Barb Jungr: River

accompanied by Simon Wallace

Cabaret Legend Barb Jungr returns to Crazy Coqs with RIVER, a stunning collection of songs themed around flowing water accompanied by her long time collaborator Simon Wallace on piano.

This show was a sellout in 2010 at New York’s Metropolitan Room. Now, to celebrate the release of those very concerts recorded live at New York’s Metropolitan Room in October 2010 by Jean Pierre Perreaux, remastered by Simon Wallace, Barb brings River to Crazy Coqs. Containing some of the most beautiful river songs including those by the formidable Bruce Springsteen, Ewan MaColl, Ray Davies and Joni Mitchell, Simon Wallace brings his sensitivity, joy and virtuosic musicianship to the arrangements and accompaniment.

One of the most accomplished British singers of her generation, Barb Jungr’s formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is equalled by her ability to re-interpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty.

Whether you are just discovering her work for the first time or you are one of her world-wide legion of die-hard fans, whether she is premiering brand-new, original material or revisiting treasured classics from her five decades of performance, an evening spent with Barb Jungr will be a revelation. Internationally acclaimed, Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live, recorded, and in theatre, continues to delight audiences.
