June Line-Up Announced for Any Wednesday & Other Events

The Any Wednesday series, featuring acclaimed Broadway, jazz and cabaret performers, continues at Barnes & Noble Lincoln Center this June.

June 6 is the anniversary of D-Day and to commemorate the occasion, the series will host the cast of the off-Broadway hit musical When the Lights Go On Again.  "This nostalgic show uses a cavalcade of period songs, both well-known and newly rediscovered, to chart the adventures of a musical quartet during the War years," as described in press materials.
 
On June 13, jazz flutist Chip Shelton and his band will perform. "Chip is celebrating the release of his newest album, 'Have Flute Will Travel,' featuring his swinging interpretation of great American standards."
 
June 20 brings the arrival of a new crooner from Canada, Vincent Wolfe." Established in his home-country with his arresting delivery of classic songs and new gems, Vincent is now building a reputation in New York City as well."
 
June 27 welcomes Waldorf Astoria's resident singer/pianist Daryl Sherman celebrating her new CD, "Guess Who's In Town Today?" "Come and enjoy this veteran of the New York cabaret world as she treats you to a selection of her favorite songs."
