Gaily skipping from one genre to the next, without being pigeonholed to any, Nellie McKay is one of the most captivating musical artists performing today. A singer, songwriter, comedienne, actress and ukulele player to boot, 29-year-old McKay has released five albums since 2004, each a delicious left-turn from the previous. Whether it be a tribute to Doris Day or something from her new musical “I Want to Live!”, her songs have a knack for beckoning fans in with sly innuendos, slapstick wit and serious musicality.
