Award-winning composer Steve Schalchlin and friends present A Genre-Bending Night of Music Combining Cabaret Heart with Beatles Harmony at Don’t Tell Mama NYC on Friday, March 7 at 7 PM.
Known for poignant storytelling and emotionally resonant music, Schalchlin brings his unique sound to an evening of laughter, reflection, and melody. Along with a special appearance by cabaret legend Sidney Myer, the ensemble features vocalist Carl Draper, known for his powerful baritone and emotive performances, rising star tenor Blake Zolfo, celebrated for his angelic voice and stage presence and virtuoso Charlie Viehl on violin, vocals, and guitar, bringing his distinctive improvisational energy to each performance. The Rebel Nerds—South African musician Gavin Gold and Maine native Jake Adams—will bring their high-energy pop-punk infused sound to several numbers, with Adams seamlessly transitioning to bass with the Bonus Round Band.
The evening culminates as Schalchlin and Gold transform into the duo Strawberry Feels NYC, bringing audiences together through the universal language of Beatles classics. Expect a Sgt. Pepper’s-inspired singalong of the Fab Four that embodies the same spontaneous, magical community spirit they create weekly in Central Park.
The cover charge is $20.00, with a $20.00 minimum (including two drinks). Cash only. Reservations at donttellmamanyc.com.
Don’t Tell Mama is located at 343 W 46th St, New York, NY
