Sound Series: An Evening with Nellie McKay

About this event

We welcome back the inimitable singer/songwriter, Nellie McKay for a special retrospective set, playing songs across her varied catalogue. Since Get Away from Me (2004), McKay has released nine eclectic albums, ranging from pop to jazz to rock & folk, always defying categorization. Her music has been used on radio, TV and in the movies, and she has appeared on many shows, from The Late Show with David Letterman to A Prairie Home Companion, as well as writing and performing acclaimed bios of Barbara Graham, Rachel Carson, Billy Tipton and Joan Rivers. McKay is also a dedicated advocate for animal rights, feminism, civil rights and environmental protection. “A renegade songwriter with an ultraflexible Great American Songbook sensibility. McKay finds modern resonances everywhere.” – Rolling Stone Nellie McKay’s performance begins at 8 p.m.
