ONE of them got to play Annie. The other one swears she’s not bitter but STILL needs a drink.
Award-winning New York singer/songwriters Cassandra Kubinski and Amy Engelhardt have both toured the world with their music. Collectively, they’ve shared the stage and/or studio with brilliants including Barbra Streisand, Jill Sobule, Harry Shearer, Billy Joel, Paul Shaffer and Weird Al Yankovic.
What happens when you give these two powerhouse performers the stage for 75 minutes?
SONGS FROM THE BRINK
“The originality and intelligence of Engelhardt’s lyrics evoke John Forster, the four-time Grammy nominee, well known to listeners of National Public Radio for his collaborations with Tom Chapin….Engelhardt is so fundamentally likable and her lyrics so clever and poignant… riotously funny.” BroadwayWorld.com
AMY ENGELHARDT scored OBA Best New Musical Nominee/Rodgers/O’Neill Finalist BASTARD JONES at the cell theatre (also co-lyricist), TRIPTYCH (NY Transit Museum Commission), her solo show IMPACT (Jury Prize: Best Score, National Women’s Theatre Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, Emerging Artists NYC New Works, The Tank NYC, Voila Festival London), ANNIE DREAM WILL DO (book/music/lyrics, Prospect Musicals) and O’Neill/Kleban Prize semi-Finalist A COLLECTIBLE SENSATION (with Arianna Rose), which just workshopped in Minnesota. Amy has received MAC’s Burman Songwriting Award and co-created TUNE IN TIME, New York’s Musical Theater Game Show at the York. From 1998-2012, Amy recorded and toured as the sole female vocalist/writer in Grammy-nominated, genre-busting band The Bobs. She swears that her 3rd solo CD, FINISH WHAT YOU will still be released in 2020. www.amyengelhardt.com
”Cassandra Kubinski is very similar to the singer/songwriters of the late 70s; she proves that the genre can still be transcendent.”
– BILLY JOEL
