Karen Mack “Catch & Keep” upstairs at Birdland!

A very special one nighter celebrating the official release of “CATCH & KEEP”, the new solo album by multi-award winning artist Karen Mack!

Karen Mack is a multi-award-winning singer/songwriter based in NYC, with creative roots planted in jazz, folk, and swing. Her style meshes a warm storyteller’s sensibility with an affinity for richly-textured vocal harmony, wordplay and improvisation, creating a memorable listening experience whether you’re looking for moving ballads, soulful blues, or fierce in-the-pocket swing.

Her new solo album “Catch & Keep” is a fun mix of contemporary jazz classics, including works by Dave Frishberg, Bob Dorough, Nellie McKay and Betty Bryant, alongside originals that speak to how we hold onto things & how we let go, produced and arranged by Peter Eldridge from the internationally acclaimed vocal group, New York Voices. The night’s A-list band features Peter Eldridge (piano/additional vocals), Pete McCann (guitar), Matt Aronoff (bass), Mark McLean (drums/ percussion), and very special guests Darmon Meader and Elliot Roth.

“In addition to her sense of humor, she has the kind of voice one longs to hear…her flawless placement, appealing style and performance are electrifying!” – LGNY

For years, Peter Eldridge has been at the forefront of both the jazz and the singer/songwriter realms as a vocalist, pianist, composer, and arranger, with a slew of critically-praised albums of his own and with New York Voices, including two Grammy-Award winning projects with Paquito D’Rivera and The Count Basie Orchestra.
