welcome to Lynn's world!

Lynn's new CD, titled "If We Only Have Love", was released on September 15, 2014. Since enjoying these songs with her audiences and wonderful musicians over the last couple of years at the Metropolitan Room in New York City and all over CT., Lynn has been encouraged to share them with a larger audience.

You can purchase the CD at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lynnhenderson2

Adoption is expensive. Statistics say that an average adoption costs upwards of $30,000. The magnitude and uncertainty of these expenses is a significant obstacle standing in the way of permanent homes for the more than 150 million children around the globe who need parents. Through the generous contributions of donors, Helpusadopt.org is able to assist others in overcoming the financial obstacles they face when seeking to adopt. Helpusadopt.org's average grant is approximately $8,500 and since the organization's launch in 2007, Helpusadopt.org has helped to build 134 families by awarding over $1,000,000 in total adoption grants.
