Andrea Marcovicci @ The Plush Room

Though her voice doesn't pack the same punch it did when I heard her 20 years ago, Andrea Marcovicci is still putting on a hell of a show at The Plush Room cabaret in the York Hotel. She's optimistic, emotional, funny, genuine, committed, welcoming -- all sorts of things that are good in an entertainer.

She plays several months a year at the Oak Room in the Algonquin Hotel, where it would cost you double to see her. Go here, in the intimate, wonderful Plush Room. She performs lovely songs, most from the American popular songbook, including lots of lesser-known tunes, as well as putting her own stamp on songs you know. She's there through the end of the month, so you still have time to catch her.
