Hailed by the New Yorker as “funny and touching, ceaselessly clever and scarily talented,” Nellie McKay bedazzles with interpretations of American classics like “Wonderful Guy”, “The Gentleman is a Dope” and “Knock on Wood” that are both captivating and fresh. McKay, who also plays the piano and banjo, truly shines during her original songs including “Bodega,” “One’s on the Way” and “Politan.”
