Moira Danis returns to Don't Tell Mama with two additional performances of Some People's Lives, which gives audiences a glimpse into the lives of those around us - friends, lovers, relatives, and strangers. Each has a unique story to be told but using a delightful and emotional mix of songs by established writers like Stephen Sondheim, Cy Coleman, Tommy Wolf and Jimmy Webb and relatively new artists like Sara Bareilles, Susan Werner and Chely Wright, Moira shines a light on the connections that exist between us and the similarities shared by "Anyone Who Loves". Moira will be supported by, and singing with, a band featuring some of New York's finest musicians -- Wells Hanley on piano, Brian Griffin on percussion and Ben Mars on bass.
With her classically trained lyric soprano voice and her unbridled enthusiasm, Moira has fashioned a string of unique, tuneful cabaret shows over the past few years. In First Childhood, she explored the joys of youth; in Double Rainbow she focused on Latin music; and in The Greatest Show on Earth she used the circus as a metaphor for life, love and that old stand-by, the pursuit of happiness. 2005's I Wish It So served as the basis for her well-received debut CD, I Wish, and 2006's Beautiful Sounds, a loving tribute to the remarkable career of Petula Clark, became her second recording.
