Megan Hilty to Celebrate Album Release at Joe's Pub, 4/23

JOE'S PUB AT THE PUBLIC welcomes SMASH star Megan Hilty on April 23 for two sets at 7:30 PM & 9:30 PM to celebrate the debut album IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME (Portrait/Sony Masterworks/Columbia Records, March 12) produced by Grammy-winners Andy Zulla and Jimmy Hogarth. Tickets are on-sale today at http://www.joespub.com/ or 212-967-7555.

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME showcases a different side of HILTY. The repertoire is a significant step outside of both the musical theater world in which HILTY initially found fame as well as her television character Ivy Lynn in SMASH, in which she's sung such noteworthy songs as the Grammy-nominated "Let Me Be Your Star," Carrie Underwood's "Crazy Dreams" and the Rose Royce (and Mary J. Blige) soul hit "I'm Going Down."

At JOE'S PUB fans will have a chance to get up close and personal with the Broadway star of WICKED (Glinda) and 9 To 5: THE MUSICAL (Doralee Rhodes) as she performs fresh interpretations of compositions by stellar songwriters including Aimee Mann and Damien Rice among others. Stream T HAPPENS ALL THE TIME on Spotify.

With IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, HILTY was determined to display a side of herself that even her fans have yet to see. "I want to show a different side of me because it's the first thing I've ever done that's just me and not attached to any character or story line," says HILTY. "Coming from a musical theater background, everyone expects that I'd do a Broadway album or pop standards. Smash changed all that. We did a completely different arrangement of 'Crazy Dreams,' and it resonated with a lot of people."
