Can You Surry? The Songs of Laura Nyro
Stoned Soul Picnic. Wedding Bell Blues. Eli's Coming. And When I Die. Stoney End. Save the Country.
These well-known songs and less-familiar gems by Laura Nyro get the spotlight in a new show by Shepley Metcalf, described by The Boston Globe as an "excellent cabaret/jazz singer (who) is foremost a sensitive interpreter of lyrics."
Laura Nyro (1947-1997), hailed as "one of the most important singer/songwriters of the '60s and '70s" by Rolling Stone, fused elements of soul, folk, jazz and Broadway tradition to create her unique sound. Nyro's albums "Eli and the Thirteenth Confession," "New York Tendaberry" and "Christmas and the Beads of Sweat" earned her a devoted following and critical acclaim. Cover versions of her songs by The Fifth Dimension, Barbra Streisand, Blood Sweat and Tears and Three Dog Night became huge hits. This spring Nyro's musical talents and influence on other artists are honored as she is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
