Bay Area Cabaret proudly presents the versatile singer, songwriter, and actress Nellie McKay in a special performance with San Francisco’s multiple Grammy winning a cappella ensemble, Chanticleer. Musical wanderlust, lyrical playfulness, and a beautiful Blossom Dearie voice characterize McKay’s music, which has been heard at Jazz at Lincoln Center, in Lincoln Center's prestigious American Songbook series, on the Broadway stage, and on television (Weeds, Grey’s Anatomy, Nurse Jackie, HBO's Boardwalk Empire). In her Venetian Room debut, McKay will perform a sampling of her original songs and with the help of the world-renowned Chanticleer, will take audiences to an earlier era as the two collaborate on familiar and lesser-known jazz titles.
