SUMMARY:AUDREY APPLEBY
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, March 8.  AUDREY APPLEBY\, in “Life…A Seduction Tour.”  Based primarily in New York and Paris\, Ms. Appleby is a singer/songwriter/poetess who has invented a new genre she calls “Hot Chill\,” whose recent show at Pangea earned glowing reviews.  Ms. Appleby has also performed in New York at Steinway Hall (breaking a 100 year “classical music only” tradition!) and at BargeMusic (under the Brooklyn Bridge\,) as well as at Rockwood Music Hall\, The Top Of The Tower at the Beekman Tower Hotel\, Makor\, The Triad\, and The Ballroom; she has performed in Paris at Caveau De La Huchette\, Cafe Universel\, Peniches Balle Au Bon\, Le Calife\, Chez Papa\, and Le Bilboquet\, and she has performed at The American Embassy in Lyon.  She was the recipient of an ASCAP/MAC award in New York for her original song “Miami Mosaic\,” and was chosen as “pick of the week” for Paris Time Out Magazine during her European tour.  She has won numerous awards and citations along the way.  Performing with a dancer’s grace\, she and her work can perhaps be best described through the words of others:   “The most beautiful music to be on this stage.”…Michael Kerker\, Director\, Manhattan Association of Cabarets/ASCAP.  “Audrey’s music invokes the combined mystique of world-traveler meets everyday woman meets romance-novel heroine…it is a ticket out of ordinary reality and into the realm of unabashed fantasy.”… Melissa Middleton\, Director\, Good News Gospel Choir.  “Latin infused jazz/cabaret\, cool\, sultry\, soaring\, with fine musicianship\, rhythm\, and instrumentation. An interesting perspective with a mix of vantage points in subject matter\, from the singer’s personal experience\, to looking at the songs from a distance.”…Jon Mann\, Development and Arts Education\, Circle in the Square Broadway Theatre.  “Amusing observations that will hopefully revolutionize our culture some day.”…Mike Sembos\, Fairfield County Weekly.  “Extremely Clever…”  Bob Leone\, Songwriters Hall Of Fame.  Ms. Appleby’s show features “mostly original sambas\, salsas\, bossas\, and jazz\, with a few standards\,” sung primarily in English\, but with French\, Spanish\, and Italian fare as well\, all supported by a 5-piece band.  More can be learned at audreyappleby.com.

SUMMARY:MATT WATSON
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Feb. 8.  MATT WATSON.  Obsessed with harmonica since listening to his grandmother play her Hohner Vest Pocket Harp one Sunday afternoon\, Mr. Watson picked up a “10-hole Marine Band” harmonica at age 16\, and “couldn’t put it down\,” graduating to the “Super Chromonica” chromatic harmonica after hearing “Toots” Theileman play the theme song from Sesame Street on hers.  His obsession continuing\, he has played virtuoso harmonica with Leo LeBlanc\, Louis Lacayo\, Garrison White\, Wilson Picket\, The Commitments\, the Jamie Faunt Trio\, The Johnny Walker Blues Band\, The Horse Soldiers\, and Chad Watson (no relation.)  His work is heard on the CD’s Singing in the Valley (The Horse Soldiers\,) Blue to the Bone (Blue by Nature\,) and A Cowboy Christmas (Warner/Scotti Bros. Records.)  He is heard on the sound track for the motion picture The Return of the Killer Shrews\, and counts among his proudest moments performing with Country Music star Randy Travis at the 1993 Golden Boot Awards sponsored by the Motion Picture & Television Fund Foundation. \nAfter hearing his contributions to The Gardenia’s Open Mike nights\, our assessment is that Mr. Watson has the potential to do for the harmonica what Kenny G did for the saxophone:  bring the Vox Humana– like qualities of the instrument to “the masses\,” instilling a new appreciation for its range:  from Frontier aggression to jazz and the blues\, to a pianissimistic plaintive delicacy that can break your heart.  Who knew that amplified harmonica could be so affecting?  And aren’t we audience members lucky to be the beneficiaries of another man’s musical obsession?  Mr. Watson’s virtuosity is\, in fact\, stunning. \n

Here\, singing about how long it’s been since [Baez] shared her twin bed with a stranger\, Maggart sensually touched her face and hair and even the piano…. \n“A wonderful choice was “Werewolf” by Maggart’s Grammy Award-winning sister\, the pop star\, Fiona Apple.  Maggart paired “Werefolf” with Bonnie Rait’s song “Just Like That\,” the song that beat Apple’s at the 2023 Grammy Awards….Her rendition was tear-inducing for this reviewer.” \n“If only Strangers wasn’t a single outing by Maggart here in New York; it’s a show well worth seeing\, especially to search out if you’re planning an LA trip any time soon.” \nIn addition to her outings at The Gardenia and Birdland\, Miss Maggart has graced The Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel in New York\, attained national radio exposure by appearing with Garrison Keillor at the Town Hall broadcast of A Prarie Home Companion\, charmed Keillor so much that he invited her to appear with him again at The Hollywood Bowl\, appeared on the cover of Time Out New York\, and was the recipient of the Time Out New York MAC Award for “Special Achievement in Cabaret\,” AND the MAC Award for “Best Female Debut.”  In 2006\, she made her Carnegie Hall debut with Michael Feinstein\, sang with John Lithgow on his new children’s CD\, broke the summer attendance record at The Colony in Palm Beach\, sang with jazz great Dick Haymes and his orchestra at the Oregon Jazz Festival\, was listed by Entertainment Weekly as one of the top 100 Summer picks\, and participated in the filming of Bob Downey’s documentary on Kurt Weill.  She has also performed in London\, Chicago\, and Australia. Our favorite endorsement of her comes from Jim Bruce:  “If you have not yet heard Maude Maggart sing\, I envy you the moment of discovery because there is nothing quite like the very first time you realize what a talent she is.  Then again there is also nothing quite like every single time after.” \n
