| Ellen Kaye, entertainer/entrepreneur and pianist/composer Jed Distler come together again after many years to share their deep and abiding love for the music of Tom Waits.
Jed Distler and Ellen Kaye's Tom Waits' history stretches back: when they first met at Sarah Lawrence College in 1979 they performed Grapefruit Moon together; in 1998, on the Coney Island records CD 2 AM, they recorded Eggs & Sausage and Muriel.
Over the years Distler and Kaye have taken their Tom Waits renditions from The Monkey Bar to the Algonquin to the Angry Squire and beyond. Now they are bringing them to Moscow 57 and to Cornelia Street Café. Producer/entrepreneur Seth Goldman goes back to the Sarah Lawrence days with Ellen and Jed. "Long before it was fashionable, |
Ellen was plumbing the depths of Waits's work and making the interpretations all her own." Goldman co-produced both 2 AM and Ellen's second CD, 3 AM...the dogs, the milkman and me, which includes Waits's Saving All My Love For You and Midnight Lullaby. Guest musicians joining Ellen and Jed are Jordan Pettay on saxophone, accordionist Yuri Lemeshev, Benjamin Franklin Brown on bass and Art Lillard ondrums.
Kiss Me Like a Stranger
will be performed on Thursday, April 9th at Cornelia Street Café and on
Friday, April 17th
at
Moscow 57
.
Join them and watch as this show evolves, while they explore new tunes and immerse themselves in their old favorites...as they get
Drunk on the Moon
and look deep into
The Heart of a Saturday Night

A GREAT NEW MOVEMENT FROM UN WOMEN
|
|
Cheryl Benton, founder of The Three Tomatoes and President of the NY Chapter of the US National Committee for UN Women, first saw Ellen performing
When I Was A Boy at The Metropolitan Room in Chelsea. Inspired by Ellen's performance, Cheryl invited her to perform at the 11th Annual UN Women Luncheon in March 2012.
Today, Ellen and Cheryl join forces once again in hopes of eliminating gender inequality once and for all. They've decided to use the great Dar Williams tune When I Was A Boy to further awareness for the cause
and spread the word!

HEY BOY
|
HEY BOY-
When his parents tell him he isn't big enough to care for a shelter dog, a small boy begins his struggle to "grow up faster
than anybody!"
Over the years, as the boy learns to tie his shoes, to write homework, and to remember other people's birthdays. He
visits the shelter to spend time with his friend and dream about the future.
And in the end, his love blossoms into the strength and
courage he needs to redeem their years apart.
Bedtime stories come in all shapes and sizes, and in this one a child facing the challenge of growing up learns that love can be stronger than sadness, more enduring than time, and a key to happiness in an imperfect world.
Hey Boy by Ben Strouse & Jen Phelan.

Songwriter--Actress--Singer
Why did I write "Loneliness Makes You Stupid?" Maybe it was the 3a.m. wake-up call from one of my girlfriends hiding in her own bathroom, asking in a hushed tone , "What do I do with an uncircumcised penis?" Maybe it was the count-less and unbelievable love-tales of betrayal shared by females of all ages and ethnicity, while we dried our nails at a salon! Or... maybe... it was the boyfriend who never spent the night after you know what... because (and these were his exact words)...
