MAC Award and Broadway World nominee Dorian Woodruff brings his life as a musician and backing vocalist to the Pangea stage for performances in “Studio Musician: The Music of Manilow” on November 5 and 12, and December 10 and 17 at 7:00 p.m.
Whether you admit to being a Fanilow or not, I wager every one of you could sing at least one line of at least 10 Barry Manilow songs. So, I realized while putting together a show with only Barry Manilow music would mean an hour or so of slower, more heartfelt songs, I will just say, it’s a good thing neither Barry nor I are afraid of an epic ballad. Please join me as I share the music of one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. Lola, jingles, and more.
Woodruff has performed in clubs internationally with stops in Las Vegas, Nashville, London, Paris, and Berlin. In New York, He has appeared at Joe’s Pub, Feinstein’s 54 Below, Don’t Tell Mama, and Pangea. His shows ‘I Believe in Love’ and ‘Welcome Home: Everybody Has a Story’ were nominated for MAC awards. Woodruff has appeared in Chicago at Davenport’s and The Jazz Cave at the Nashville Jazz Workshop, and, the New York Cabaret Convention in Lincoln Center’s Rose Hall.
