Birdland was thrilled to once again present singer/actress Karen Akers at the iconic club on Monday, May 27.

Rosemary Clooney's lifetime of music is explored in Carolyn Montgomery's thought-provoking, memory-stoking act GIRLSINGER, directed by Sally Mayes. Its second NYC presentation on May 22nd is updated and expanded from its opening night in January. It will be followed by bookings in Florida plus LA, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, & Seattle.

MAC, BackStage Bistro and Nightlife Award-winning singer Carolyn Montgomery paid tribute to Rosemary Clooney, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. She puts her own spin on Clooney classics without ever attempting to impersonate. See highlights from the May 22nd show taken by photographer Conor Weiss.

Chelsea Table + Stage continued its 'Box Set' of shows by Klea Blackhurs. With the May installment, she finds joy and pow with Jerry Herman's show tunes. Jerry Herman's lively life-affirming songs are a perfect fit for Blackhurst.

Another natural wonder has arrived and is creating a thunderous storm in New York.  I refer to the whirlwind known as singer Marilyn Maye and the vociferous reception that greeted her on the opening night of her already extended engagement celebrating her 96th birthday, running through May 6 at 54 Below. She remains sensational and spellbinding.
