Event Description


The Christine Spero Group is excited to present “Spero Plays Nyro” The Music of Laura Nyro .  In this is heartfelt and moving tribute to Laura Nyro, one of the greatest and most covered songwriters of the 20th Century. Songstress Christine Spero, pianist, songwriter and vocalist, along with her group will take the listener on an unforgettable journey through some of Laura’s most memorable songs.  The exquisite arrangements are true to Laura’s originals but with many sweet creative touches, beautifully interpreted in the group’s own distinct style with a rhythm section that keeps the music driving and steady -- but never imposing -- along with excellent Piano and Sax solos, flutes and multiple percussion accents. 

 

2018 is a big year for fans of the music of Laura Nyro, one of the 20th century's greatest songwriters. March 3, 2018 marks the Fiftieth Anniversary of the release of Laura Nyro's album Eli and the Thirteenth Confession co-produced by Charlie Calello. (Franki Valli's Four Seasons). It was considered one of the two most important albums that year, the other being the Beatles White Album. 

 
The Christine Spero Group will be bringing Spero Plays Nyro, ("And When I Die," "Eli's Coming," "Stoned Soul Picnic" "Wedding Bell Blues," "Sweet Blindness") to venues around the country and would love to include yours.
