Brandon Cutrell, Suzanne Fiore,
Liz McCartney (
Mamma Mia!, Taboo), Carolyn Montgomery, Julie Reyburn,
Marty Thomas (
Wicked) and Gabrielle Stravelli will perform songs with which LaMott is associated in both concerts, while Ricky

LaMott was renowned for a versatile singing voice, clear phrasing and her ability to emotionally connect to the songs she performed.
Kathie Lee Gifford, a fervent LaMott fan who helped to make the singer known to many outside New York cabaret circles, saddened millions with the on-air announcement of the singer's death from uterine cancer in December of 1995 at the age of 41. LaMott completed six albums--"My Foolish Heart," "Beautiful Baby," "Come Rain or Come Shine: The Songs of Johnny
Mercer," "Just in Time for Christmas" and "Listen
to My Heart;" "What's Good About Goodbye?" as well as "Nancy LaMott-Live at Tavern on the Green" were released posthumously.
