Suzzy Roche, an original member of The Roches, has been singing for most of her life. Together with sisters Maggie and Terre, the Roches recorded thirteen albums. Their beloved Christmas recording We Three Kings is a perennial favorite. Lucy Wainwright Roche was born into two influential musical families, the Wainwrights and the Roches. Since 2007, Lucy has released two EPs and two studio albums ("Lucy" and "There's a Last Time for Everything"). Their Holiday-ish Show is a thoughtful musical journey that includes some Roches' style holiday cheer as well as material from two lifetimes of writing, singing and performing. Joining them for this special concert will be Lucy's father, Loudon Wainwright III and Special Guests, including Julie Gold and Ira Glass.
Loudon Wainwright III is a Grammy winning singer-songwriter, musician, actor and humorist. Over the years he has recorded over twenty-five albums, scored films and theatre productions, acted in numerous films and television shows. His latest release is a digital album "Haven't Got the Blues (Yet)".
Julie Gold is a NY songwriter best known for Bette Midler's version of her song "From a Distance", which won the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1991. Artists such as Nanci Griffith, Patti LaBelle, Patti Lupone, Lea Solonga, Andrea Marcovicci, Carol Woods, Sinead O'Conner and Kathie Lee Gifford have recorded her songs. She has four CDs documenting her work over the years: Dream Loud, Try Love, The Girl I Found and Love is Love is Love.
The Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew (SPSA) has been a progressive force on Manhattan's Upper West Side for decades. SPSA houses NYC's largest emergency food pantry, the West Side Campaign Against Hunger, a woman's homeless shelter and an all-volunteer tutoring program serving grades K-12. For more than twenty years, SPSA has been on the cutting edge of interfaith work, partnering with Congregation B'nai Jeshurun and Muslim groups throughout NYC. SPSA has also played a leadership role in challenging the United Methodist denomination to become fully inclusive of our LGBT members. The church, built in 1897, is currently undertaking the much-needed project to repair the sidewalks and stairs leading into the sanctuary. All proceeds from this concert will go directly to funding this renovation.
