I am a Singer Songwriter seduced by life, by all of it, romantic relationships of course, but also long marriages, children, friends, and the connections born in the sacred collaboration of making art. I have written this cabaret of my original 14 songs and several other songs in English, French, Spanish, and Italian. Directed by Lina Koutrakos, Music Direction by Daryl Kojak, with Daryl Kojak on piano, Sean Harkness on guitar, Sean Conly on bass, Jack Bashkow on saxophone and flute, and Dan Aran on drums and percussion. November 2nd at Pangea Supper Club, 178 Second Avenue, New York, 7pm. Come be seduced!
AUDREY APPLEBY
From Paris to Rio to Spain, Audrey’s evocative storytelling mix of her original songs and Jazz standards in English and the Romance languages wisks the listener off on seductive flights of fancy where thought-provoking insights meet playful whimsy, revealing deeper truths and touching our hearts with a wink and a knowing smile, speaking to the passion, romance, and longing in everyone’s soul. Added to that, her recent experience with the loss of her Husband has brought a grounding of insight, hope, and inspiration to go on and face the twists and turns of life’s roller coaster ride. She is the recipient of an ASCAP/MAC award by Michael Kerker for original song MIAMI MOSAIC, as well as pick of the week in Paris Time Out Magazine during her European Tour. Her album LADIES CHEAP COCKTAILS was masterfully turned into a one woman show at Pangea NYC by her brilliant and inspired Director, Lina Koutrakos, and Music Director Daryl Kojak, with both of whom Audrey has now created her new show of originals and standards, LIFE…A Seduction Tour. Audrey has performed in New York at Pangea, at Steinway Hall breaking a 100 year classical music only tradition, BargeMusic under the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as at The Ballroom, Rockwood Music Hall, The Triad, and Top Of The Tower at The Beekman Tower Hotel. She has performed in Paris at Caveau De La Huchette, Cafe Universel, Autour Du Midi Et Minuit, Peniches Barges Balle Au Bond and Le Calife, Chez Papa, Le Bilboquet, The American Embassy in Lyon, France, and at The Gardenia in LA. Often compared to a mix of Joni Mitchell meets Astrud Gilberto, Audrey’s music invokes the combined mystique of world traveler meets romance novel heroine… it is a ticket out of ordinary reality into the realm of unabashed fantasy, with a heavy dose of joie de vivre to dance with tragedy and keep blooming.
“This set is all of a piece in a way that so few sets are. Her original songs derive from keen observations of her own experience and others in love- or, let’s face it, lust. Appleby is a Romantic with a capital “R,” and her melodies, while nicely varied, do all seem to somehow evoke France, Italy, Spain, the Caribbean, or Latin America.” – Robert Windeler, Bistroawards.com
“There’s so much love and lust here, we hope it’s all autobiographical.”– Paulanne Simmons, theatrelife.com
