Tedd Firth News

Just last month, Melissa Errico returned to her home at 54 Below and to her favorite songwriter with an entirely new program of Sondheim songs, celebrating her new album (released February 16, 2024 on Concord) and a different side of Steve. Check out video highlights!

Rosemary Clooney's lifetime of music is explored in Carolyn Montgomery's thought-provoking, memory-stoking act GIRLSINGER, directed by Sally Mayes. Its second NYC presentation on May 22nd is updated and expanded from its opening night in January. It will be followed by bookings in Florida plus LA, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, & Seattle.

MAC, BackStage Bistro and Nightlife Award-winning singer Carolyn Montgomery paid tribute to Rosemary Clooney, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. She puts her own spin on Clooney classics without ever attempting to impersonate. See highlights from the May 22nd show taken by photographer Conor Weiss.
