 BECKIE MENZIE singer, pianist
http://www.beckiemenzie.com “One of Chicago’s top cabaret dolls, where ever her musical road leads, it’s always a delight.” -- Jeff Rossen, After Dark Two-time winner of Chicago’s After Dark “Outstanding Cabaret Artist” award, Beckie performs regularly in Chicago at Gentry on State, Maxim’s, and at Davenports. The Chicago Tribune calls her “a cunningly intelligent performer, her vocals more sumptuous and her pianism more virtuosic than ever.” She has been a featured performer several times at the Cabaret Conventions in both New York City and Chicago, as well as the ASCAP, Chicago Humanities Festival Songwriters Now, and A Woman Wrote That Song concerts. Beckie is an accomplished songwriter, and some of her original songs are featured on her nationally acclaimed CDs. Her most recent release is “Real Emotional Girl” which Cabaret Scenes has called “one of the year’s finest.” Both that and her first CD “Heart & Soul” are an eclectic mix of classic ballads, standards, jazz favorites and featuring three of her original compositions. Billboard and Back Stage magazines also recognized Beckie for her vocals and musical arrangements on both of singer Tom Michael’s CDs. Beckie is incredibly proud of her collaborations with friend and singing partner, Tom Michael and that Chicago Tribune calls them “one of the more compelling duos working in cabaret today.” Together they tour the country and perform at private parties with their shows: HEY, LOOK ME OVER The Music of Cy Coleman THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK Some of America's most beloved songs I HEAR MUSIC The celebration of music to entertain, inform and be joyous BROADWAY, OUR WAY Beckie & Tom's unique take on music from the theatre Beckie Menzie 6033 N.
