(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Cabaret-rock singer-songwriter Nellie McKay brings her uniquely eccentric blend of pop, rock, jazz and hip-hop to Club Helsinki Hudson on Saturday, November 30, 2013, at 9pm. The multi-talented Nellie McKay made her smash debut nearly a decade ago with her groundbreaking double-CD, “Get Away from Me,” showcasing her eclectic musical reach and her dazzling lyrical wit (which extended to the album’s title, a subtle play on the breakthrough album by a somewhat similarly inclined pop-folk jazz singer named Norah Jones).

Nellie McKay has won a Theatre World Award for her portrayal of Polly Peachum in the Broadway production of “The Threepenny Opera” and performed onscreen in the film “PS I Love You,” as well as writing original music for the Rob Reiner film “Rumor Has It” and contributing to the New York Times Book Review. Her music has also been heard on the TV shows “Weeds,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “NCIS,” “Privileged,” “Boardwalk Empire” and “Nurse Jackie.”

Singer-pianist McKay is a dedicated vegan and animal rights activist, who has also recorded an album paying tribute to the songs of Doris Day. McKay’s most recent album, “Home Sweet Mobile Home,” continues the musical wanderlust, lyrical playfulness and unique point of view that has characterized her music since her debut.
