Singer/pianist Billy Stritch and vocalist Gabrielle Stravelli team up for Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other, a new show of pop music from the 1950s to the present, on Monday, June 3 at 7:00 PM at Birdland. They will be joined by bassist Pat O’Leary and drummer Mark McLean.
Though Stritch and Stravelli are best known for their interpretations of jazz repertoire and deep knowledge of the American songbook, the duo share a love of great melodies and universal stories from all genres, including pop, country and R&B. This show will feature music from a wide range of artists and writers including The Everly Brothers, Joni Mitchell, John Fogerty, Stevie Wonder, Orville Peck, Willie Nelson and more. Through 11 years of collaborating, the duo has developed a deep musical connection that allows for great spontaneity and joy in their performances.
