Vocalist Lucille Carr-Kaffashan returns to Don’t Tell Mama with the Summer Edition of Three Seasons of Singer-Songwriters: Unwritten, on Thursday, July 20 at 7 PM and Sunday, August 13 at 4 PM. She will be joined by music director Jeff Cubeta on piano and back-up vocals, Matt Scharfglass on bass and Sean Harkness on guitar. David Hilder directs.
The Bistro and MAC Hanson Award winning Carr-Kaffashan moves on in the series to Unwritten, a celebration of 21stc female singer-songwriters, the show for which she received a 2017 Bistro Award. Unwritten features the music of singer-songwriters including Adele, Meghan Trainor, Susan Werner, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Sara Bareilles and others. In contrast with her recent 1970’s show, Unwritten offers a glimpse into the minds and hearts of contemporary women.
Prior to finding her musical home on the cabaret stage, Carr-Kaffashan performed for a number of years in the regional theater productions of the New Jersey-based Entertainers Theater. Since her Don’t Tell Mama debut in 1999, she has presented eleven different shows at clubs in New York City, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, including Mama Rose’s, The Encore, Helen’s, Odette’s, The Stockton Inn, Bob Egan’s Cabaret Supper Club, and The RRazz Room. She has also appeared as a guest performer in special productions at the Laurie Beechman Theater, The Metropolitan Room and 53 Above in NYC, at Tim McCloone’s Supper Club in Asbury Park, NJ, and at Dino’s Backstage in Glenside, PA.
There is a $15 music charge, plus a $20 (must include two drinks) minimum per person at each performance. Reservations can be made online at donttellmamanyc.com.
Don’t Tell Mama is located at 343 West 46th Street in New York City, between 8th and 9th Avenues.
