Show Description
"Seemingly from the golden age!" –All About Jazz"In the world of fraternal songwriting teams, America may have had the Gershwins - George and Ira - but Canada's got the Breithaupts." –Richard Ouzounian, The Toronto Star
Don and Jeff Breithaupt, the composer and lyricist (respectively) that comprise the Breithaupt Brothers, bring their ever-evolving songbook back to Joe's Pub for another all-star revue, featuring a bumper crop of new songs and favorites, as well as a sampling of songs from Seeing Stars, their "boxing musical," an old-school romantic comedy set in Depression-era New York. As songwriters, the Breithaupt Brothers take their cue from the Great American Songbook era, but bring a contemporary energy and outlook to the material that makes their romantic, wry, sophisticated originals seem entirely fresh.
Join us on October 27, 7 p.m., for another evening of Breithaupt Brothers songs performed by a brilliant, seven-piece house band and a still-evolving line-up of singers that includes Kate McGarry, Greg Naughton, Catherine Russell, Carolyn Leonhart, The Color Purple's Montego Glover, Tyley Ross, Jamie Leonhart, Alyson Palmer of BETTY, Shelley McPherson, Rikki Rumball, and teen sensation Stephanie Welton. More performers will be announced in coming days. Recent recordings of the Breithaupt Brothers' songs from Brent Carver, Dione Taylor, Adi Braun, Lorraine Lawson, and Rikki Rumball have attracted the attention of the critics (see above) and cable (two of their songs recently appeared on Showtime's The L Word). The Breithaupt Brothers Songbook will be celebrated on October 4 at the first-ever Canwest Cabaret Festival at Soulpepper Theatre Company in Toronto.
