upcoming Nellie McKay shows (including Highline Ballroom?)

New Eye Medias Killer Filler series presents Nellie McKay giving Doris Day her due with Normal As Blueberry Pie - A musical and interview Tribute To Doris Day. The perfect filler to celebrate the big band era of the 40s into Doris Days later film career.

Ms. McKay has picked up not just antique musical styles, but also a tone thats even more, exasperating, exhilarating, and altogether uncategorizable. Nellies fresh take on music and life with a curtsy to Doris, a nod to convention, and a unique twist all her own, featuring handpicked songs from over 600 recordings by Ms. Day. Nellie, who plays several instruments, and uses four different old-time mics to evoke various moods (all lovingly engineered and mixed by recording maestro James Farber).

Her music has been heard on Weeds, Greys Anatomy, NCIS and Privileged, and she has dueted with Eartha Kitt, Trey Anastasio, Taj Mahal, and shared the stage with Odetta, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello and other notables in aid of various progressive pursuits.

Doris Day is the # 1 female box-office star of all time, and one of the most prolific recording artists in history. In 1977, she became a leader in the animal welfare movement, an important cause for McKay. Shes pursuing a change in the mind-set that allows human beings to treat other species as objects, says Nellie.
