Abby Payne to Present A SHOT IN THE DARK Release Concert at Feinstein's/54 Below

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, will present Abby Payne and her band as they return to Feinstein's/54 Below to celebrate the release of her brand new album A Shot in the Dark. The record features songs from the musical The Gunfighter Meets His Match, (for which Payne wrote book, music, and lyrics), which is fresh off of Goodspeed's 2022 Festival of New Musicals. Gunfighter was also a sold out New York Musical Festival smash hit in 2018. Payne made her debut at Feinstein's/54 Below with Craig Winberry in 2019's fabulously festive Christmas Spirits: Neat Edition and is back to celebrate the release of this much anticipated album. Join Abby, her band, and special surprise guests in for a rollicking and heart-warming hour of music that will leave you with a song in your heart for days to come.
