Cafe Carlyle to Welcome Cheyenne Jackson, Debbie Harry & More for Winter Season

The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel has announced the Café Carlyle's winter 2015 season, which features the highly anticipated return of Café favorites Herb Alpert & Lani Hall, Bettye LaVette and Alexa Ray Joel; as well as venue debuts by Cheyenne Jackson and Debbie Harry. More artists to be announced soon.

The New York Times has praised Cheyenne Jackson, who has twice sold out Carnegie Hall, for his "gleaming timbre and stamina to burn." With stage credits including The Performers, 8, Finian's Rainbow, Damn Yankees and Xanadu; television appearances on 30 Rock, Glee, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Ugly Betty; and film work including Love is Strange, United 93, Price Check and Lola Versus, the actor and singer-songwriter makes his debut at the Café to open the winter season, January 13-24.

Bettye LaVette "now rivals Aretha Franklin as her generation's most vital soul singer," according to The New York Times. With five decades of recording and performing to sold out venues all over the globe, she is an undisputed world-class interpreter of any genre of song. In her return to Café Carlyle, January 27-February 7, LaVette will showcase her inimitable style, gut wrenching vocals and songs from throughout her five decade career, as well as her new album, Worthy, which comes out the day of the first show.

Singer-songwriter Alexa Ray Joel brings her unique artistry back to the Café for a two-week run of shows, February 24 through March 7. Reviewing her April engagement at the Café, The New York Times called Joel, daughter of music legend Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley, "a singer following her own heart," adding, "Her original work... is firmly grounded in a pop tradition in which streams converge, from gospel to Tin Pan Alley. The songs are bluntly melodic, lyrically direct and catchy."

Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist, entrepreneur and philanthropist; Herb Alpert is a man with a profound passion empowering his every endeavor. He makes his return to Café Carlyle along with his wife, GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist Lani Hall, in a two-week run of shows, March 10-21. The pair arrives with the New York premiere of all-new show following the release of Herb's latest album, In The Mood (Shout! Factory, September 2014), which premiered #2 on Billboard's Traditional Jazz chart, and is his first album in 27 years to make the Billboard 200 chart. Lani will release her first audio book, Emotional Memoirs & Short Stories, in early 2015.

While perhaps best known for her trailblazing 40-year career with iconic Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame band Blondie, Debbie Harry has always staunchly resisted the option of coasting on her laurels. Instead she has followed an idiosyncratic path that has demonstrated her restless creative spirit, wide-ranging interests and diverse skills. She has performed alongside Marina Abramovic's performance art, collaborated with New York avant-garde ensemble the Jazz Passengers; sang on recordings by Nick Cave and Moby, among others; been featured in more than 30 films including David Cronenberg's Videodrome and John Waters' Hairspray; and has appeared on television programs including Will and Grace, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Absolutely Fabulous. Harry makes her Carlyle debut in a two-week run, March 24 through April 4.

Throughout the season, Woody Allen will continue to perform Monday nights with the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band.
