Cabaret singer and actor Julie Budd brings her cabaret concert The Songs of My Life to New York's Birdland Theater May 1–4. The concert features material from such songwriters as Duke Ellington, Carole King, Barry Manilow, Marc Shaiman, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Neil Sedaka, Oscar Levant, and more.
“Growing up, the songs I was singing were written by the greats—people that in my future, I would know and work with," said Budd. “The Songs Of My Life is my journey in music…my life in art…and how it all shaped my life and good fortune for the next 53 years in show business. This is my heartfelt tribute to the great composers and lyricists that I had the grand fortune to know. How lucky I was to perform their brilliant works! After all…what good is a voice if you don’t have wonderful songs to sing?”
