**Nellie McKay live at Eddie's Attic!**
Nellie McKay has released an eclectic bunch of critically acclaimed albums, her songs and sound ranging from jazz to pop to indefinable. With her latest, HEY GUYS, WATCH THIS, ably assisted by The Carpenter Ants, she taps into the soulful sounds of West Virginia. Coming soon: the GET AWAY FROM ME demos on Omnivore Records.
She won a Broadway Theatre World Award for Polly Peachum in The Threepenny Opera, co-created and starred in off-Broadway’s Old Hats, and created musical biographies of Barbara Graham, Rachel Carson, Joan Rivers, and Billy Tipton (named “Best Concerts of the Year” by The New York Times).
As well as acting in the films PS I Love You and Downtown Express, Nellie provided music for Rumor Has It, Monster-In-Law, Last Holiday, Gasland, Private Life, and PS I Love You.
Her TV appearances include David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Craig Ferguson, The View, and Jimmy Dore, and her music has been heard on Mad Men, Weeds, Boardwalk Empire, Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS, and Nurse Jackie.
Most recently, Nellie was nominated for an Ovation Award for her performance in Ethan Coen’s A Play is a Poem at the Mark Taper Forum.
McKay is a recipient of PETA’s Humanitarian Award for her dedication to animal rights, and she is a vocal critic of endless war, capitalism, and the two-party system that sustains them.
