Nellie McKay
Suggested Donation $25
Under the lonesome cry of the midnight train, stars twinkling over hillbilly lights in the mountain fog, Nellie McKay returns with her first album of original material in 13 years. Recorded in Charleston, West Virginia with The Carpenter Ants & a roving retinue of musical compadres, Hey Guys, Watch This, traces the haunted sounds of Appalachia to a renaissance of revelry. So unpack your washtub bass, fill up your red cup & pull on your shitkickers ‘cause the night is young & the moon is bright, even if we’re not.
Nellie McKay’s music has been heard on Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Weeds, Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS, Nurse Jackie, and SMILF, and she has appeared on TV shows including The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, Ferguson, and The View. Nellie has made numerous radio appearances on NPR’s Mountain Stage, A Prairie Home Companion, eTown, and Marion McPartland’s Piano Jazz. Her writing has appeared in The Onion, Interview and The New York Times Book Review.
She has won a Theatre World Award for her portrayal of Polly Peachum on Broadway in The Threepenny Opera; performed onscreen in the films PS I Love You and Downtown Express; and her music was used in movies, Rumor Has It, Monster-in-Law, PS I Love You, Gasland, Last Holiday and Private Life.
McKay co-created and starred in the award-winning off-Broadway hit Old Hats and has written three acclaimed musical biographies: I Want to Live!, the story of Barbara Graham, third woman executed in the gas chamber at San Quentin; Silent Spring: It’s Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature, an exploration of environmental pioneer Rachel Carson; and A GIRL NAMED BILL – The Life and Times of Billy Tipton. Her latest lady bio is The Big Molinsky – Considering Joan Rivers.
Nellie’s seventh album is Sister Orchid. Other albums include Normal As Blueberry Pie: A Tribute to Doris Day and My Weekly Reader, music of the ‘60s, her second collaboration with famed Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick.
