Vocalist Susan Winter
Susan Winter, 2009 Bistro award-winner for Outstanding Vocalist and MAC winner for her CD, “Love rolls on…LIVE!” is a singer’s singer. She has been most recently making a name for herself in the New York cabaret scene, but she has worked in and around New York clubs for many years. This native New Yorker has performed with her trio in intimate jazz spaces and has also sung with big bands, following the charts of the famous 30’s and 40’s singers.
She was a regular at Catch a Rising Star and went on the road to work in many of the popular Catskill Mountain resorts and jazz clubs in surrounding states; but she took a hiatus to raise her two sons. And now, she’s back! Cabaret Hotline’s Carla Gordon says, “Susan has a luscious, smooth delivery, but also has a way with a lyric.” Her style may have been born in a bygone era but it is unmistakably contemporary. Her approach is a unique blend of pop, jazz and cabaret.
Susan has done several shows. Along with non-themed shows of popular music, Susan also has staged three themed shows. A long time fan and aficionado of movie classics, having grown up in an era of classic television black and white movies, Susan Winter pays homage to the composers, singers, actors and dancers of that wonderful bygone time in a show she calls, “Million Dollar Matinee.” For this show, Susan received a nomination for the coveted MAC award in 2008.....
Vocalist Karen Oberlin
Fresh from her highly critically-acclaimed three-week Oak Room at the Algonquin engagement, the Bistro and MAC Award winning jazz-cabaret vocalist Karen Oberlin was recently described by Stephen Holden in The New York Times as having “impeccable style, musical intelligence (and) interpretive insight.” Rex Reed, in the New York Observer said her performance was “thrilling,” and continued, “I loved the bebop jawbreakers, and she excels on the love songs.
Musically spot on.' From her last Iridium show, Elizabeth Ahlfors had this to say in Cabaret Scenes Magazine: 'Warm intimacy, pitch perfect, funny, poignant, mellow, sexy and spirited (with) a sophisticated sense of phrasing... At the Iridium, Karen Oberlin reprised her show with mature, ebullient, confident Oberlin jazz savvy.'
She has appeared at other major New York venues such as Jazz at Lincoln Center, Town Hall, Feinstein’s at the Regency, Merkin Hall and of course the Oak Room at the Algonquin. She has two highly acclaimed CD’s, and another live CD due in the Fall. Ms. Oberlin appeared in more than 100 Off-Broadway performances of the smash-hit show 'Our Sinatra,” and has performed her own shows nationally and abroad.
