92nd Street Y

The American Songbook has always sung America’s praises.

But it has also sung America’s pain, and its follies and foolishness. Ted Sperling explores the full spectrum of songs about America, from buoyant to bellicose, reaching back to Foster and forward to Dylan, giving new meaning to the "traditional American song."

Ted Sperling, artistic director & host
Jeffrey Klitz, music director & piano
Andrew Palermo, assistant director & choreographer

Lawrence Clayton, vocals
Kecia Lewis Evans, vocals
Jamie Leonhart, vocals
Clarke Thorell, vocals

Antoine Silverman, violin
Kevin Kuhn, guitar
Peter Donovan, bass
Warren Odze, drums

Rockwood Music Hall

We couldn't be more excited to reunite for this show.  Bronwen's northern departure signaled the end of Hey, Sailor! as we knew it, and no one wanted to go on without the whole unit intact.  But she will be bacl for just a few days, and we will be taking advantage of that.

Joe's Pub

Paul Brill is one of my favorite people.  Not only one of my favorite people, but one of my favorite musicians to boot.

This show marks the release of his latest record, "Breezy."  I love this record.  It's complex and tasty.  And rocking. And heartbreaking.

I sang on the record and will sing at the show.

Rockwood Music Hall

I'm assembling the finest of fine folks to come and play with me at my favorite intimate room, Rockwood Music Hall.

I had in mind to do a predominately jazz show, but now I've been feeling inspired in my writing and may rethink that.  Regardless, I promise to deliver.  You just have to show up.

With:

Michael Leonhart (piano & trumpet) Gary Wang (bass) and Marc Dalio (drums) and some other guests.

Rivoli

I'll be singing this weekend in "The Hills Are Alive," a magnificent show created by Brooklyn Rundfunk Orkestrata.  Imagine "The Sound of Music" filtered through progressive rock, jazz, gospel, and R&B, played by a kick-ass group (Peter Kiesewalter / keyboards, Richard Hammond / bass, Jeff Lipstein / drums, Matt Beck / guitar) and sung by myself, Victoria Cave and Dave Wall.  It's awesome.

If you are in Ottowa or Toronto COME!

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Rockwood Music Hall

I'll be joined one more time by the fantastic team of Matt Ray, Marc Dalio, Gary Wang and Deidre Rodman.  The occasion:  a hot summer night's show. 

This might be the last you'll hear from me for a few months as I continue to write and record, the "reveal" coming in decidedly colder months.

So come, join me and have a cold glass of something or another.

Joe's Pub

No question.  If I didn't sing with Paul, and know that I'd be there (and have a spot on the stage) I'd already have purchased my tickets for this show. He is wonderful, and plays infrequently.  Come.

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Rockwood Music Hall

I'll most likely be with a fearless trio featuring the fantastic piano stylings of Matt Ray.  Trying out songs in preparation for two separate recordings. Join me. 

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Rockwood Music Hall

I have been preparing for a new record (yes, I am still, stubbornly, going to say record, even though I never made one myself) and am excited to share new music, reconfigured songs and stolen moments with you.

Rockwood Music Hall (*STAGE II)

A late night psychedelic trip to the depths of the ocean via Bombay and Nigeria with the A7. 

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Rockwood Music Hall

I've been toying with the idea of a show of relatively unknown covers that "feel" like me -- songs I wish that I'd written -- songs I'm excited to discover, take apart, make my own, and present publicly as a piece of my musical and emotional expression.

I'll be joined by Michael Leonhart on piano with special guest Erik Friedlander on cello.

Joe's Pub

Isabel Rose is a tenacious powerhouse of a performer.  It's fun to reunite with her -- I performed a handful of shows with her and sang on a few tracks on her latest recording, "Swingin' From the Hip."

She's hot, her band is smokin' and we "support singers" ain't so bad either :)

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Rockwood Music Hall (*STAGE II)

I love singing with Paul. It is a magical, cynical, redemptive experience.  Not to mention that the rest of the band is breath-taking.

Rockwood Music Hall

My dear friend Ben Wagner has more energy and umph than most others I've ever met.  Not only does he hold down a full-time high-pressure job, but this year alone he has also managed to release a documentary, "Mr. Rogers & Me," run multiple marathons, HAVE A BABY, and (the reason for this show) release a CD entitled "Forever Young" -- here are Ben's words about this CD/CD release:

The record features many of my dearest friends lending their voices, guitars and keys. It is our intention to donate proceeds to The Fred Rogers Center and The Campaign For A Commercial-Free Childhood. Though neither is affiliated with the project in any way, we believe strongly in supporting their efforts towards advancing early learning and children’s media.

