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 Café Carlyle debut in a two-week run, March 24 through April 4.

The additional performances will take place on Friday March 27 at 10:45pm and Friday, April 3 at 10:45pm. Reservations made by phone at 212.744.1600 are $95 ($145 for premium seating, $55 for bar seating).

Originally opened in 1955, Café Carlyle is New York City's bastion of classic cabaret entertainment, a place where audiences experience exceptional performers at close range in an exceedingly elegant setting. Since composer Richard Rodgers moved in as The Carlyle's first tenant, music has been an essential part of The Carlyle experience. No place is that more evident than in the Café Carlyle.

Café Carlyle is known for talents including Woody Allen, who regularly appears on Monday evenings to play with the Eddy Davis New Orleans jazz band. For three decades, Café Carlyle was synonymous with the legendary Bobby Short, who thrilled sell-out crowds for 36 years. His spirit lives on through the music at Café Carlyle.

Continuing the tradition of the 1930s supper club, Café Carlyle features original murals created by French artist Marcel Vertès, the Oscar-winning art director of the 1952 Moulin Rouge.
