Description
Beyond the Borscht Belt takes you on a musical journey that begins in the shtetls of Eastern Europe, moves to the Second Avenue music halls on New York's Lower East Side, takes center stage at the resort colonies of the Catskill Mountains, mambos through Miami's Deco dance clubs, and plays a leading role in shaping American comedy, culture, and popular music.
Beyond the Borscht Belt features an entertaining and eclectic mix of Yiddish and klezmer gems, jazz, rock, and Latin fusion, big hits from the Big Band era, novelty tunes, and classics from the Great American Songbook—all influenced by the vibrant melodies that emerged from the shtetls of Eastern Europe.
Comedic Songstress, Nancy Gaddy, backed by a seven-piece klezmer orchestra, offers up an inimitable blend of memorable tunes, humorous musings, a splash of schmaltz, and a smidgen of schtick.
