For her Oak Room engagement, which will run from September 23rd through October 11th, KT will perform songs that reflect Kern’s and her own astonishing range and versatility…”Folks Who Live on the Hill,” “In Love in Vain,” “Yesterdays,” “A Fine Romance,” “The Last Time I Saw Paris,” “Who?” and “Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man” and “I’m Old Fashioned,”among others. Joining KT will be musical director/pianist Tedd Firth, bassist Steve Doyle and Andy Farber on reeds. Eric Michael Gillett directs.
