Cabaret
Performer Vickie Smith Returns to Don't Tell Mama
"BLUE SKIES" COMING
YOUR WAY
Singer
Vickie Smith is back with a new show, reflecting her sunny personality
called "Blue Skies." Accompanied by her new musical director, Bryon
Sommers, and the added talent of Frank Wagner on bass, the show runs
for four nights only at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC
- 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/),
on Sunday, February 17th at 3:00 pm, Tuesday, February 19th at 7:00
pm Saturday, February 23rd at 8:00 pm, and Wednesday February 27th
at 7:00 pm. There is a $12.00 cover charge, plus a 2-drink minimum.
Half-price cover for MAC and NYSMS members, and Seniors 65+.
A classically-trained
singer with an impressive range, Vickie loves to share her vocal talents
in a more intimate environment. Originally singing with swing-bands,
she discovered that this medium didn't offer her an opportunity to
connect with the audience. She then went on to perform for delighted
nursing home audiences, who could recall their youth while listening
to their favorite songs.
After graduating from
the Linda Amiel Burn's "Singing Experience" cabaret performance workshop,
Vickie was inspired to present her own show, "With a Smile and a Song,"
which won her a MAC nomination for Best New York Female Cabaret D¢but.
With an accent on jazz
and swing in this show, selections include "Stompin' at the Savoy,"
with additional Iyrics by Ann Hampton Callaway, "All the Way," her
own jazzed-up version of "New York State of Mind," incorporating rich
vocal harmonies, and, of course, an upbeat "Blue Skies."
Lesser-known treasures
in this unique blend of melodies include, "There They Are," a gem
found on the 70s hit album, "Funky Town," "Music Speaks Louder Than
Words," recorded only by Peter, Paul and Mary, and "Taro Patch Twist,"
a fun tune.
