Shelley

 

In the course of a remarkably long career, with successes from the 1920s all the way into the 1970s, Dorothy Fields wrote some of the most enduring lyrics of the golden age of the American popular song. My band and I will present many of her tunes on the 23rd of February.

In the band will be Bill Dendle-guitar and banjo, Shelley Denny-upright bass, Tom Phillips-guitar, Ryan Coughran-clarinet and me-vocalist. We hope you will join us.

The Side Door is a listening room. They do not serve dinner or alcohol. But, there is a lovely restaurant right next door where you may eat and drink before the show. That is where the band will be!
