Nellie McKay April 23, 2008

Singer and pianist Nellie McKay stretches her cabaret style vocals to include rap, rock and everything in-between. Her quirky subject matter, combined with her torchy vocal delivery, has drawn comparisons by critics to an Eminem-inspired Doris Day to jazz vocalist Blossom Dearie to the legendary composers Cole Porter and Randy Newman. Her major label debut came in 2004 with 'Get Away From Me.' She follows it up in 2006 with 'Pretty Little Head.'
