Manilow to work nights

Posted in Gig Beat, News Beat

Barry Manilow has a new album out in March and tours the UK in May.

 

“‘Night Songs’ is the most intimate album I’ve ever made, just me playing the piano, bass and singing – that’s it,” said Barry.

 

“The songs I’ve chosen are a batch of my favourite standards, most of them not very famous, but fantastic songs by fantastic songwriters. I guess that means they’re un-standard standards?

 

“‘Night Songs’ reminds me of how I began. Late nights, smokey rooms, playing in bars all over New York and Chicago. I’m loving putting it together. Very sexy. Very romantic. Very ‘Paradise Cafe’, but different.”
