On Monday, June 10 at 7pm, singer Susan Mack will return to Birdland with her new show, “No More Blues.” Renowned for having “a voice as full-bodied as honey with impeccable pitch and delicious taste in music,” Susan breathes new life into beloved jazz standards, timeless classics from the Great American Songbook and a sprinkling of contemporary surprises. She’ll be singing iconic compositions by legends such as Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Billy Strayhorn, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and the Beatles. Pianist Tedd Firth will act as Musical Director, with David Finck on bass, Eric Halvorson on drums, with direction by Lina Koutrakos.
A native New Yorker with a lifelong passion for music, Susan’s journey from the world of finance to the stage has been nothing short of extraordinary. The unique combination of Susan’s jazz and cabaret singing along with her ability to infuse each performance with warmth, wit and a passion for storytelling, has earned her numerous accolades including Best Vocalist in the 2024 Broadway World NYC Cabaret Awards and a nomination for Best Female Vocalist for the upcoming 2024 Annual MAC Awards. Her debut show in 2018, “Nobody Else But Me,” directed by the legendary Marilyn Maye, was also nominated for a MAC Award for Best Female Debut.
Susan’s talent has taken her to some of the most prestigious venues in New York including Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall as well as Chelsea Table & Stage, Jazz on Main, and Mezzrow. Her musical journey has also taken her beyond New York, with memorable performances at Davenport's in Chicago and The Jazz Cave in Nashville.
