Ute Lemper Performs Songs From New CD At Le Poisson Rouge In NYC 6/9

Ute Lemper, the internationally renowned multi-faceted singer-songwriter, actress, will perform songs from her new self-penned album Between Yesterday and Tomorrow with her full band on board in a one night only CD release concert June 9 at 7pm and 9pm at Le Poisson Rouge in New York. Ute will also sign copies of her new CD at Barnes and Noble on June 8 at 7:30. The album and the show are a poetic journey through the world and through her life.

The album and show consist of visions and events that stayed in her mind and intrigued or fascinated her, that shocked or hurt her. Ute describes it as close ups onto people's faces, places of poetry or doom and close ups into her own heart. It is not chanson or theatrical material but a more contemporary, reflective and poetic voyage through the world and through time. It is groovy, intimate, jazzy and sexy. The songs are a departure from her Pan-European cabaret style, songs from the Weimar era, and American Song Book

Some of the songs Ute will sing tell the story of life and love, chapters and a never ending evolution, doors that open and doors that close only to surprise you with something new or something old, only to make you wake up or lull you into happy or painful feelings, only to continue the story of your life. Other songs walk through more cinematic territories--Ute's memories about Berlin during the cold war, Berlin, the little scarred island in the middle of the East Block. It is also a journey through the Middle East, as Ute sings an old Arabic poem written by the Islamic teacher Ibn al Arabi in the 12th century, about the highest purpose of Religion and faith being love.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at the box office or by visiting www.lepoissonrouge.com.
