Sound Series: An Evening with Nellie McKay

Join us for a special retrospective performance by the talented singer/songwriter Nellie McKay! 🌟

Nellie will be showcasing songs from her diverse catalogue, which spans across genres like pop, jazz, rock, and folk. Since her debut album, Get Away from Me (2004), she has released nine eclectic albums that defy categorization. Her music has graced radio, TV, and film, and she has made appearances on shows such as The Late Show with David Letterman and A Prairie Home Companion.

In addition to her music career, Nellie has written and performed acclaimed biographies of notable figures like Barbara Graham, Rachel Carson, Billy Tipton, and Joan Rivers. She is also a passionate advocate for animal rights, feminism, civil rights, and environmental protection.

As Rolling Stone puts it, “A renegade songwriter with an ultraflexible Great American Songbook sensibility. McKay finds modern resonances everywhere.”
