CABARET STAR BARB JUNGR BRINGS BOB DYLAN SHOW TO NEW YORK
London's
Queen of cabaret, Barb Jungr makes her New York debut with an exclusive
limited run at THE FLEA THEATER (41 White Street, NYC - SmartTix at
212-206-1515) from September 24th through October 13th, Tuesdays through
Sunday evenings. Barb will be accompanied by New York pianist and
accordionist Charlie Giordano. Show time is 9:30 pm and the ticket
price is $20.00.
The singer, composer,
arranger, raconteur, ethno-musicologist and theater director has carved
out a unique musical niche that regularly leaves critics scrabbling
for reference points. From her early days on London's alternative
cabaret circuit, the first woman to win the prestigious Perrier Award
at the Edinburgh Fringe festival has dominated the British and increasingly
international cabaret scene with her unique approach to material and
performances. Sold-out crowds have packed Britain's cabaret clubs
to see her chansons interpretations of master songsmith Bob Dylan's
repertoire and her devastating performance re-contextualizes Dylan
up there with the best - Brel, Prœvert, Ferrœ.
Barb's current release,
"Every Grain of Sand - Barb Jungr sings Bob Dylan," will be available
in the U.S. on Allegro on September 3rd. Her previous album was the
acclaimed "Chanson : The Space In Between" which saw Barb interpreting
the songs of Jacques Brel with new English translations. The album
was cited by The London Sunday Times as one of the Top Ten Jazz CDs
of 2000 and is also available in the U.S.