The complete “Forever Young” track list:

1 - The Rainbow Connection (featuring Amber Rubarth)
2 - Forever Young (featuring Emily Easterly)
3 - The Only Living Boy In New York (featuring Chris Abad)
4 - Mr. Tambourine Man (featuring Bryan Dunn)
5 - You Are My Sunshine (featuring Jason Walsmith & Becca Smith)
6 - Sweet Baby James (featuring Jeff Jacobson)
7 - You’ve Got A Friend (featuring Mai Bloomfield)
8 - Golden Slumbers (featuring Casey Shea)
9 - Amazing Grace (featuring Jamie Leonhart)
10 - Moon River

Rockwood Music Hall

Performing at Rockwood is a treat.  The biggest small venue in NY, to me.  The sound is impeccable, the staff phenomenal, the audience attentive and appreciative. 

So I'm so glad to be there, solo, again.

Please join me. I plan to keep it pretty smoldering and intimate. There will be some familiar tunes, and some less so. But you'll only know if you come.

So do.

I will play ukulele to my best ability, and sing.
You will join me, I hope.

Kay Ashley @ DROM

I will be part of a powerful 6-person choir for Kay's CD release show.
"Kay Ashley's gorgeous, moving "Heliotrope" occupies a charmed point triangulated by Joni Mitchell's "Hejira," Paul Simon's "Graceland," and Nick Drake's "Pink Moon." A master of stacked vocal harmonies and alternate guitar tunings, Ashley's melodies are instantly memorable yet devoid of cliché. At once a love letter to Africa, India, and men in her past, "Heliotrope" is a travelogue of the soul—betraying the influence of far-flung cultures while remaining both recognizably American and distinctly universal."
~Andrew Hultkrans, SPIN Magazine contributing writer

"A Holiday Benefit" is a CD featuring classic and original holiday music performed and recorded by some of NYC's best emerging musical talent including: Casey Shea, Kelley McRae, Brent Shuttleworth, Deena Goodman, Dov Rosenblatt, Rosi Golan, Ian Axel, Benjamin Wagner, Derek James, Kyle Paas, Bryan Dunn, Chris Abad, Nate Campany and ME!

Proceeds from this event and sales of the CD will benefit 826NYC, a Brooklyn based nonprofit dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and helping teachers inspire their students to write.

(Check out http://www.826nyc.org for more info)

This event will feature live performances by the above-named, djs, raffles, silent auctions, and other holiday fun. It’ll also be your first chance to buy the record!

What a fun show. It was great to hear so many wonderful artists in one night, in one space, for a good cause.

A lovely blog "You Sing, I Write" had some lovely things to say about the show...
"Jamie Leonhart took the stage next as Benjamin Wagner, host and creator of the annual concert series, introduced her as “one of the finest voices I know and one of the finest people I know.” Leonhart’s vocals are heavenly as she blends jazz, pop and soul together, making for a truly impressive set. Playing three songs off her debut album, The Truth About Suffering, Leonhard wowed the crowd. Comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin can be heard throughout Leonahart’s classically elegant tunes. (You can listen to some of her MP3’s here to see what I’m talking about.)"

very sweet - thank you Annie!

This will be a simple and poignant duo show with Michael Leonhart on piano - maybe one more instrument for color, but after the MASSIVE BLOW OUT on 10/10 at Joe's Pub (DON"T MISS THIS!) we'll quiet it down a bit.

I am delighted to announce that I just signed with Sunnyside Records (www.sunnysiderecords.com) to release this CD. The actual release date is not until January of 2008, but the kind folks at Sunnyside have made an exception for THIS ONE SHOW! The CD will be available only at this show, then not until January of 2008. So buy advance tickets on Joe's Pub website.
LET'S PACK THE PLACE AND GET YOUR PRE-RELEASE COPY OF THE CD!

SOLD OUT SHOW with such amazing folks surrounding me. I couldn't have imagined it feeling any better.

Joe's Pub was really happy -- so happy that we'll be doing the actual release there on January 31st, 2008. So, if you didn't get it/couldn't get in/want more, you will have the opportunity again!

THANK YOU!!!
