    Sean Harkness [elec. gtr] – Etienne Stadwijk [org]
    John Lenis [bs] – Yutaka Uchida [dr]
    We are improvising on songs that we grew up with.  Songs we love and that had strong impressions on us as kids.  We play Great American Songbook classics and standard pop repertoire all the time – in other places.  Somewhere between Jam-Band and Jeff Beck or John McLaughlin, Harkness picks up an electric guitar, kicks on some fun pedals, and fronts a very strong and colorful rhythm section.  With new arrangements at every show, you’ll hear songs by: The Beatles * Mr. Mister * The Cars * The Carpenters * Supertramp *  Gary Wright * 10cc * Grateful Dead * Jackson 5 * Joe Jackson * Willy Wonka * The Eagles * The Doors * Little River Band * Thomas Dolby * Level 42 * The * Zombies * Foreigner * The Who, and many more…

    A short walk from Grove Street PATH Station, this new venue is top shelf –  where musicians pop in on the way home from their gigs to see their friends.  The acoustics are great, equipment top notch, staff friendly, and the vibe just right.  The perfect home for us to open up these new arrangements – fresh ones every show!

    LOVE, NOËL

    THE SONGS AND LETTERS OF NOËL COWARD

    in the W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre

    An Entertainment Devised by Barry Day
    Directed by Charlotte Moore

    Starring Steve Ross and KT Sullivan

    July 27 – August 25, 2019

    “KT Sullivan is as vocally, comically and theatrically assured as contemporary performers get.” – The New Yorker

    Steve Ross is “the suavest of all male cabaret performers.” – The New York Times 

    Get to know the life and times of one of the 20th century’s most dynamic creative icons – Noël Coward – through this intimate performance in which Steve Ross and KT Sullivan transform into some of the many characters that made up Coward’s unique life…Gertrude Lawrence, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Elaine Stritch, Lynn Fontanne, Virginia Woolf, Edna Ferber, the Queen Mother, and, of course, The Master himself, Noël Coward.

    Through Coward’s songs, stories, and personal letters, cabaret legends Steve Ross and KT Sullivan will summon up timeless memories of an era that may be gone, but is never to be forgotten.

    This is the New York Premiere of Love, Noël: The Letters and Songs of Noël Coward, an original entertainment devised by Barry Day.
