“A sultry jazz croon, a singer-songwriter’s naturalism, a crisp operetta declamation and a rapper’s fast rhymes.”—The New York Times on Nellie McKay
Thursday, February 18 at 8:30
The Allen Room
Naughty-but-nice Nellie McKay celebrates the release of her new album, Normal as Blueberry Pie—A Tribute to Doris Day. Whether singing her own 21st-century love songs or reinterpreting standards, McKay has an impeccably smooth voice and undeniable talent at the piano, incorporating flavors of rock, pop, jazz, and more.
This performance is approximately 80 minutes, with no intermission.

"Nellie's cover of The Black Hills of Dakota wonderfully romanticized the song. Compared to Doris Day's version, it stands out on its own instead of mimicking Ms. Day."
