Joanna
Parson and her Merry Band Present Songs & Comedy in DON'T TELL
MAMA
June
10, 2001 - New York, NY: Singer/Songwriter/Comedian Joanna Parson
and her Merry Band will be performing original songs and comedy at
DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 -
http://www.donttellmama.com/) on Tuesdays, June 12th, 19th and
26th - all shows at 9:00 pm. Ms. Parson will be accompanied by Van
Zeiler on guitar, Sam McPherson on bass, Mary Rodriguez on percussion,
and additional vocals from Liana Reda. Joanna has received production
and directing support from fellow cabaret performer James Beaman ("Black
Market Marlene").
The one-hour performance
is a funny and hip collection of songs and comic monologues, all written
by Parson. Her 1999-2000 act at Don't Tell Mama, "What Good Girls
Get," performed to capacity crowds, garnered rave reviews including
a New York Post Cabaret Pick, and extended its original four week
run to eight weeks. Returning to New York after touring with the National
Tour of "Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story," Parson will feature seven
new songs with an expanded band, as well as comedy originally performed
at the "Poole Party," with the "Jack Donahue and Friends" show in
February, and when she opened for Jerry Seinfeld at Gotham Comedy
Club's "Break-Up Girl Live."
Parson's folk-guitar-based
act also brings characters familiar to her growing fan base back to
the stage, with songs like "Jewel's Got My Gig," about the sisterhood
and jealousy that can go hand in hand in the music world, and "Johnny,"
sung to an ex-boy friend from a position exactly three feet and one
restraining order away from his bedroom window.
